Rainy Day Blues

Okay so I'm not really THAT upset about swim practice being cancelled this morning, but it doesn't make me super- happy about the butt- load of rain Boston has been having. IT'S JULY!

Anyways,
So I had my first real swim meet of the season yesterday (yes in the cold rain, outdoors). I am very happy about how it went. I was on a relay, and swam the breaststroke, and the freestyle. I am also very happy to report I won all of my individual events, but came in last in the relay.

Today my cousin, his girlfriend, and his daughter (Pouty Lips Jr. for those of you who read Pouty Baby’s Nonsense) are coming over and I am super excited because I haven’t seen them in FOREVER.

In Other News:
- Boatmen Geller is having a Tent Sale Here
- I am in the 4th of July Parade! =] (ok that's not really new but it never gets old either)

Sincerely,
D

I'm Back

Okay,
So I took my break from blogging, I really missed it but I was unable to write. I recently went to my first funeral, for a really close family friend. She was the most vibrant person I knew. You know when you see those people that smile so much you think it is fake, she was like that but it was real. I am incredibly sad, and I can still hear her voice. The day we found out, I was just thinking about how I needed to call her that night and have her help me decorate my new room.

I even tried retail therapy, it didn't work as well as I hoped, but I do not regret my purchases:

I also got a Cara NY anchor headband that I love, but I couldn't find a picture.

I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. I have been pretty depressed, and am going through a rough time. I hope to be blogging again soon, but please bear with me while I take a small break.

My Sports Adventures

Imagine an idiot in a Run/ Walk... in flip flops. Not only is that bad enough, the person decides to run the last 5 or so blocks, doesn't go so well with the flip- flops. So, they decide to take off their shoes and run, barefoot.

So [once again] I have decided to get in better shape and participate in more active events and such. Swim team starts tomorrow, and I did a Run/ Walk today [yes I was a walker, but I was the first walker to finish]

Boston Magazine: "The Prep Gets the Last Laugh"

So I was looking under the press section of the Vineyard Vines Website and I noticed The Boston Magazine, so obviously I had to take a look at that. I'm not going to lie, I was expecting a typical article about the origin of Vineyard Vines [a great story if you do not know it]. Instead I was pleased to find an article that digs deep beneath the stereotype of a "prep".

You can find the article here.

Finally, summer.

Ok,

So Yesterday it was my birthday. I celebrated by eating a bunch of vanilla icing, reading, playing guitar hero, and jogging. My ideal day? Going shopping in Boston :D, and probably taking a visit down to the cape. But hey, I'm not complaining, I got to wear my Lilly Pulitzer crown =].

My Birthday presents included:

- An LG Dare [with pink case]

- Checks

- A Corum Admiral's Cup watch [I could not find a picture of it]

- A Gossip Girl Poster =]

- The Book One Fifth Avenue

And Now:

My [ambitious] Plans for summer:

-Study for the SSATs using my giant- very daunting study guide

-Reorganize and redecorate my room

-Grow out my nails

-Blog [almost] every day
