Look at these!

While I am very thankful that I finally got to the optometrist last semester, my new-ish Costco glasses hurt my ears.

And they're sorta bedazzled on the sides...

I tried to cut the glimmer with various combinations of paint pens and Sharpies. 

But alas, they shimmer on...

So I found this place - Warby Parker

All of their frames are $95, and that includes your prescription and shipping!

There is a virtual "Try-on" tool on the site - It's really legit - surprisingly realistic. Not like those "make me over", "try on this hairstyle" sites that are significantly less than accurate,

 and make you look like a character from the mind of Jim Henson.

And if that's not good enough for you, they'll send you 5 frames to try on at home. So you can show your Mom, Brother, Boyfriend, goldfish etc. 

The 5 that I would choose?

The Zagg

The Finn

The Morrison

The Colton

aaaand 

The Webb

Oh if only I had the funds... Someday Warby Parker, Someday.

Until classes start for the last time...

I will be:

Playing

Reading

Watching

And mentally preparing for my last semester as an undergraduate. Did you hear that? Last Semester. Yes, Lord willing I will be graduating come May.

122 days.... But who's counting?

I miss it already.

I just had the most amazing experience.

In ENGLAND,

The Lake District

Lancaster

and The Isle of Man

I made some wonderful new friends,

and spent long awaited time with old ones. 

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking,

no matter where we went,

it was incredibly stunning.

I miss it so much, and I can't wait to go back.

Loving this right now

Sums up a lot of how I feel about Camp and my summers there. 

No matter what the summers have brought, experiences both good and bad, the memories of that place and the rivers and waters there will always be fond.

What's Making Me Happy This Week.

Pop Culture Happy Hour

I've been listening to the podcasts while I run, and people in my neighborhood/along the road I run down probably think I'm crazy, because i'm constantly grinning and laughing despite running moderately long distances. 

 They discuss everything from Lady Gaga to Fall TV to Zombies, and their childhood fears. It's great. They also have regular features to the show like "What's Making Us Happy This Week" (thus the name of the post) - which is pretty self explanatory and yet wildly entertaining. And the "Regrettable Television Pop Quiz" in which they play clips from truly awful television and try to guess the show it's from.

So what's making me happy this week (besides this entertaining and often intellectual[ish] podcast)?

My new running kicks!

Now I don't feel like I need a knee replacement after every run!

And Starbucks Peppermint Mocha - The obvious king of all holiday drinks.

So delicious!
