pretend vacation

finally, the weekend is here! lately i've really been wishing that i was going on a nice week long vacation this summer. preferably in hawaii.  tuesday my mom got an email from our family friends who own a house in hilo, on the big island.  they are in hawaii right now and said that we must plan a trip to hawaii to overlap with their next trip.  this just makes me want a trip even more. i'm kicking myself for not planning a real vacation.  big sur wasn't long enough, and my trip to san francisco next week won't be relaxing at all (fun, but not relaxing). so i'm just gonna pretend that this last week i was in hawaii.  so hey, check out the pictures from my trip:

in reality these pictures are from my trip to hawaii last summer with my mom, sister and boyfriend.  man, i miss hawaii.  i don't know why i never posted any photos before.  i wasn't blogging so often a year ago.  my mom said she is going to hawaii next year, i said i'm going too!  hopefully time speeds up.  

by the way - the week wasn't totally horrible, it ended on a good note.  and by that i mean i some how managed to register for pottermore beta!  it might sound weird cause i really haven't mentioned my unhealthy obsession with harry potter.  but yes, its true (see proof here). 

happy weekend!

i miss hawaii - fp may catalog favsies

ughhhh another month, another free people catalog.  this month i'm being tortured in more than the usual "i want half the catalog" way.  the may catalog was shot in hawaii, and all its making me think about is when exactly am i going back to hawaii?  can i get that planned asap?!?!  all the green jungle totally reminds me of where i stayed last summer - hilo.  its on the big island and super jungle-y.  so amazing.  i wanna go back!!!  my favorites from the may catalog
