I'm listening to: Devendra Banhart's new album. It's awesome if-my-life-had-a-score music.
I'm admiring: photography/lifestyle blogs, Marjane Satrapi's work (I'm reading "Embroideries" now, since I devoured "Persepolis"), and the gloriously lush green tree outside of my classroom window.
I'm craving: a big-city vacation. I follow so many New Yorkers' blogs, and I am consistently reminded how much I want to return.
I'm praying for: Josh to get the professor job for which he recently interviewed! Also, for myself to get over this sickness so that I can get back to my running schedule.
I need: a Friday night - thank goodness it's here!
I'm buying: nothing, because the most recent Real Simple magazine had a finance article that reminded me that I need to get better at budgeting.

Any fun plans for the weekend? We're going to Jackson Streets Alive tomorrow, and hopefully, I'll be running a 5k if my mucus-filled lungs can bear it.

Happiest of happy Fridays!

This Saturday, Josh and I went to the Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi. We absolutely loved it - the Delta culture, the blues, the crawfish (well, sort of - it was pretty gross breaking them open).









We walked into a museum for an old blues radio station.





 And then, of course, there was a petting zoo from which Josh had a difficult time pulling me away.






 Aaaand, we crossed eating crawfish off of the bucket list.


Naturally, Josh found a guitar store. :) Love how talented he is.

 I will always remember Delta skies. They yield the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets I've ever seen.
