A post of this caliber was long over due. As I am skipping out on being at the office today, due to my lack of motivation to get up on time and my disdain for wasting beautiful days stuck inside a back office with no windows, I figured it's time to get it done.
Enjoy!

As you can see, I have been utilizing my pretty easy-going summer and my flexible job hours to have as much fun and enjoy my time not in classes as much as possible...
Going home last weekend was exactly what my spirit needed. I got lots of time in with Ty, as well as Mel & the rest of the family. Highlight of my week would definitely have to be going to Hampton with Mel, Ricker & Scotty where we enjoyed Fun-A-Rama's SkeeBall, fun prizes redeemed with tickets earned from said SkeeBall, and of course an amazing Ska show at the Casino Ballroom!
I honestly love that kind of music so much- it's like pure summer to me, and brings me back to the days of going to local shows and shows in Worcester at the Palladium with Amy and Nicole. I'd say "good ol' days," but that makes me sound so much older than I am. Ha.
Here's 2 videos from the show- the first is Big D and the Kids Table (Boston's finest ska-punks) performing one of my most favorite songs, "New England. The second is Less Than Jake (Gainsville, Florida's pride and joy) performing the fastest song they ever wrote. Sorry if the quality is lacking, I didn't take the videos- but I was there!
Good times, good times.
For now, I'm going to go nap and gear up for the midnight showing of this movie:
I'm going with Chris Evans, Alex Waldie & a few other boys I don't know.
Should be awesome!
Much love to my Alaskan bound family!
Till next time!
