This photo was taken at the beach in Charleston, South Carolina last July when we went to see our friends Jon and Kat. I haven’t been to the beach since and my bones are aching for the ocean. Jake says maybe we can go tomorrow, and I say “Squeeeeeeeel”. He has to run 9 miles in the morning, and I have to run however many miles I feel like because the only rule I follow is there are no rules, and then we of course have a Pippynugget that is not just going to squeeze herself, so we’ll try and figure a time to go beaching. I’m achin’, y’all! Achin’!
Speaking of Pippynuggets, I saw her yesterday. In the middle of the week. I just up and drove to Westchester when I should have been at work (they gave me the morning off). She slept the whole time as a result of displaying much naughtiness and lack of sleeping for the entire night nurse’s shift.
Another speaking of…Jake and I are planning on seeing Jon and Kat next weekend in DC! We hope it works out. Kat and I sort of have a non-formal agreement that when we hang out we will always work dancing funny into the mix.
Smell ya later.
I almost forgot! Jake is selling a bunch of stuff on his Mag page. Go over if you want a piece.

This is a negative post.
Summer has zipped by, and I’ve been so busy that it has maybe even double zipped. I’m jam packed during the week, and then on the weekends it’s so hot that Jake and I just laze around Blythedale/the apartment. I hope the heat wave is over for good, because I have about a million activities I want to partake in, and 113 degrees and humid puts a sweaty damper on every one of those activities.
Eh hem.
~Smorgasburg. It’s part of the Brooklyn Flea, except it’s food vendors.
~Brooklyn Flea. I’ve only been in the winter when it’s indoors.
~The Beach. I’d like to go to the Jersey Shore actually. I haven’t been since I was 17. I’ll ride the roller coasters and eat junk food and maybe do laundry. RJL.
~The High Line. I’ve actually never been at all. It’s been on my summer to-do list for the past 3 summers.
~Trapeze School. I’ve been wanting to do this ever since I saw it on Sex and the City. This is my summer to finally do it.
~Go on a bike ride. I haven’t taken my bike off the rack yet.
~Overnight trip to Montauk or Greenport.
~Picnics, maybe 2 or 3 of them. We could ride bikes and kill a few *fake* birds with one stone. (to be honest, even just the thought of killing a bird is a terrible thought, so I hate that saying and am looking for a new one that makes the same point.)
~Coney Island. I prefer to go at least once or twice each summer. Time is running out and there are things I’m putting higher on the priority list, but alls I’m sayin’ is I’m not going to be mad if Coney Island makes itself happen.
So, I’ve got to get cracking on this list and fast.
Yay, I’m excited now, I have a list to check off! This was a negative post that turned into a positive one.
Hooray!
One last thing..consider it a survival tip from me to you.
Tie your maxi dress into a knot on one side if people are describing the weather as “a Scorchah!”. It’s cute and different!

Well, this weekend I was finally able to justify the masses of camping and climbing gear that I dragged with me when I moved to New York from the Rockies. It is a good thing, too, because Reagan has threatened, on a few occasions to toss it all out. Friday night we went camping with a bunch of our good friends near Bear Mountain. I couldn’t believe how close it was to the city. The camping arrangements were NY, style. It was basically like a campground subdivision, full of various camping lots. It was a great time, though. We all had tin-foil dinners on Friday night, and stayed up late chatting around the fire.
Saturday morning, we went climbing at some routes along the train tracks, on the West Point Academy property. It was one of the hottest days of the summer, so far. I was incredibly rusty, with my climbing abilities, but I still had a blast.

Reagan and I were able to take a little road trip down south, this weekend to Virginia Beach. Some of our friends have access to a great beach house down there and invited us to tag along. For the most part, the weather was awesome. It was mid 80’s for the entire time. Sunday was a little overcast, at times, but still pleasant beach weather.
It was really cool to drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel. I saw a thing about how they built it on Modern Marvels, one time and had been curious about it ever since. I also loved watching all of the ship traffic come in and out of the bay, while we were there. We even saw an aircraft carrier on its way out to sea.
On the way home, we stopped for dinner in Delaware. When I came outside afterwards, there was a group of guys with motorcycles, in the parking lot, by our car. One of the guys had done his whole bike up in red carpet. Hahahaha. It was awesome. I snapped a couple of shots (below) and chatted it up with the riders for a few minute while I was waiting for Reagan to come out.
We had a really great time down there and were glad to become a little better acquainted with some of our friends and their families. More photos can be seen here.
