Living according to the calendar year has me a little thrown off. My mental clock is set for another semester of school and a built-in social schedule surrounded by all of my friends; but, it will soon find that the structure of a work week punctuated by weekends is here to stay.
I'm not complaining. I'm just adjusting to managing my many blessings on this schedule, like these six things:

Post-grad perks include learning to play hostess, which I did with snacks and sparkly beverages for a homey happy hour with Caroline and Alexandra.
 |
on the menu: Greek salad with orange vinaigrette, grilled Halloumi & zucchini // homemade flatbread with grilled chicken & tzatziki sauce // honey-glazed figs & frozen yogurt |
Learning to cook makes the list too, so I eagerly accepted Nicole's invitation to join her at this
Sur la Table Greak Greek Cooking class.

a foot's happy medium between heels and sandals |
My mad search for
a pair of flatforms came to an end just in time to sport them for the final days of summer.

All credit for discovering the best, fluffiest carton of vanilla ice cream stocked on the supermarket's shelves goes to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew McConn.
Remember

renters, which I hope to soon be!
