this changes everything oh my god

do you understand why it trips me out that people can drive 45 minutes and be in aNOTHER COUNTRY?

I drive for 45 minutes and im like

a city over 

I live in “Italy” and took a day trip to go to “Austria” and “Germany”

 #it is literally impossible to leave texas #you will be in texas #FOREVER

You guys Y’all, this is my life now. I cannot even tell you how weird it has been to go from crossing the border every single day, or to be able to be three states away in just over an hour, to not crossing a state border for almost a year.

Everywhere I go is just…TEXAS.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Spotted today @ Sprouts

Another rainy Austin day. It’s absolutely lovely ♥

Tonight I learned that my social awkwardness radiates off me in waves.

Or rather, that dogs make the very best ice breakers. I’m babysitting my boss’ dog for the weekend, and she’s the very perfect combination of tiny and fluffy without being mean or overly yappy. She’s a real sweetheart who misses her human like you would not believe and I don’t have to tell you how adorable it is that he’s completely crazy about her too. Seriously.

So I took Abby-dabby-doo* out for a walk tonight around most of the apartment complex, where I’ve lived for four months now, and on our way back to my place we ran into a girl in the hallway. She stopped, put her phone conversation on hold, held out her hand and with a big smile said, “Hi, I’m M and I live upstairs from y’all.” It was the longest conversation I’d ever had with a neighbor.

In fact, it was the only verbal interaction I’ve had with any human being that lives here. Ever.

In spite of the fact that for months now I’ve smiled, said “Hi”, and generally tried to be as open and approachable as possible, it seems that the real key this whole time was just to have an adorable fuzzball on a leash. Think my boss would mind if I kept her?

Austin @ night

Yup.

I talked to my mom today and it was hotter in Maine than it was in the middle of Texas.

And I laughed, and it was a haughty laugh.

Of course I won’t be laughing when it’s July and I’M DYING.
