Week Re-Cap

After this picnic I kinda want to throw more...

Hump Day!!! It has been such a nice couple of weeks — last week was summer drink week (here, here, here, here, here) so we're recapping quite a bit. There's lots of food in this post, as always, and all of it was great. The roomie and I went to a male strip show and that was...hilarious. They were such good performers and I think I laughed the entire time at the absurdity of it but still, it was such a great night. In other things, I've been doing a lot of exploring by myself and with my friend Jessica. And I've been reading a ton, which I love! Jess and I went to Georgetown and some of northern Denver on what we call "Vacation" days (aka Sundays where we have free time). They've been so nice to just get out of town and explore things that are close to home but that I don't normally have time for. What have y'all been up to? - xoxo darling, Hayden

Ugh, this is making me hungry.
