Just got back from North Carolina!

Since it's Honesty Hour right now, I'm going to come out and say that I've been insanely forgetful, and not really in the mood for blogging for the last month or so. But I did go on vacation to North Carolina for two weeks on July 31st, and I just got back yesterday. 

To make up for my disappointing lack of posting, I'm going to tell you about my trip...and the fact that I've been so non-caught-up on Stardoll matters. Hopefully more posts about that will go up soon. Anyway, I went to a couple universities to check them out, (three more years!) and then we walked around downtown Asheville, and repeated this for a few days, seeing as we were rained upon several times during our little expedition. Seriously though, downtown Asheville was full of unwashed hippies and 1960's re-treads, but all the stores and restaurants were surprisingly trendy and I was impressed with the variety of food choices down there. 
We also saw a local farmer's market, which was really interesting. Mom got her brisket rub, and the bottle remained intact in our suitcase and arrived home safe and sound. Anyway, we went to a bunch of "dead people's houses" as I like to call the grand estates owned by deceased billionaires, ahem, Mr. Vanderbilt. 

We were drawn to a few more attractions before we had to leave, but I made sure to check out a few lovely vintage antique shops and some quaint little craft stores during our trip. I picked up tons of vintage goodies and boheme-looking accessories. 

It was mainly a big shopping trip, to be honest. And I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, which I did. So now that I'm back in the industrially lovely New York, I can't wait to just chill out and relish the rest of the fleeting summer.
