fill-in-the-blank... saturday?

i'm not gonna lie to you friends... this one kind of got away from me.  it's been a crazy random interesting last few days here in denver.  and i missed fill-in-the-blank friday, as well as work, yesterday.  it all started thursday late afternoon with chloe's (warning: their website is kind of sleazy but in my defense i was only at the garden bar!) happy hour in the garden with my good ol' friend jess.  well i'm not quite sure what happened but whatever it was i was super super sick all day friday, which meant laying on mom's couch and watching arrested with aj, who is in town for the weekend (uh-oh...! :) ).  after a three hour nap and serious lounging, we finally made it to green russell.  not quite as cool as raine's, but definitely a welcome change of pace for denver hangouts.  anyway.  you can see where this is headed.  as usual the night ended at red square ("where all nights go to die," as aj says) where we ran into some old friends.  a great time was had by all, except maybe walker ;)  don't worry, there are no pictures to share.  that's a good thing.

just real quick, have to post this to share.  ran into a friend from what feels like a few lifetimes ago who shall remain anonymous (i know now he reads the blog!) who had the line of the night: 'i walked her to the bus stop, like a perfect gentleman...' wow.  good times.

but anyway i started this series just a week ago and i'm already skipping.  not good.  i'll try to do better folks.  in honor of this being my last weekend before school starts, it's a summer blank special.

summer edition! 


1. one of my happiest moments ever was... october 2006, italy, with five of the most insanely awesome people i know.  we drank champagne out of the bottle at the trevi fountain and i threw a coin in the fountain and wished for true love... little did i know that one of my friends there that night would end up being my husband :)

2. summer is wedding season and weddings... are totally uniquely different to each couple.  i love going to a wedding where you can really get a sense of who the couple is by their style, their decor, their choices and their own love.  it's sooo awesome.

3. this summer has been... the first summer i haven't taken a vacation.  seriously.  but it's been a fun semi-lazy summer, with a few visitors and LOTS of biking adventures with philip.  awesome.

4. my summer food of choice has been... popsicles.  can't get enough of the tangerine just fruit bars.  amazingness in my mouth.

5. my summer uniform has been...  from the top down: curly hair --> tank top --> open shirt over it --> linen skirt --> my comfy but super cute faux-gladiator-sandals i bought in tennessee.

6. if i could spend the entire summer in one location i would choose... the villa demarco, which sadly does not exist anymore.  it was my family's summer house near port jefferson, new york, which was around for generations until just this summer.  i'm heartbroken i'll never be able to go there again - but it's been my summer destination all my life and always will be the place to summer.

7. my summer anthem is... i could never pick just one, and in the interest of honesty here i have opened up iTunes and ranked my songs in order i play them in most.  apparently it's iron & wine's the creek drank the cradle, bibio's lovers carvings, and anything belle & sebastian.  they all sound like things to listen to on bike rides :) 


that's it til my usual sunday-wrap-up post!  enjoy your saturday nights - be safe!
