Crazy weather!

The earthquake this week was my first, and although there was no major damage it left me a little shook up.  Trying to reach loved ones with phone lines down, and cell phones jammed was really frustrating...and the complete lack of preparedness of the agency I work for was unacceptable.  I can't imagine what DC would have looked like had there been major damages and needed evacuation.  Scary.

Irene, I have to admit, gave me an excuse to do absolutely nothing this weekend and I really enjoyed it. School has begun again, and although I love learning it can be overwhelming with full time work and balancing some semblance of a social life.

This coming week is a short week, as we're going to NY, Niagara Falls, and Toronto over Labor Day weekend.  I'm really looking forward to our last excursion before Fall/Winter, but a little bummed that there isn't anything else exciting in the queue and already anxious to start planning something else!!

Pretty Studio

This is so soft and feminine looking.  I'm pretty sure our new puppy would tear it up!

Found on Apartment Therapy

And coming soon....

Downtown Toronto

A visit to the Guggenheim

Beloved Niagara Falls

The High Line, Chelsea- NYC

In the midst of work, I love, love, LOVE planning.  It gives me something to look forward to, and changes up the monotony of work.  NYC this weekend, and Canada/WNY over Labor Day weekend...

What's next!?

Sweet Summer

With school a week away, I have to wonder where my entire summer went.  The saying, "time flies as you get older" is unfortunately sooo true.

A brief recap of my summer....

 

 

Saw Sade in concert, she's still looking fly!

Lake Sherwood- went real camping for the first time in my life.

 Also-

I attended several events in DC that I've wanted to do for sometime- Screen on the Green, Jazz in the Garden, went horseback riding for the first time, attended several weddings, and spent time with important people in my life. 

The busyness has added to the feeling that it went by way too fast, but looking back I'm sure it will be one of the best summer's I've ever had :D
