Urban Girl Almanac: Summer Favorites

Another busy, long week. Movies, club parties, bike racing, rain and sun…it’s been a good one! Here’s what I learned:

• IMAX 3D movies are so worth it.
• Coffee, watermelon, nectarines and oatmeal cookies…a breakfast of champions.
• Thai food isn’t that hard to make once you have the ingredients.
• Newman’s Own spicy salt and pepper pretzels are a new favorite.
• Wear something with character to your next job interview.
• Bed, Bath & Beyond is not my favorite store, but they do have nice cheap curtains. (PS: ours is two stories with an escalator just for shopping carts, pretty fancy)
• There is a lot of power in just simply deciding that you aren’t going to be stressed or overwhelmed.
• Old friends! It’s so nice to talk to them.
• Dishes and sheets are two things that always nice in blue and white.
• I’m under budget on the wedding. Hooray!
• New resolution for the month: make the bed in the morning.
• My mom just sent me her copy of Dennison’s Bogie Book: Suggestions for Halloween and Thanksgiving. It is delightful!

We’re off to the climbing gym tonight. And our friends are coming into town tomorrow for a bike ride and an overnight stay. It should be fun. Have a great weekend!
