1. How can it be June 11th!? As in, we’re almost halfway through the year? I guess I should check in with those 2013 aspirations soon…
2. I have a bottle of Bacardi in my freezer. Why? Well, raspberry mojitos were totally necessary last Saturday. $12 rum for mojitos all summer — deal.
3. In eight days, I’ll be eight times three — jolly gee! It doesn’t seem long ago that I turned 21 and ordered my first raspberry mojito… the rest was history (see #2).
4. Caprese pasta sounded like a great idea, until I confirmed – yet again – that fresh mozzarella just ain’t my thing.
5. I’m gym-less — gasp! No CrossFit box, no running… this looks scarier than it actually is, I promise. Injuries have the right of way.
6. I have a bag of stollen apricots in my freezer and one dozen more ripening on my counter. Sorry, I’m not sorry — an abandoned apricot tree can’t get past me and my boss. #eatlocal
7. I totally skipped May’s Tuesday Tidbits. Oh bother.
8. I kinda sorta maybe have a musical crush on Eli Young Band.
9. Breakfasts this week include Zucchini Almond Meal Muffins… and, by the way, I will never “be Paleo.”
10. I’d say the boyfriend is pretty spoiled: Summery Salmon with Apricot Peach Salsa & Honey Basil Walnut-Crusted Salmon.
It’s a busy week for me… hope to “see you” soon :)

twirl to country tunes. the best friend and i just purchased concert tickets to see Luke Bryan / Florida Georgia Line / Thompson Sqaure. can’t wait for august 8th!
get crafty. whether it’s canning jars of fresh strawberry jam, creating a colorful paint chip calendar, or making fun fridge magnets, i want to let my creative juices free with a craft project.
devour a book. i’d like to start (and finish!) a book… and not a cookbook ;) something light and uplifting. have any recommendations?
hit the mat. yoga — it’s a life changer… when you practice regularly. whether it’s a formal class or an impromptu “stop and breathe” session in my living room, i hope to spend more time on my yoga mat this summer getting bending and, more notably, getting out of my head.
slather up with SPF. i am the queen of awkward sunburns. i’ve given up on the fact that my skin will never be blessed with that ideal bronze tan. i’ve spent too much time trying and the results are measly to the underlying damage i’m causing on my fair, freckled skin. sunscreen and hats are where it’s at!
run a 10K {pain-free}. it doesn’t matter if it’s a casual sunday run through the park, or at a formal race, but i will be one happy girl if i am able to run 6.2 miles with strong, healthy, pain-free knees. i have my eyes on the Summer Sizzler on august 10. must heal asap!
make a splash! whether it be in the creek, the lake, or the ocean, i’d like to dive into nature’s cool pools and unleash my inner water dog.
