Friday, June 29

from the mantle & ramblings


hello!
it's friday, friends.
which means i have more hope and excitement now than i do the rest of the week.  combined.

do you ever find that terribly sad, that we spend much of our time looking ahead, then spend the time we're excited about worried about making the most of it, worried it'll end?  sunday evenings are that way to me.

i'm hoping to fill the weekend with domestic things.  duh.
you know, rearrange things on my mantle a couple times, get the hang of using my crockpot for virtually all cooking, and weeding my little garden.  perhaps adding some plants to the collection as well (so that all my flowers in my house aren't of the dried variety).

oh and i get to visit with a new little baby boy. neat!

other things on my mind:

- tom & katie are divorcing and i can't help but wonder if it's because katie started wearing men's jeans instead of skirts.  you think this is the likely reason?  she really has been on a downward fashion spiral.

- what is the world coming to when ann curry gets fired from the today show?  pretty soon justin bieber will be on assignment from afghanistan.

- watermelon is so good!  holy crap.  and filling too, no?  wow, it's like the miracle fruit.

- why is commuting such an event?  and why do bikers never where helmets, never obey traffic rules and always have too small of jeans on?  (sorry for you bikers who read this blog, i'm likely not talking about you.  if you're a skinny hipster type who wears women's jeans, who has no real worry about staying alive, but would rather listen to your really cool iphone while weaving in rush hour, then i am, in fact, talking about you.  and if that's the case, why are you reading this blog anyway?)

- i wish i could afford to eat at good earth everyday.

- why aren't there more fabric stores out there?  i mean, joann cannot possibly be the one and only.  right?

- why does everything have to be so political?  why do campaigns last two years?  aren't we all really in the middle anyhow?

- adele is pregnant?  what?  today is an excellent pop culture day!

- why is 90 degree days generally considered beautiful?  it's so hot!  give me 65, anyday.

- pinterest is addicting.  but do you ever really return to your past pins?  or is it a hoarding thing, where we just keep adding to the pile without digesting what to keep and what not to.

- why do people still smoke?  i mean, isn't it the most obviously decision not to smoke?  and is it even a decision anymore, considering it's such common sense?
(i ask because i'm continually crossing the street to avoid it downtown.  smoking dens or whatever they're called are really, really sad looking.  as are the people in them.)

- i'd like to start a new with my clothes.  reinvent myself.  (with someone else's money!)

- watering your lawn gets really redundant, no?  can we all say #firstworldproblem?

i'll stop here.
enjoy your friday to sunday!
yay!
