I am NOT loving these weeks that pass within a single breath, leaving me wondering where all the time went! But I AM loving…
reading Mockingjay out loud with my guy Wood Sprite dubbing the cats’ thoughts out loud like little voice bubbles in comic books
going to the ball game with my family, and seeing an actual winning game!
free Six Flags tickets, books, Magic House coupons, and tons of other summer reading program fun
long phone conversations with far away friends
catching up on Supernatural
summer tea and lemonade
traffic bonuses! (Keep reading, folks, I appreciate it!)
fun stickers, like orange owls and sparkly skull-and-crossbones
free movies AND free popcorn at the theater!
paying off bills and getting the car taxes/licensing done; now if only we could keep everything on the plus side…
the cicadas are almost gone!
The Beyonders by Brandon Mull (I’m only a few chapters in); also having Septimus Heap: Darke on my shelf waiting to be read!
Mr. Sara’s new amazing garlic-and-balsamic vinaigrette, which can be used on anything
summer slushies
so many free summer activities, from the library to museums to craft store events
people getting together to help people in Joplin
contemplating new haircuts…
blaring Adele in the car
Wood Sprite’s new habit of decorating her room with anything from her artwork to receipts…
the fact that Blue is still alive after River captured her, took off with her, and tried to eat her! Connie and I were thankfully able to save the little mouse just in time!
making my guy a Father’s Day breakfast that he actually liked, prompting me to admit that I may not be as bad a cook as I profess to be…
Tuck’s clean, shiny tank–which she seems to be getting to big for
casting people for Catching Fire; so far we like Natalie Portman for Johanna Mason and Jensen Ackles for Finnick Odair
Wood Sprite’s bookworm-dom, which now rivals my own (almost)
continually anticipating next year’s huge fairy tale movie lineup AND fairy tale TV shows
our amazing IDEA water containers, which are coming in handy every day this summer
gorgeous 60s and 70s weather in the mornings
I absolutely love this new insurance commercial, but do guys feel offended by it?
