(belated) weekend

A lot went wrong this weekend.

We ran late to our senior formal so we didn't eat dinner like we'd planned. I lost my lens cap. Our parking garage closed before we could get our car. We were stranded on Sutter and Polk (not the best area) at 3am.

And while it's easy for me to focus on what went wrong, there are a lot of things that went right.

1. I have a brother-in-law who is still awake at 3am.
2. My mom gave me a set of mismatched teacups for my birthday.
3. Raine and I had a mango picnic in their backyard.
4. I think that red lipstick suits me (thanks, sister).

It's the little things.

  13. Ashley- This was at the Regency Center on Van Ness!

    Maddy- Yesssss! I actually got them a few weeks ago and they looked weird so it took me a while to get comfortable with them... hahaha

    CB- You're totally right. I just ordered a new lens cap last night and the red lipstick was a good pick-me-up :)

    Thanks for the love, guys!
