Life as a Local

Halp! Ladies, halp!!!

I’m going to a wedding in August and I need a dress.  I’d like it to be cute, but comfy.  Length doesn’t matter too much… I don’t know where to buy clothes.

SEND ME SOME SUGGESTIONS!

Also, don’t send me to no $200 a dress website.  My name isn’t Amanda Moneybags for a reason.

Another random climbing video from Bishop.  My favorite part is when I top out and Brutus gets a bit confused as to where I disappeared to.

More climbing videos.  My apologies for not taking the time to clean them up or lay music to them.

This was a v0+ route on the Savannah boulder.  Super easy, but definitely one of the tallest things I’ve ever climbed.

Is it time to go back to Bishop yet?

I tried dressing nice today.  And like every other day of my life, I ended up in my green zip up by the end of it. It’s also a clear sign you should try a little harder when dressing yourself if when you do dress semi decently EVERYONE comments on how nice you look when not wearing your normal sneakers and jeans.

I just want to go home.

And at the risk of sounding dramatic, WORK IS NEVER GOING TO END EVER.

Guess who gets to ride to the gym on the back of her boyfriend’s Harley for the first time ever tonight?! THIS GIRL.

Then I’m going to try to convince him to take me to Swinger’s for some turkey meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

The first problem I ever tried in Bishop.  I knew before getting there that I would get up it no problem but finally sending it felt SO good.  It had been the itch I couldn’t scratch since the last time we were there in Feb. 2012.

It is definitely one of my favorite problems to climb: Slight Inducement, V1, The Happy Boulders.

Disney has given Brave’s main character a makeover and taken her from a relate-able role model for young girls to its normal, above-average, unrealistic image of women. With future generations already trying to live up to ridiculous body image expectations it would be nice to see Disney stick with the original character’s appearance.

If you want to try and make a difference, feel free to sign this change.org petition to keep the original character in the next movie.

EXACTLY.

Maxi dress FTW.

I’m really hoping this maxi dress trend doesn’t fade any time soon.  They’re comfortable, cute and pretty much effortless.  Not to mention they allow me to be my normal, clumsy, un-ladylike self.

It also helps that I found a super cute blue and teal strapless maxi dress from Old Navy for under $20 a few weeks ago.
