12 oz. can purchased in the greater Washington D.C. area, unknown birth date, poured into a Rogue chalice, drank 4/3/13 over one hour.
A: 4.25 - pretty golden coloration, minimal clarity consistent with style, really nice white two finger head that resolves into a creamy-appearing 1/4 head for the remainder of the session, small bubbles pouring off the bottom of the glass throughout, minimal alcohol legs
S: 4.25 - lots and lots of lemon/curacao orange peel, spice, coriander...pulling out lots of classic Belgian aroma
T: 4.25 - drinks like a saison instead of a Belgian pale ale to me (good thing...), no detectable hop flavors or bitterness; again, lots of lemon, young citrus and spice on the taste buds, some candy sugar on the back end
M: 4.5 - again, I'm really digging the creaminess, which lingers on the upper lip, tight carbonation, moderate body that is appropriate to style
O: 4.5 - although I'm not crazy about the generally non-committal "Belgian pale ale," definitely approachable and refreshing, especially as the temperature warms in the greater D.C. area; although not their best offering, this is a solid flagship beer from my favorite local brewery...Prosit!

i almost wonder if this beer was made for me because "the citizen" would be a great way to describe me considering i am a true citizen of the world traveling and living all over the place slopping up beer every where i go
pours out a nice hazy apricot but the head is a real unexpected cream soda color. not what i was expecting but looks tasty!
and tasty it was, it did also have a cream soda taste. now i don't know if that's because i thought it looked like cream soda, but it had a nice vanilla and spice flavor too
overall i like this beer a lot and i am glad to see DC brau getting more and more distribution here in the capitol area, they deserve it imho

Got this as a free sample from the boss, score! Serving it chilled. Poured this one in my Maudite tulip. Deep golden color with a nice white head. Smells of the tell tale clove, banana, biscuit, pear. Taste had a great tartness that really appealed to me. It was smooth and really drinkable. Notes of tart cherries, biscuit, yeast, and grass.

Multiple samples straight from the brewery and from a growler. Served into a tulip glass.
A: Hazy golden yellow/orange colored body with a rich, fluffy and sticky white head. The retention is really nice, leaving a cap behind and some sticky lacing on the walls. Certainly unfiltered in its looks.
S: Belgian yeast, pale malts, mild white pepper, Belgian-like spice, and a quite assertive hop spice with a touch of bitterness. It smells like a cross between a classic Tripel and something more along the lines of a regular Belgian Pale Ale. The classification seems muddled though.
T: Lots of unripe banana, pepper, caramel and pale malts, touch of sweetness and some tamed bitterness midway. The back of the palate brings an evident yeast characteristics along with some classic Belgian spice. It's really a unique and quite tasty beer.
M: Nicely carbonated, not overdone with a great creamy mouth feel to it. There's a bit of stickiness but it's not left lingering long after.
Of all their beers I sampled that day (every single one on tap), this was by far my favorite of them all. Perhaps it's my love for Belgian Tripels which this comes dangerously close to mimicking, but this is a nicely crafted Belgian Ale... in a can!

My cousin, Colby Chandler, specialty brewer at Ballast Point, got this for me while sharing a booth with the brewers during SAVOR 2012. It's nice to have relatives and even nicer when they know my fondness for CANned beers in support of The CANQuest (TM).
From the CAN: "Citizen Facts [:] In 1963, the citizens of Washington DC won th right tovote for the president and vice-president of the United States with the ratification of the 23rd Amendment to the Constitution."; "Please recycle - pack in, pack out". "Serve in a tulip, gobelt or enjoy from the [CAN]".
The Crack revealed another well-filled craft CAN as well as another beer anxious to get out from its surroundings, foaming up as soon as its CAN was cracked open. I allowed things to settle back down before employing a very gentle Glug so as not to disturb any lees. This still resulted in two fingers of foamy French Vanilla-colored head with decent retention. Nose was both fruity and musty, both yeast-driven and I was reminded of Juicyfruit gum along with a mustiness of old newspapers. Color was an oh-so-slightly hazy golden yellow with lots of CO2 bubbles in evidence. Mouthfeel was full, kind of spritzy from the massive carbonation and the taste was immediately fruity, followed by a mustiness, and then a twang of grassy hops. The finish was dry, smooth, tasty and before I realized it, I had CANsumed easily half of it! At 7.0% ABV, that is something to bear in mind. This might be a dangerous beer to take to the beach ...

Pale and cloudy yellow body with a contrasting stark white head. No lacing.
Banana, clove, and grassy smells. Heavy fruity esters.
Over ripe banana, cloves, herbal and grassy hops, and a peppery spice finish.
Clean mouthfeel, crisp, prickly carbonation.
Overall, I thought it was a very nice beer. Refreshing, nice flavor, and very drinkable.

Hello parents and players. The time has come to register for the coming season. Deadline for early registration (reduced fee) is Aug 1st. Spaces on some levels are limited and places are on a first come first serve basis.
L'assemblée générale annuelle de l'Association Régionale de Ringuette de Montréal
18 May, 2014
L'assemblée générale annuelle de l'Association Régionale de Ringuette de Montréal ( ARRM ) will take place on Wednesday, May 28th, at 19h00, at 8110, St-Michel ( corner Jarry ), Montréal. Meeting time has been scanned so that it doesn't compete with one of the Habs hockey games in Round 3 of the NHL playoffs.
ARRM is the body that acts as an intermediate between the City of Montréal and the local associations such as NDG Ringuette and MER, and it is through its existence that the locals enjoy such conditions as free ice for games and low practice rates. Without it, we couldn't have access to the arenas to play our sport.
This is the reason why we'll need at least 1 to 2 persons per team to show up at the assembly, which will be closely monitored by the City. The main reason is that we're competing with the other ice sports - hockey, speed skating, figure skating - foe every hour of ice allocated to ringuette, and every sport has to show it's healthy and deserving of the ice allocated.

It's one of the landmarks along Route 66 and now you can own a piece of it.
Located in an old abandoned swimming hole, the Blue Whale in Catoosa has opened a souvenir and concession stand.
For more than thirty years, thousands of tourists have stopped to learn a little more about the unusual big blue attraction. Even "Time Magazine" featured it as among the Top 50 Roadside Attractions in America.
Now visitors have something to show for their adventure says Curator Blaine Davis.
"We do have old vintage postcards, new post cards, blue whale bottled water and Christmas ornaments."
The souvenir shop is only opened weekends through October 17th. The hours from noon to six.
Visitors from 34- states and 18 foreign countries have enjoyed the Blue Whale this year.

This post is written in honor of my birthday today! What an exciting time, beginning a brand-new year of life. I hope to live it to the fullest
I'm going on an adventure!
~Bilbo Baggins, The Hobbit
So, remember that one time (January 1st :D) when I got my word for 2014? It was simple: Live.
In the time that's elapsed this year, I've been working & reflecting more… writing less… spending more time with people… and less time trying to fit life into a mold. I've been observing the world around me, to see it for what it really is (apart from my voice). It's an interesting journey to take as you embark on your 30′s and a necessary one for me.
We learn a lot in silence. We discover that the world keeps rotating without our every opinion, experience, & feeling time-stamped & recorded. We observe people & human nature in their more honest forms. We hear what those around us are actually saying (& make room for the Lord's voice, too). We also find fewer reasons to apologize (thank God) and relish the present more.
In short, we begin living more fully
There's a joke that goes, If I didn't put it on Instagram, did it even happen??
This was the small, fishbowl kinda world I wanted to retreat from, just for awhile. To gain some perspective, maybe. To realize not that many people needed to know about my every move (or me about theirs). To gather my thoughts (without the interjection of everyone else's) and to observe for awhile. To learn & grow in my pursuits without as many interruptions. It's been such a lovely & surprising relief.
Since then, a new spark has kindled in my heart, one that the Lord relit this January. It was as if He breathed on me & said Live, child. I'll take care of the rest.
So I'm beginning to.
This word has been resonating within me this year, growing louder each passing month. And a cool experience has been happening: my heart is reopening to possibilities, to new opportunities, to dreams laid to rest too soon.
It's as if He's saying, It's time to live again!
When I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you in your blood, 'Live!' I said to you in your blood, 'Live!' I made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall and arrived at full adornment… [then] I made My vow to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord God, and you became Mine.
In 2014, I've been going on new adventures and it has been glorious! And in times to come, I'm gonna go on more exciting adventures. It has me on the edge of my seat. I can hardly wait for what the Lord is inviting me into!
As with any destination, we never know the twists & turns, dips & peaks we'll encounter or who we'll meet along the way. We aren't even sure who we'll see in the mirror at the end of them, but all in all, I'd say it's time for some adventure in my life! I believe God is holding the pen, and I hear Him saying… We're going on a new adventure!
You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So… get on your way!
~Dr. Seuss

The Teletubbies have packed their bags and are heading for Russia.
The children's TV show featuring four brightly colored creatures who speak like babies will soon debut in Russia much to the anticipation of hundreds of thousands of children there, Reuters reports.
Word is that the state broadcaster RTR has purchased all 365 episodes of the Teletubbies from BBC Worldwide. The Teletubbies debuted in England three years ago and to date have grossed more than $143 million, mostly in merchandising.
The show has been a hit in every country it's been aired.
AN ANGELIC PRICE: ABC is moving into the business of angels, "Charlie's Angels" that is. The network has coughed up more than $35 million to land the TV rights to the blockbuster film starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Bidding for the film was fierce, according to reports, between cable companies and other networks vying for the rights.
SHEEN DISSES BUSH: TV president Martin Sheen pulled out all the stops before a group at a California treatment center where he said that he thinks Texas Gov. George W. Bush is a "white-knuckle drunk," The Associated Press reports. Bush was arrested in 1976 for driving under the influence but never received counseling for his infraction -- something which Sheen, an admitted substance abuser, says is essential.
Bush, however, says he quit alcohol at age 40.

Town real estate purchase scrutinized
Urban renewal authority buys Parker Water building
A decision by town leaders to purchase land in downtown Parker and resell it to a buyer of their choosing has raised questions about the appropriate use of taxpayer money.
The Town of Parker announced March 27 that the Parker Authority for Reinvestment, an entity created by town council in 2006 to eliminate blight and revitalize the downtown area, approved a resolution to acquire the Parker Water and Sanitation District headquarters on the northeast corner of Mainstreet and Victorian Drive.
The water district is consolidating administrative operations into its facility near E-470 and South Parker Road. The headquarters building was once used as the Parker Library.
The resolution, which passed unanimously during a meeting March 17, enables PAR to buy the building and the acre of land on which it sits for $865,000, plus closing costs. But a handful of Parker residents see a potential conflict of interest because town council doubles as the Parker Authority for Reinvestment's board of directors, and the majority of council members work in downtown Parker.
"If you look at these people, where they're located and where they're buying property, it doesn't pass the smell test," said John Sutherland, who lives in Canterberry Crossing. "It appears that the town is getting into the land speculation and development business."
Sutherland pointed out that Mayor Mike Waid's office is directly across the street from the site and Councilmember Joshua Rivero owns a coffee shop two blocks away. Because town council appointed itself as the urban renewal board, it's like the "fox watching the henhouse," he said.
Urban renewal districts use tax-increment financing to address dilapidation and deterioration and make improvements to business facades and infrastructure. The value of property within the district is documented. That base value is then compared to future property assessments, and the urban renewal district collects a portion of property tax revenues generated by the incremental increases in valuation.
The mission of PAR is to "encourage investment and reinvestment within targeted areas of the community in an effort to enhance and preserve the town's vitality." The town's news release, issued after PAR's approval of the deal, characterized the Parker Water property as a "prime" site.
"A primary purpose in the creation of the Parker Central Area Urban renewal district was to facilitate redevelopment of underutilized sites," it said. "PAR can facilitate private sector redevelopment of the property consistent with community vision and current East Mainstreet development trends."
Purchase within the guidelines
Waid, who serves as chairman of the PAR board, said the acquisition does not violate any laws or deviate from the guidelines that govern authority actions. He dismissed assertions that members of council stand to gain financially or otherwise from the deal.
Parker resident Dave Usechek, who served in public office for six years prior to moving to town, said he opposes having town council serve in two capacities and said there is "enough talent in Parker" to avoid overlapping interests.
"I feel the council has tunnel vision on their goals and having a separate board may provide newer ideas to sustain the downtown concept," Usechek said.
Usechek is not against the purchase of the PWSD building and land, but said PAR should have an interested buyer before spending taxpayer money. Other residents are applauding the move as a step in the right direction.
"I am for it," said Todd Hendreks, an active member of the community. "If they can help bridge the gaps to (the) PACE (Center)… all the better. We need more hang-out spots in Parker."
While PAR markets the property for redevelopment, the building will be leased on an interim basis to provide offices for the town's economic development department and associated functions to "create a one-stop business assistance office," the town's news release says.
Waid said the purchase is viewed as an "opportunity to potentially add more value to the downtown district by helping to cultivate development." When asked why government intervention in real estate is preferred to the whims of the free market, Waid said there is concern that the land could be developed in a manner inconsistent with the vision for downtown.
Sutherland said town council already has final say on what is built because it determines zoning, but Councilmember Josh Martin said development of the property is a "use by right," meaning if a submitted project is within the zoning guidelines, elected officials cannot deny the application. Buying the land — much like the town did with Pine Curve, 24 acres of vacant land across from town hall — gives leaders more decision-making power.
"We don't view it as picking winners and losers. We view it as looking out for the best interest of the town as a whole," Waid said.
The site, which Martin said is "underutilized," is ideal for vertical mixed-use development, similar to the Parker Station building across the street.
No announcement prior to approval
Aside from the legal requirement to post the PAR meeting agenda on the Town of Parker website and outside the front entrance of town hall, there was no announcement about the purchase prior to approval. Waid said the town did not give more notice because "this wasn't viewed by anyone as something that would potentially be controversial."
But any large financial transaction should be open to public scrutiny, said Sutherland, who opposed Parker's decision last year to add a $2 million expenditure to the 2013 budget to buy land across from town hall. It was later announced that a new Parker Library would be built on the land.
"If they're going to start buying up property, they need to have a plan and tell everybody they're going to do it," he said. "It needs to be well-publicized."
While he appreciates the mayor's enthusiasm in building up the downtown district, Parker resident Steve Gruenler said "spending tax dollars on purchasing or building non-core essential projects is a waste of resources."
In the past, South Metro Fire Rescue Authority Chief Dan Qualman has vehemently opposed the districts because he says taxpayer money is diverted away from emergency services and into the pockets of developers and business owners. He was not available for comment.
The Parker Water deal is the first purchase of property by PAR, which previously spent funds on upgrades to businesses and infrastructure. Martin said the closing is scheduled for August. It is likely that the existing 6,700-square-foot building will be demolished after the economic development department moves out.
I find this very disturbing. Our city should not be into real estate speculation. This building, while older, is not an eyesore. PAR was created to eliminate blight. I personally want downtown Parker to grow, but not with my tax money at risk.
Was this property ever put up for sale by the current owner? Is this even a fair market price? If it really is a "prime" site, wouldn't Parker Water want to receive as much money as possible?

Finally a for-profit business that has more in mind than profiting for itself. TOMS SHOES is a "One for One movement" aimed at providing shoes to children in need in Argentina & Africa. For every pair you purchase a pair is given away. Not only is it an amazing contribution but TOMS makes some cool shoes. From vegan to wrap boots, they have something for you. Check them out next time you need a new pair of shoes. Your literally taking a step in the right direction. Following is the more detailed description of TOMS from their web page.
TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about.
In 2006 an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers.
Since our beginning, TOMS has given over 140,000* pairs of shoes to children in need through the One for One model. Because of your support, TOMS plans to give over 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world in 2009.
Our ongoing community events and Shoe Drop Tours allow TOMS supporters and enthusiasts to be part of our One for One movement. Join us.
Most children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or just getting around, these children are at risk.
Walking is often the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Children can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Wearing shoes literally enables them to walk distances that aren't possible barefoot.
Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation.
Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.
There is one simple solution...SHOES.
Of the planet's six billion people, four billion live in conditions inconceivable to many. Lets take a step towards a better tomorrow.
Check out the ones I just ordered. They are made of 35% hemp + 65% post-consumer plastic bottles, with a recycled rubber sole & faux suede insole. Pretty nifty.

Towson dropped two Colonial Athletic Association games over the weekend, losing to the UNC Wilmington Seahawks 3-0 on Friday and to the College of Charleston Cougars, 3-1, on Sunday. The team was without a few players, including sophomore Haley Pa'akaula, which was a factor in both losses. "We only traveled 12 girls, so that made things more difficult for us," Head Coach Don Metil said. "[Pa'akaula] just came off of being CAA Player of the Week, but was hurt and didn't travel with us. It threw our dynamic off a bit because we had to play people at different positions." In the match against the Seahawks (16-8, […] Read the full story »

"As far as the timing, the win was absolutely necessary for us. It keeps our goal alive for us to get into the tournament," Head Coach Don Metil said. "I don't know if it was the best win of the season, but it was definitely one of […] Read the full story »

Front desk staff not very friendly and standoffish. Refrigerator did not work, only freezer was cold. Hotel room was clean but had an odor.
Nice tidy room. Great location. Close restruant
No black out curtains & no freezer section in fridge
If you go to Washington we recommend this hotel . It is well located with quick links to tourist areas (5 minutes by subway) is clean, the staff friendly and supportive. The hotel offers free parking and free wi-fi. It is possible to dine in the hotel's vicinity with good prices.
Sometimes wi-fi created some delays
Rooms are OK and clean.
The hotel is on quite old. In the interim hallways dirty carpet. No ice machine, Swimming pool not clean.
Close to the centre of Arlington. We could walk to Arlington Cemetery, Georgetown and Washington. Close to Public Transit.
Nothing in particular.
the location was very convenient for going into Arlington or DC. The room was average for the price but the bed was very comfortable as well as the chair provided. It was very quiet in our room so we slept great every night. Parking garage was very helpful and the restaurant was very good.
Would have been nice to have a continental breakfast but we knew it didn't at booking.
Quite a good location near Arlington Cemetery and Georgetown, although it was a long walk to the National Mall. Room was basically clean. Good value restaurant as part of the hotel.
Quite a noisy place. Our room was a bit tatty and in need of a facelift - it was more like a motel than a hotel. There was no breakfast included. Compared to a hotel we stayed in in New York this was not very good value.
room was nice, printer is available
it was difficult to find it for the first time
We were looking for a hotel that offers free parking so that we can commute to DC using the metro. We did not care about breakfast or luxury of the rooms. This hotel was perfect for our needs.
The refrigerator was very noisy and we had problems for sleeping.
Hotel was ideal location for our trip- easy access to downtown. The complementary coffee was the best. 9
Was disappointed with the pizza from Ledo. Not as good as claimed.
Free parking and location
The environment was clean and inviting
Staff was courteous and helpful, room was clean and housekeeping did a great job each day, comfortable beds, wifi wasn't super fast, but we stayed connected! Close to metro, good price.
Pool was old--glass roof had a lot of leaves and branches covering it. Some desk staff were friendly and helpful, others were not very knowledgeble.
The location was good. The room was a good size. It was very good value for money.
It would have been helpful to have breakfast included.
It is not as expensive as comparative hotels in DC. Staff was very friendly and helpful.Close to Metro station (4 blocks) so can commute to Dc, there is also bus to airport (at bus station).
in general was fine, though, you should consider adding complimentary continental breakfast.
Hotel is clean and bed comfortable. Not far away to rossylyn metro station (15 min to Capitol Hill), free parking available. If you need clean and economic place to visit Washington it is place for you.
The location was good and you can access to downtown easily by metro within 15 minutes or so. The room was a good size, clean, and wifi connection was good. A fridge and a microwave in a room were convenient. 24 hours tea and coffee service was good.
There were no restaurants (except attached to the hotel) nearby. It was in a residential area, but we knew it in advance and it was not a problem for me, but might bother some others.
The location is great, close to metro that is very easy to use. Easy to get to Georgetown Close to resturants for walking
Needs updating Very noisy. Every night we had something or someone that was loud..didn't sleep the best!
The beds were very comfortable. The room as clean. It was a good stay.
It was all good.
I enjoyed that they had complimentary parking and a large pool. The staff answer any questions we had about the area and childern stay free.
No breakfast
Moderately priced with an excellent location so you can park for free and walk to DC or Georgetown if you are feeling energetic, or take the metro.
Location 2 queen beds, even they are more like full size beds.
Very noise air conditioner, like a Boeing 787 taking off constantly. No way to sleep with the noise. Wifi never worked, staff was not helpful in wifi issue. Not even a breakfast included. Very Pricy! Beds were said queen sizes, but they are smaller than real queen sizes.
Location is close to Rosslyn Metro (a 10 minute walk). Then 10 minutes by metro to the National Mall, very convenient. Next to the hotel is a Ledo's Pizza that also serves delicious breakfast.
No breakfast included, wi-fi rather slow and unstable.

Is that opportunity knocking?
That's what the more than 1,500 job seekers are hoping after attending the 16th Annual Black Hills Job Fair at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City on Wednesday.
More than 85 employers from around the region offered jobs in everything from healthcare and construction to retail and customer service.
Employers targeted college students, active and military reserve, as well as retired workers looking to get back into the workforce.
Black Hills Job Fair Chairman, Curt Lauinger said the candidate pool continues to improve each year. He said it could be in response to a tighter job market.
"It's a sign that maybe there's more competition for people to find good workers. I think it's more of a challenge to find highly skilled, qualified, motivated people," Lauinger said.
Amber Has No Horse of Rapid City, who is looking for a life change, was excited to see the possibilities offered at the Black Hills Job Fair.
"I've been stuck in housekeeping, fast food and I barely got my foot in retail," Has No Horse said.

Based on the novel "Vile bodies" by Evelyn Waugh.

this is the seamy view of the apparently carefree society preoccupied with gossip and play, which comes to a screeching halt with the advent of war.
A wonderful film adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies. Terrific cast, energetically directed by Stephen Fry.
Not as funny as I'd expect from good old Stephen Fry, but a jolly enjoyable film nonetheless. Nicely acted by the ensemble cast, especially Michael Sheen, Fenella Woolgar, and David Tennant. Lots of colour, action (motor car races!), and snappy dialogue to differentiate the movie from the familiar British period film/novel adaptation. Sometimes feels too abrupt, and I had to put the subtitles on during all the party scenes as it's difficult to hear over the din.

Historians in battle to safeguard Catholic archivestags: Catholic Church, Scotland, archives, Edinburgh
A GROUP of leading academics is calling on the Scottish Government to intervene in a controversy over the Catholic Archives in Edinburgh.
Historians Professor Dauvit Broun, Professor Thomas Owen Clancy, Dr Jenny Wormald, and Professor Ewen Cameron have already attempted to force the issue on the Parliament's Public Petitions Committee, calling for the Church to reverse plans to split the archives, dating back to Mary, Queen of Scots, and move on claims they are deteriorating.
Although the committee has responded claiming the bid was outside its remit, it has advised those behind it to enrol the support of sympathetic politicians if they want a debate on the issue in Parliament....

Friday Five: We All Bleed Blue, Caffeine Needs and More
Waking up is never easy, but after last night's TRIPLE OT winner – there really is not enough coffee in the world. Alas, it's been a good week and will be an even better weekend.
1. #WeAllBleedBlue:
I can't lay claim to staying awake the entire second overtime (Andy woke me up for snoring with about five minutes left) or not sleeping through the intermission, however, thanks to an overly loud Vine video, I woke up seconds before this moment.
2. Bachelorette Party Weekend
Tomorrow is my bachelorette party! While Andy had his fun at the lake a few weeks ago, it's my time to celebrate. I can't wait to see what the girls have in store for me, and I'm so excited to finally check out Ballpark Village! Plus, look at these shoes. Is their anything more fun to wear?
3. Revenge
I started watching Revenge on Netflix last summer at the gym – I wasn't consistent, but it gave me reason to stay on the elliptical longer. With Chromecast and a little extra time, I've become a binge watcher, and am a few episodes into Season 2. I'm kind of obsessed, and Emily should go ahead and lend me her wardrobe.
4. Coffee
Okay – I've NEVER been a coffee drinker, but ever since Andy & I got a coffee maker for my bridal shower, it's been game over. I'm not sure I can function in the AM without it anymore.
5. Sleep
Because there is no such thing as enough.
