almost there

officially less than two weeks to go. 

what?! wait wait wait. nooo. how??

I have hardly eaten enough fruit this season! There are more shiny-sweet cherries, juicy cantaloupes, fragrant white nectarines and succulent figs for me to enjoy!

I kind of like this summer thing. you know, peace, sun, family, relaxation, ridiculousness. well, ridikulousnezz is always going on in alex-land. Should I really be released upon another country?

 case in point: 

I power-washed WU this summer. 

I know. I'm quite the lucky duck(ling).

I don't own that outfit. my mom does. in fact, it was a gift. that she requested. along with a super-intense power-washer. from my father. living the life...

make sure that you see the rolled-up sleeves, gloves, goggles (!)...

what you can't see: rainboots, two pairs of gloves on underneath the waterproof gloves, a hooded shirt to keep my hair muck-free and an incredibly stylish, jealousy-inducing surfing hat that straps on. obviously my eyes are closed despite the fact that it wasn't sunny and there wasn't a flash.

  bonus.

But I have been lucky enough to take some time to practice french (and the art of relaxing) at this beautiful spot:
