Saugatuk


Two weekends ago I went to Saugatuk, MI with a group of girls, and it was glorious. I had never been there, and we stayed at a cute little bed and breakfast on the water. The weekend consisted of AMAZING weather, delicious food, drinking, and friends. I think it would be amazing to go there in the fall. There were so many cute shops and restaurants. We went on a ferry ride out to Lake Michigan. I was really grateful to have been part of the group! Of course, here are some of my favorite pictures:

Thinking...

There's a reason my blog is called "random thoughts". Sometimes I think people would think I'm crazy because of how much day dreaming I do on a daily basis. For instance, whenever I drive by a pool and see the lifeguards, I remember of what a good life I had as a teenager. Lifeguarding was the best job EVER. Killer tan, minimal effort (don't worry, I was paying attention to your dumbass kid who kept dunking people), and my favorite, A LOT of thinking time. What else was there to do up in that chair but do some major thinking?

I wish I had worn more SPF instead of tanning oil (idiot).

It's So Damn Hot

Okay, summer is my least favorite season. I'm putting that out there. Soak it up. Most people think I'm crazy for not liking summer, but after lifeguarding for 5 summers growing up, it's ruined it for me. It's humid, muggy, and just overwhelming. Summers were fun when I was a kid, with ZERO responsibilities and playing all day. Now, I'm just waiting for it to be fall (coincidentally my FAVORITE season).

Everytime I get on here, I apologize for not keeping up with the blog. But cut me some freaking slack. Weekends yield my only down time, and I find Saturdays to be a blur and Sundays filled with cleaning and preparing for the week ahead. Right now I'm blogging in between cleaning rooms.

I've had a pretty uneventful summer. I haven't done much traveling, but the next 2 months I'll be going to quite a few places. I haven't seen my friend Liz since my birthday!! We are both super busy with work, and she works for Chase so she works on Saturdays half the time. I'm hoping to get up there in August when it calms down a bit. Next weekend I'll be going to Saugatuk, MI with a group of girls for some much needed R & R. I've never been, and I'm really excited. I took off Friday and we're leaving in the morning. Then the weekend after that I'll be heading to Milwaukee with my friend Kris to see our friend Gavin. I've also never been to Milwaukee, but Gavin tells me it's awesome in the summer. I'm REALLY hoping to go to Leinenkugel Brewery...we'll see about that.

August looks to be a relatively calm month (personally). Work couldn't be any more crazy. The next couple of weeks will be extremely hectic. One of my bosses is in Buenos Aires this week and the week after that my other boss will be in Paris for the week. We also have some of our consultants traveling to Warsaw and Moscow (those are firsts for us). In September I'll be heading to Raleigh, NC to see my friend Jess, as well as go to a Kings of Leon concert out there! Never seen them in concert, so that will be exciting! A lot of firsts for me in the coming weeks and months!
