life is busy and oh so good.

well, my goodness, it's been several weeks! i have been so busy, life is so good right now.  hopefully this week i will find the time to sit down and write about all the exciting things that have been happening! family visits, vacations - all that end of summer craziness.  until then, here's a photo from my last few weeks...
(life wondering: can you fall in love with a city the way you fall in love with a person? because i think it's happened to me.)

life lately.

it's been a pretty busy week - but when is life not busy? anyways, i'm taking a little time today to refocus by reading a book and eating some delicious cherries. and then i'll spend the rest of the weekend preparing for this final presentation... but a girl's gotta take a few minutes to relax every now and then right? that's what i'm telling myself ;)
some photos i've taken with my phone this past week...

this little used book shop was quite the little discovery. i was early to an appointment and have passed this place countless times - and my now be my favorite used and old bookstore of all time. the place is crammed with books in every place imaginable and they play good music. check it out. duttenhofer's books in clifton. 
ok, so this donut place - Holtmans - is a Cincinnati classic. if you live in Cincinnati and say you've never had Holtmans before i don't know if i believe you. and if i do believe you i also feel very sorry for you because they're delicious and amazing and sometimes i even feel like they're life-changing (but thats mainly when the sugar is kicking in). also, my favorite of theirs is the bacon maple. sounds a bit crazy, but they're my favorite. and i've maybe had six in the last twenty-four hours. i said maybe....
