Whew! five sleeping nuggets, finally! Even though I am almost certain one will be sure to rise and whine very soon...I will still attempt to organize my life via to-do list in cursive.  i love the air I breathe when 3:20 comes, its refreshing. I love the welcome home scratches my four-legged child gives me each day, and I love the way things have really moved in my life lately. I would be lying if I said I wasn't pretty much floating through my days. And to be completely honest, I do this kind of happy damn good! I hope you have a week worth writing about!

ten years ago today so many lives were not given a chance at tomorrow. 

many different people sharing one common ending.

hug harder. 

say "i love you" every single chance you are given. 

stay in touch with your friends.

kiss your soulmate. all.the.time. 

cuddle with your kids.

throw confetti for the heck of it.

and appreciate all the little things.
 

it's been a hot minute.

oh, hey!

between the sister and myself we built our very own fire pit tonight....

AND tested it out.

(and) watched a good amount of  "stuff" set to flames.

and...... rescued a jar of pickles from the fire in fear of a few things.

AND.... we promise this is the first of many mini-bon's that will take place throughout the fall and winter for we have a mad love for fire.

burn.

baby.

burn.

love,

m

dear saturday,
This day was made for you and i.
So hold my hand and let's make some
Memories, shall we....
I know one thing for sure....
You are my favorite.

because that's my fun day.

the one rule to follow.

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — damn it, you’ve got to be kind."

-kurt vonnegut

Here's the Story of The Day:

connect the dots

resorting to connecting the dots this morning

because it was a long night 

& he needs to do something really simple 

to get started again.

----------------------------------------------------------------

and of course, i invited miss sunshine.

I hope you had a glorious weekend.
More on mine later....maybe.
but for now- I've got a farmers tan to fix from the storage units auction i attended yesterday morning.

a rap song revised.

"throw confetti through the phone"
(i hope you guys are rapping singing on beat with me)

so i have this friend.
and today is his day of birth.
so celebrate. celebrate hard core.

because everyone needs a good excuse....

to make a toast.

take a shot.

to talk about age and the importance of surviving another year....

 and more than anything....

to throw confetti through the phone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLAUDE!
You are one cool ninja.
