slice of columbus.

wednesday night, a few friends and i headed downtown to the slice of columbus charity event for nationwide children's hospital. $10 for all you can eat pizza from over 15 different pizza places around columbus? um. yes.

it goes without saying we way overindulged. i couldn't say no to the free ice cream from Culver's'.

there is something awesome about falling asleep on the couch to the food channel on a random wednesday night with a stomach full of pizza.

taco salads. summer.

isnt this what summer is all about?

turkey taco salads, wacko summer ale, patios, friends?

yup.

i love a hot summer.

i have lots of pictures, and i will be sharing.

life of a wallet

i finally did it. i got a new wallet.

i have a specific memory of last time i was with my mom i might have passively mentioned a really needed a new one, all she really said was to that was, "yeah, you do, that's gross katie."

and it is. but i guess i had some crazy attachment to this particular wallet. i got it for my birthday when i lived in new york and was a intern at micheal kors. in the midst today, while shopping, i got to thinking about the life of this wallet.

for the past two and a half years this wallet was everywhere i was. and i have to say who i was two and a half years ago is a nearly a completely different person. i been through some significant changes and experiences, all that which have aided me into becoming who i am today.

grime from the experiences i had while actually living in the city

senior year at kent and everything we went through at that house on south lincoln

countless all nighters

3 day hauls every weekend downtown at the bars

the river

tuesdays at guacamole's, pulp, chipotle, bottles, friday mornings at the goat

that shitty little job at had at justice

the numerous trips we all took back to the city.

graduation

the last night i had in kent, sitting on the back of the uhaul my parents rent to move all my crap to my sparkly new life in columbus

everything i have had the opportunity to experience for the past year i have lived down here.

all these things are embedded into its fabric.

365 days exactly have passed since i moved to columbus. i resigned my lease to my apartment for another year and i am more than content finally being able to stand still for a while.

i did love my old wallet, but there couldn't be anything more exciting than change.

i am pleased with this gem i found at TJ's this afternoon. its cute and will stay a lot cleaner and my old one. i finally know myself well enough to some anything of light fabric is a struggle to keep clean. picking a cream canvas wallet might not have been the smarter idea for someone such as myself.

some cool pictures

i like these.

smiling all the time.

(picture by me, taken in emily and kaylas back patio)

the weather has been absolutly amazing here.

my apartment has been hot, mainly because i refuse to turn the air conditioning on. i don't know, something about sweating in your underwear make me feel alive and concious that summer is finally here.

this might change eventually considering i am on the top floor, but for now i am relishing in the sweet heat of summer.

weekend overview.

the weekend was quite lovely.

put some junk up on ebay

drinks with friends

bristol bar for birthday celebration night two

slices of pizza at late night slice on high street

too many hours in the sun with too little spf.

hot dogs, patios, and warm summer nights.

im in love with summer in columbus

thurman's

my dad, mom and brother came into town for the afternoon. after living in columbus for almost a year, i still had never been to Thurman's so it was a perfect opportunity to go!

the following pictures are truly impressive.

um, he's a champ.

columbus

on my walk to kayla and emilys thursday evening i took the rebel out and snapped some photos.

spring sample sale = success

saturday was the spring anf sample sale. i definietly made out like a bandit, and it did prompt me to go through my closet and get rid of all the clothes that i honestly no longer wear. i made a rule, if i have no worn it in the past year, it has to go.

i still have an overwhelming amount of clothes, and will most definietly always want more.

springtime in columbus, cont.

so spring here in columbus is in full force but i just got some diana film back from the first real day of spring here in columbus.

more to come.

thrifted.

i spent sunday afternoon alone driving around town, running errands, and mysteriously ending up at three different thrift stores. i really just can't help myself.

i saw this awesome way to hold rings in a little card shop in the short north and was inspired to recreate it myself.

you need is a pretty glass bowl with a stem, a bag a dry black beans, and your pretty rings.

i got my glass bowl at the village discount somewhere on cleveland avenue for $1.34.

now all i need is more pretty rings.

south drive in flea market

i love flea markets.

sunday morning em, kayla and i ventured way down high street and went to the south drive in flea market. i ended up buying 4 things, all a dollar each. gotta to love that.
