the holland tunnel takes you straight to grown up summer camp but the waynes world soundtrack got us there..

thanks to a day19 invitation we bopped out to lake hopatcong for jeremy's dad's 2nd annual beer fest.
gotta say, i love these guys for showing me my first jersey lake experience since girl scout camp (in what might have been 1990)..
highlights included: a personal car ferry. homemade kahlua. galpal dock time. a soggy sunday morning. the dreamteam jersey diner brunch. a speedy nj transit bus ride.
+only a little drama..sprained knees, a tent switcheroo, projectile blackberry gin to name but a few.
we had a blast.

though it's the same address, it always feels different.

i've found somebody better than you.

dear lovely lumix,
i'm afraid we've grown apart and i'm going to take this opportunity to thank you for all you've given me. i can't even count all the ways you've helped me grow+taught me to share. but sometimes you don't realize what your missing until you find something new...
so while you've been so good to me, i'm afraid we're just going in different directions+i just don't think we work well together anymore. i'm sorry, this may seem like it came out of left field but i had to come clean-i've been thinking about someone else. i thank you for all the fond memories+i will always have a place on my shelf for you.
besitos,
louise

dear canon G11,
i love you. i can't wait to share our lives together. i know we've just met but i think we've really got somethin here. i can't deny it. we have a lot of learn from each other+i don't expect it to be easy at first-enmeshing our lives as it were, but i have deep faith that we will soon get on the same page. i look forward to sharing my future with you.
with the utmost admiration of your sunflare capabilities,
xlouise

+thank you thank you thank you mumsa for my new baby!!

old school bitches brew.

here's just a sliver of last nights shenanigans with two of my high school bestE's, mariana+gayatri. (this one was taken at the tail-end of our union pool situation)
man, so much awesome, tacos, dance hall boogie bro down, a union st sweep+a little dick chicken on the way home.
love you gals.

we were caught up in some magic and couldn't make it back until fridy.

we did everything there was to do..made the train, hit an orchard, seriously nailed it at the thrift stores (might have to do a post about that later), lunch with dad, drinks with a high school bestE, mad luck with radical radio play, drove around with the top down, stayed up later than intended, indulged in whiskey tumblers+slid across the floor in our socks, listened to crickets, found petticoats+basically all dreams fulfilled.
