I had made plans to go into Boston with my best friend, but since the timing and weather were iffy, we opted to drive into JP and coffeeshop/bar-hop. I spent the morning on a shopping spree with my mother, so I basically have an entirely new fall wardrobe. Since my birthday fell on a Wednesday this year, I didn’t get to celebrate until Friday. On the night of my birthday, my dad showed up at my place with a guitar! I now officially own a guitar! I grew up surrounded by them, and learned at a young age, but never had one to call my own. I will definitely be doing my Bachelorette party there! It was so great to kick off my birthday week with such a creative, interactive experience. I was glad that my coworker (above right) was able to make it to the event, so we could have an unofficial department photo taken. Perhaps when it’s hung and our walls are painted, I’ll sneak it into a picture. It’s in my house now, but it feels vain and strange to take a pic of a painting that I did just to share on social media. The above is the only known photo of my painting.
PATRIOTS PLACE MUSE BAR PROFESSIONAL
We of course didn’t drink, because it was a professional excursion, but the experience was an absolute blast! I didn’t think I could paint to save my life but my painting actually came out pretty cool! The owner of my store even asked me if I was an artist…oh, the flattery! #TeamAccessories (I’m wearing: top/ Free People, skirt/ Urban Outfitters, sandals/ Seychelles) The concept: an artist gives you a step-by-step tutorial and you paint a masterpiece while sipping drinks. The night before my birthday, my work sponsored an outing to Muse Paintbar at Patriot Place. It’s the official entrance into the “mid-20s”, I suppose, but I still can’t rent a car in every state, so it’s underwhelming at best. This past week I turned 24, which is kind of a boring birthday. Greetings! Things have been absolutely insane in my corner of the universe lately. A failed photo to represent my failure at blogging for the past…two weeks.
