pregnant with summer

this blog post is sponsored by kate fulton, who also wrote a blog post during work. hers was life-changing, this one will surely not be. 

there is a little bit of a thrill to doing non-work-related things at work. the adrenaline rush of someone walking behind you and quickly changing your screen. 

you may be wondering about this title. a weird one, i know. i think the phrase pregnant with ___ is so funny. it's a phrase that i read in a book, and it stuck with me because of how odd it was, and how much it was used, but i can't remember which book it was.  it could have been Wuthering Heights or the Bible, I could not tell you. 

as i'm writing this, someone else in the office is talking about when they were conceived. fantastic timing. 

i have nothing important to say, so here are some odds and ends and here and theres. 

my vibe for this summer 

frye boots

i need a pair of Frye boot (dupes) BADLY. obviously, i'm not spending $500 on a pair of shoes, but i think they're so cute. i need my style to be upgraded this fall. i am going to be the queen of fall fits on campus, but it's going to take a little work. last year, unfortunately i fell into a uniform of crewneck, jeans, and reeboks everyday of the week. this was cute and is a solid look, but i predict skirts in my future. i'm also on the hunt for the perfect denim skirt. my other one is too big now, and i need one that is mini enough to be cute, but also keeps everything inside. PLEASE contact me with any recommendations. 

the beach

i love the beach more than anything. i miss being in high school and working 15 hours a week and spending the rest of my time at the beach. i don't understand people who live on this side of michigan, under an hour away from Lake michigan, and never go. what do you do with yourself all summer?

lorde

new lorde album rocks but is lowkey very depressing. my top 5 songs are current affairs, favorite daughter, hammer, and broken glass, and shapeshifter. i think i still like solar power a little bit more though (gasp) and melodrama will always be #1. 

music

funny that this section follows lorde, but why can't i find any good music to listen to these days. i think the only times i really listen to music right now are when im driving and at the gym (because working out in silence is genuinely sociopathic behavior). i'm so incredibly bored of every song and every artist. i am very comfortable with the silence now, and i enjoy it, which is ultimately good. at the same time, i wish listening to music didn't make me want to bash my head into a wall. 

that's going to be all for now -- this office is excruciatingly hot and boring. i'm taking my sweet time because i have eight hours to kill, and my tasks will take me about three, and then i have another day tomorrow.
