Floral Daze

My mom always says that I have "grandma style" which I'm fine with if it means that I can live in over-sized floral dresses forever. I spotted this gem on sale at Urban Outfitters & my inner 80 year old simply couldn't resist. Also, it isn't black, so I think I need a round of applause or something for finally experimenting with color.

Anyways, it's Monday again & it's hard to believe that I've been in New York for over a month now. Where has the time gone? I'm hitting the point where I'm starting to realize that at the end of the summer I'm going to have to find a real job & become a real person who does real things for compensation. I've been playing around with my resume & I'm finally starting to search for full-time positions. Scary, I know.

This week should be pretty cool though. I have Friday off for 4th of July so I decided that I would do something a little spontaneous this weekend. I mean, it's my last summer of being a free person with little to no attachment to real-life responsibilities so I booked a little weekend trip to Chicago because why not? I haven't been since like 2008 so it should be interesting to check out as an adult. Kind of nervous to go through with such a half-baked idea since I'm the queen of having a plan but that's the fun of it all, right? 

Love,

A

Mai Thai

Today (after begrudgingly being yanked out of bed) I finally got around to taking Jake to the Thai temple in Tampa. This was exciting for me because I'm part Thai & I used to go to Wat Mongkolratanaram with my family when I was little. On Sunday mornings they sell food to raise money for the temple & they offer lots of authentic Thai food, drinks & desserts for a fraction of what you would spend at a Thai restaurant. The location is gorgeous because it's right on the water, underneath tons of tall trees. As soon as we arrived, I hopped in line for some beef noodle soup ($5 per bowl) & Jake picked up some Thai iced coffee for only $1. We found a table in the shade & chatted while we ate. Afterwards, I picked up some mango sticky rice ($5) & other kinds of kanom for Jake & I to try. He was a little unsure about it at first, but I think that he eventually grew on him. 

If you are looking for a fun Sunday morning outing & want to try something new, definitely check out Wat Mongkolratanaram because it's an interesting cultural experience & a great way to taste authentic Thai cuisine on the cheap.

Love,

A
