Ridiculousness

The way I see it, it's good to be completely ridiculous every once in a while. There's ENTIRELY too much stuffiness in this world - sometimes, you just need some silliness.

Tomorrow morning we're having breakfast, then heading to the 10 am showing. At this point, I'm so excited, I'm not sure how I'm going to sleep.

Cozy Up

The leaves are all shades of yellow, the heater is always blowing, and I'm rarely out of my favorite pair of red sweats unless I have to be. This fall is definitely going to be a cozy one.

Number 4

Can be crossed off the list.

I got the idea from Gretchen Rubin over at The Happiness Project - one sentence a day, everyday - and I love, love, love it.

Not only is it easy to find the time to do, but I have a feeling I'm going to have lots of fun reading over each sentence in the years to come. In fact, I love it so much, I'm letting it count for number 24 on the first list.

A Good Tuesday

A late start this morning and a trip to Burger King for my very own crown (New Moon, of course). A busy day and a late dinner. A few episodes of Weeds. Then, Sons of Anarchy. A glass of wine and a few sugar cookies. Then, a glass of milk.

Today was a good Tuesday. Here's hoping for an even better Wednesday.

Number 19

Can be crossed off the list. Finally. Seriously, this one was a long time coming.

Mason got me the above piece of art - hand painted by his cousin-in-law - for Valentine's day two years ago. Yes, I said TWO YEARS ago, and for reasons I can't quite figure out - laziness perhaps? - I never got it framed, hence the spot on my birthday list and my trip to the frame store this past weekend.

Now, it hangs, where it should have been all along, and I smile every time I see it.

Hello Friday

Friday afternoon, I'm so very happy to see you.

This weekend I'm looking forward to:

Getting a massage (courtesy of my amazingly thoughtful boyfriend)
Watching some WSU football
Hanging out on the pier
Possibly cooking something of Molly's
Doing a little Christmas shopping
Taking a nap (or two)

Enjoy it, my friends.

Heavenly

Sometimes the day just gets away from you - that's my excuse for yesterday - and pretty much everyday of my life for the past two months.

I long for a slow-down, a calm-down of some kind. I wish for quiet, creative moments and days that have a beginning, middle and end with time for planning and enjoying and being thankful. These days, I'd take anything - anything at all - over the hurry, hurry, hurry that has become my normal.

I know that slow can get boring, but when you haven't had it in a while, it seems heavenly.
