you CAN make friends with salad

i just had the pleasure of spending the long weekend, camping up north with 16 virtual strangers who now feel like old friends. I tagged along on a friend's annual camping trip and came home feeling so 'filled with fun' that I was glowing (and not just from the three days spent outdoors drinking in the cancerous rays).

At 29 the thought of barreling into new friendships seemed odd. I thought i had my lifelines set - and for the most part i'm sure that's true, but i'm excited to think that there is also a world of new connections just waiting to be made. In a year that has been spent being stuck in the past, panicked in the present and unsure of the future, it was a much needed dose of hope and inspiration.

now if i could just get the dirt that seems to be tattooed onto the bottom of my feet off I would be complaint free.
