Where I've Been...

So this blogging thing is tough to keep up with - my whole "i'm going to write about everyday EVERY.SINGLE.DAY." has now seemed to turn into "i'm going to write about one small detail in great length every 3 or 4 weeks." oops. I swear I've been busy and not just sitting around the Bachelorette and So You Think You Can Dance (well, at least not on Tuesday, Friday or the weekend)...

Anyways, to catch you up, I thought I'd give a little Montage O' the Life of Marissa in pictures, somewhat brief and definitely not detailed...but, you'll get the point. It's been a busy, hot summer in NYC and elsewhere...and I'm loving it. Enjoy...
