Latta Love..

Sunshine is a very very powerful thing!.. It takes complete control of my body.. MAKES me run outside + frolic in all of its glory..

After slathering on a good coat of SPF 30 (I think I missed the tops of my ears.. grrr grrrr..) I headed out to Latta Park to relax + make a little vitamin D..

HINT!!–Do NOT PUT THE CORK IN ALL OF THE WAY LIKE PHOTOED BELOW.. it builds too much pressure..

I put mine in 3/4 of the way + it will keep the bubbles for 3 to 5 days!!

This is me right before I fell asleep only to be awoken by a dog named Jane.. I decided to move the party indoors!!..

I love David Sedaris! Have you read any Augusten Burroughs? He is my favorite of all time!

Honestly,I like the NP! It is pretty unique though!! I’m pretty jeal of your afternoon –mine was spent studying and getting angry with the winter storm watch we’ve been put under. Can I move to NC now?!

What a peaceful and relaxing little picnic. I need to make more time for myself to do things like that. I loved your little snack idea too,and those little pitas are so fun to eat.

I hope you have a wonderful week…now I am going to take your example and sometime this week seek out a nice little patch of grass and go study in the sun. Thanks!
