London: In Photos ...
... more like 'Caity is a little busy right now so here's what she's seen in the past few weeks.'
Who actually wants to read anything I write anyways ... right?
We're all just here for the photos

It's okay Sara, I'm pretty sure London decided to name another stop 'Abbey Road'
just to mess with tourists.
REAL FUNNY GUYS.

Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair
This weekend, Heather and I made a trip over to Bethnal Green for one of our favorite pastimes..

It was a quick tube ride on the Central Line over the Bethnal Green to the Affordable Vintage Fair,
and about 2 minutes away from the station until we were at York Hall where the event was held.
The room was lined with tables of different sellers full of gorgeous goodies.

They have so many great finds - from clothing to jewelry to some great trinkets and toys.
Whether you are looking to find something to bring home or just simply browse,
it's a great place to get away for a few hours.






While Heather and I wanted to window-shop,
of course that was impossible.
We managed to grab some vintage jewelry
as well as these adorable shift dresses that I'm going to ask you not to judge if you see us wearing them every day.
How cute are they?!

Day ... and money .. well spent, I'd say.

Do I need to tell you what day it is?

Fab Four Friday
Today's a fun day.
Because we are going to talk about a song Paul wrote that was literally dedicated to marijuana.

Got To Get You Into My Life is one of my favorites off Revolver.
It's upbeat, catchy, and will definitely get stuck in your head for the day.
FUN FACTS
1. The song reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This song. Literally about marijuana.
Really though,
who writes a song about weed and it's actually GOOD?
2. John thought this was one of Paul's best songs,
and others have called it 'one of the most overlooked songs of Revolver.'
3. It has been covered by everyone
from Diana Ross & The Supremes to Joe Pesci (?) to The Four to Ella Fitzgerald
and to Earth Wind & Fire - who reached #1 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles Chart.
The album version is great, but I am partial to the Anthology version.
I love raw versions of their music, but there are also so many little additions in this recording.
From the extra backing vocals to Paul's "somehow someway" addition into the chorus
to John's cheeky little hum at the end,
I just love it so much.
But then again, I do love everything - so are you really surprised?

Where You Came From & Why You Left

So I've been around the block a bit when it comes to life.
From Chicago to New York to Ohio to Kentucky to Ohio to Massachusetts to Florida to London,
there's been more than a few places that I've spent my time.
But there are only two places that I really consider myself 'from.'
But there are only two places that I really consider myself 'from.'
I spent my childhood in a little town up in northeast Ohio called Chardon.
It was the absolute perfect place for a child.
We lived on a cul-de-sac with a group of kids,
where we would have weekly kickball games and capture the flag.

My backyard was full of forest, and it became our own little world.
I could leave the house at 9 years old and my parents wouldn't have to worry.
Then next half of my life was spent in Louisville, Kentucky.
Like Chardon, it was the perfect to be for the age that I was.
Louisville was big enough to have all the things you want as a teenager.

Louisville was big enough to have all the things you want as a teenager.
Mixers, movie theatres, and malls.
It was the type of place where your parents went to your high school,
and their parents went as well.
A literal 'born and raised' city.
Having moved there when I was 12, though, I wasn't apart of that.
I didn't have any ties to the place besides the ones that I was making on my own,
so it wasn't hard for me to leave for college in Ohio - I was used to change.
Which also made it less difficult to adjust to when my parents moved down to Florida a few years later too.
I've had places that I call home, but I don't know if I've ever felt entirely connected to a place.
Which, I think, is a reason why I was okay with leaving.
Six months felt like a long time to leave for another country,
but it wasn't scarier than the thought of staying put.
I have always felt like my life was meant to be something special - like there was always more to it.
I still feel like that.
Call it my terrible anxiety with 'settling' but I have never been a person to want to feel anything but that I am living one hell of a life.
Which is why I can't just 'let it go.' Why would I do that?
My biggest fear is to live a life of 'what if's'
so I guess there's nothing left to do about that
other than do everything I've dreamed about.
Yep - I'm okay with that.

It'ssssss Tuesday!
And you know what that means.
