I believe summer is officially over... sad.

I can't believe I wore a coat to work this morning. But based on principle alone, I still wore flip flops. It is dawning on me that summer is actually over. It's been a great summer, don't get me wrong, I just miss the days of relaxing by the pool, enjoying the warm weather and various other childhood summer memories. The reality is that I haven't had a summer like that since I was probably 13... but it's still good to remember.

Since work's been crazy and life's been equally crazy, I need to catch up on everyone's blogs and also actually post something that is worth reading. But in the meantime, here are some pics from my summer.

September - My friend Kristen's bachelorette party in Toronto


September - The city bonfire on my back deck

September - My tour of Wrigley Field!

August - My brother's wedding

August - Penny Celebrating my 26th Birthday!

July - My sister-in-law's bachelorette party in California

July - Where we stayed for the bachelorette party... it's the original 90210 house (Kelly Martin lived here)


May - My sister's graduation from the University of Dayton

Enjoying some wine and cheese.

I hope everyone is having a great Friday night!

Worst Case Senario: Dating

So I came across this video from a friend's gchat status and just died. It is absolutly hysterical. But at the very same time, I kinda felt bad for these guys.

I mean in 1989 (or whenever this was created) filming this was probably just as scary as signing up for a Match.com account. Both come with the high possiblity that someone you know might stumble across your profile and make fun of you.

I have never really been opposed to online dating, I just alway thought of it as a last resort. If everything I was doing: joining co-ed volleyball teams, meeeting people's friends of friends, etc., wasn't working then I was open to online dating.

I mean, one of my best friends met her soon-to-be-husband online and they're happy as could be.

Anywho, long story short, while these guys' comments are hysterical (wait for the man in the vikings costume)... there is a level of humlity attached with filling out an online dating profile or speaking to a camera in an amazing multi-colored sweater and saying: "I'd like a boy/girlfriend but I can't find one on my own. So maybe this way will work."

And as a single girl, I can sympathize.
