I'm Back! + Festifools















...

Hi everyone!!

My blogging fell off the face of the Earth this past month, but I'm back! Do you ever have those moments where you feel like you have all the time in the world and then the next thing you know you barely have time to breathe? That's what the past few weeks have been like for me since my trip to Chicago. Between work, my math class, and house sitting, I just lost track of time! Not to mention the house I watched did not have wifi so I was able to enjoy being "unplugged" for a while.

As stressed as I had been, I really wish I had made time to keep up with Running on Coffee. This blog has become an outlet for me; when things around me feel like they're out of my control, this little webpage of mine brings me peace and something that I can direct and steer to what I want.

With that being said, I'm going to make it a goal of mine to regularly post despite the craziness that may be happening around me! I won't make any guarantees that I won't slip up, I'm only human after all ;)

These pictures above are from the past weekend. I went back to my Alma Mater for the first time since graduation (Eeek, it's almost been a year since then!) and enjoyed the "Festifools" Parade in Ann Arbor on Sunday. The parade was created by a professor from University of Michigan who taught a general education Art class. The students' final project was to create these larger than life marionette type sculptures that would be shown in a parade in Ann Arbor. The parade is only a few years old, but it has really hit the ground running judging by the number of people who were there! These are the sorts of things that make me love where I live :)

Have a great week everyone! It's good to be back :)

Midnight Madness in Kerrytown











 My best Buddha impression...sadly this was not staged.
Outfit Details: Top - Forever 21 | Skirt - J.Crew (on sale here!) | Tights: Capezio | Coat: H&M (old but loving this coat here!) | Necklace: Bauble Bar | Bag: Dooney & Bourke

 Friday night after work I met up with my parents in downtown Ann Arbor for the Midnight Madness event in Kerrytown. Kerrytown is such a cute neighborhood in the city with interesting independent shops and businesses and is home to my favorite farmer's market and the delicious Zingerman's Bakery! We had fun looking at all the items offered by different vendors and the tasty looking pastries that tempted our empty stomachs. However, we weren't anticipating how big of an event this turned out to be! You could hardly move around and were somewhat forced to move with the masses. My parents and I were a little confused why there were so many more children than you find at typical community events, but we found our answer when we were leaving...does the name Santa Claus mean anything to you? ;)
