It’s official.
I’m exhausted!
I started the day at about 5:10 a.m. when I awoke with a start for no apparent reason, and could not get back to sleep, even though I didn’t have to be awake until 6! I embraced it, got up, showered, and headed out to my first camp meeting of the summer. I gave a lesson to the counselors about how to take good pictures (of people, not food!) and then distributed this year’s camp t-shirt to all the counselors. You’ll see plenty of pictures of me in said camp shirt throughout the summer! The camp meeting was scheduled to go until 3 p.m. Lo and behold, we were done at 11 a.m.! A friend and I headed to Whole Foods for lunch (HUGE shout out to my hot bar lover, Miss GC!) and then I decided to treat myself to a manicure and some mild shopping.
Sorry for the lousy picture, but the light stinks right now… but in case you can’t tell, my nails have a pink sparkly tip on them! There’s actually pieces of seashell in the acrylic they used:
When I got home, Adam and I headed out for dinner at our favorite sushi place, Daruma (yes, I was out THAT long!) to meet with my friend Wendy who will be making our wedding invitations! No decisions were made other than that the color I’d originally thought was the right one for the invites is indeed, not right. Oh well, we’ll meet again in a few weeks!
We started with goma-ae, a steamed spinach salad with peanut sesame dressing in 2 colors.
Mmmm…. Sushi is my all-time favorite. Avocado rolls are one of my most serious weaknesses.

Don’t ever feel like you need to comment on my blog. I know you are blog stalking me no matter what
We should go get manicures when you come visit! You have such flair! I only ever get the french manicure, and I don’t think I’ve gotten one in about a year and a half.
Kids are exhausting, no?
