The Lake and other things

Sorry I have not blogged for a few days- I was sucked into the Lost world. Really. My phone is broken, I have not been on Skype or fb chat or ashamedly many other places than on my bed watching Lost for the past two or three days.


Last night when the final was on I was still catching up on the last few episodes so I literally would check fb with a hand over the screen, seeing if I had any notifications and then exiting out (I didn't want to accidentally see any spoilers)

So I just finished watching the last episode. And yes I cried. That had to be one of the best stories (let alone shows) that I have ever heard/seen. You get so emotionally attached to the characters. What an ending. It wasn't even disappointing. It's just sorta like you knew that was what needed to happen.


Anyways- I don't even know if any of you watch Lost- so I will talk about something you can understand!

Partying!

Went to my friend's lake house (if you thought the last party was in the country- this one was an hour long drive out into the country... literally you are on like 6 different long, country roads for an hour getting out to this place). There the whole gang from Cedar Ridge got together and had a pretty good time, I would say!

Lake Mayo!

It's always really great going back home and seeing all of my friends from home. Not everyone was there- but that's okay, there will be more lake gatherings in the future.

Key aspects of a lake house party

1. Log cabin

This should give you an idea of where we were.

2. porch sitting
3. camp fire (over which hotdogs were cooked)
4. bunk beds
5. morning trip to Bojangles (20 minutes away. Yes- it took us 20 minutes to get back to somewhere that was even close to somewhere)
6. boat outing (duh- why go to a lake if you don't use the boat)
7. fishing on said boat

Look! It's me fishing!

8. Usually there are jet ski's and tubing involved but it was cold this weekend
9. There is also usually tanning but see activities 5 and 8 for why we were not willing to put on bathing suits.
10. A damn-good time


Side note: Once again the girl-guy ratio is significantly improved once I go home- 10 guys to 4 girls.

Anyways, so that was Friday and Saturday! Don't know quiet what I will be up to this week- but whatever it is I hope it is fun!

Until then,
Cara

Rainy Days

One of my all time favorite things is a rainy summer day. I must admit, I can be a pretty big homebody sometimes. So yes, I secretly love days in which I can sit in my bed all day and not feel a bit of guilt for not being out and about.

Today is one of those days, and fortunately this whole week will be! Why fortunately? Because I need to recharge my batteries. I really haven't been able to sit down since I got home a week ago. This semester was not the most stressful, but probably one of the least restful. So I will gladly take a week of Lost episodes, reading and blogging to my hearts content.

I didn't even have to leave my bed to take these pictures...

Can you see the rain?

Some of my favorite reading material over the summer is Vogue Italia. Love it. I started reading it last summer to practice my Italian skills and I think that it really helped this year!

Here is this month's issue...

These babies are not cheap either. $15 in stores. Whoo!

One more thing before I go! My image boards are starting to pop up on the Southern Weddings blog! Exciting! I am having such at great time interning with them so far! Three hours everyday fly by!
Anywho, here are some links to my image boards! I didn't write the actual text, that credit can be given to Katharine Waterman.
Post 1 and post 2 are about this adorable couple Merrie and Simon!

Alright, well I am am going to get back to Lost! I hope y'all are having a relaxing day as well!

Until then,
Cara
