Here I am with Josh’s mother, grandmother, and sweet little Ronia, wearing a dress-with-attached-tutu that I bought her for her birthday 2 years ago. I don’t know why my arms look like ham hocks, but ne’er mind, just look at those CHEEKBONES! “My whole body just hangs off these cheekbones.” Sweetie dahling.

Ginger kids in the sun! Ugh, Lord, I’ve started saying “ginger kids”. Is it because of “Southpark”? Is it a British thing? Seriously, when did we start calling red-haired kids “ginger kids”?

This was last Saturday at Josh’s grandmother’s house–there was a barbecue and lots of good food, as always. I brought a giant salad, ate the salad and some chicken and ignored the homemade cake and ice cream (snivel), miraculously. Only because Sunday is my WW weigh-in day. So far since mid-May I’ve lost 6 pounds, but I have a bunch more to go. I’m not in a rush, I just want to be healthy and also to fit into my damn pants. By, you know, wintertime.

The barbecue was followed by a rousing game of Dominos, which of course I didn’t engage in because I don’t do board games. Or domino games. Nobody even bugs me about it any more, which is great.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN MY PRIMROSES! Is he adorable, or what? DYING OVER THIS FROG.

Currently I’m trying not to engage in any activity that will rub off my fresh spray tan, which is hard. I shouldn’t have gotten it in the afternoon–usually I wait until evening. I feel a definite NEED to be outside as soon as I get off work–I just don’t feel right if I don’t get my sun on. Seattle makes you desperate for sunshine!

Speaking of sunshine (and desperation), we’re going camping tomorrow! YAYYYYYY! My favorite summer activity! I am so stoked, I can barely contain myself. The weather is supposed to be around 80 degrees and clear, which is PERFECT. Everyone and their mom is bitching about this brutally hot summer, but once again, here in Seattle it’s just right. I’m so thankful this time of year that I moved here.

Current things I’m loving:
– “Orange is the New Black”: a Netflix “original” show. Believe the hype! It’s completely addictive! We will have the entire first season watched in 3 nights at our current rate. Natasha Lyonne is perfect.

– pineapple popsicles

– dresses dresses dresses. This is the Summer of the Sundress. JUST SAY NO TO PANTS.

Have a fabulous weekend, blog logs!
