today, i went vintage shopping.  seriously, nothing is better than used clothing and used books and old mugs and pictures and things.  they're old and worn but somebody loved these things once and now it's my turn to enjoy them too... i know that sounds cheesey but that's why i love it.  and on a totally educational, nerdy, superhero note... buying used clothing means i'm making a dent in stopping human slavery. yes! what a bonus.

i bought a cool mug today from the dollar store and drank even more tea out of it.  holly painted her tea pot but i decided to just leave mine as it is... old and worn and full of hope.  holly's is all patchy, like one of those blankets gramma's sew together with all old pieces of cloth.  so adorable.

uncle made the best stir fry tonight, and we got to walk around the marina together and chat about a few things.  we also fought our way through a scary storm, and i kept wishing Clint would just be here! haha... but he wasn't... and i lived anyway.  i'll see him soon, and tomorrow i'm going to the beach.  even though things have been so fun on my mini annual getaway, i miss Clint and i wish he was here doing all these things with me.  he's my best friend!  what can i say... and we are also so aware of the fact that soon it will be september and we won't be able to do things together for a long time.  oh boy.  the worst days.
