wednesday night.

right now:

i cannot believe that my computer says wednesday 7/28/2010. what happened to monday and tuesday?

i also realized i am almost 20 10 and i have spelled wednesday wensday my whole life.

i am eating farrs cherry chocolate chip ice cream.

my dinner dishes are done and its barely seven pm. who rocks the house...lets say the knights..

i wonder why jr. high school cheers are always running in my brain, and sometimes i say them without thinking.....

i am excited to work on my hallowe'en project tonight....

i keep thinking of the thought that we might be moving too: washington, boston, missouri, or south carolina. we are keeping our fingers crossed. for any one of these.

how i love this cloudy summer night, and i hope for a good thunderstorm.

happy happy wensday night!

miracles, and a lovely photo.

"As for me, I know nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,
Or stand under the trees in the woods,
Or talk by day with any one I love,
Or sleep in bed at night with any one I love,
Or watch honey bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon...
Or the wonderfulness of the sundown,
Or of stars shining so quiet and bright,
Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring...
What stranger miracles are there?"
- Walt Whitman

happy happy friday!

so summer. rodeos. food. moving on.

i love this photo of pioneer womans. fireworks lighting up the summer dark night sky....

i love this metal screen door. it reminds me of old summer days when i was little...

i just like this photo, black ballet flats are always classic. and yellow is my favorite clothing color choice lately.

i will never have a pantry like this. ever. how do you keep the expiration dates....but it is beautiful.

last night we went to a the rodeo. it was fantastic. i love rodeos, i love seeing rodeo trailers, cowboys, cowgirls, i love the patriotism.

we took bella and jo jo, and it was crazy, we fed them dinner before we left, as too save money. we ended up buying two pieces of pizza, scones, and a snow cone. :)

bdogs said he felt like he didn't even watch the rodeo, he was so busy with the girls.

i hope they enjoyed it.

this marks are last big summer festivity. and it is almost august. you know what that means...back to school, although this year is the first year ever, it is back to school for nobody.

we hope this means bdogs will get a job of his dreams....we are ready to move forward.

keep your fingers crossed.

summer 2010.

my sister is in town. it has been a blast.

she took me to the movie eclipse. and screamed and yelled with delight when jacob appeared. she's the best!

we even went to lagoon. and i screamed on the swings. i hated them so much.

bdogs and i packed a lunch that made everyone jealous. it was awesome.

i went shopping with one of my bestest gal pals. and she picked her son out a small paul zip up hoodie that i am still thinking about.

at night bdogs and i take our cruisers out for rides. mine looks like the photos below, but is colbalt blue. and did i mention totally awesome? it has a butterfly carved into the seat.

did i mention i love summer?

i have had an ice cream cone everyday this week.

some lovely photos. and a quote or two.

"the true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life." ~willliam morris

" if i were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, i should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, and the house allows one to dream in peace."

~gaston bachelard

a love song. a good happy one. a summer happy love song.

a song i love, so turn up your volume and sing...

Alabama, Arkansas
I do love my ma and pa
Not that way that I do love you


Holy moley, me oh my
You're the apple of my eye
Girl, I've never loved one like you


Man, oh man, you're my best friend
I scream it to the nothingness
There ain't nothing that I need.......

chorus:

Ah, home
Let me go home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Ah, home
Let me go home
Home is wherever I'm with you...........

i love love songs.

i love that i have someone to think about when i sing them.
