-i can't even tell you how much i want to open my window and blast my voice through the courtyard about how much i love 'half price books'. you heard me...i love them! the best way i can explain it is they are the thrift store version of barnes and noble. plus {!}, they offer a clearance section of many popular books for one dollar. $1!! eek! it's my new happy place in my new town. if you can't find me, i will be in the back corner of the kid's section, sitting on the floor, coffee in hand, flipping through one adventure after another. while the girls happily play in the adorable little playhouse sitting in the middle of, what's better known as, 'half pint books'. it's too cute for words really. and it's all within reach...this could get ugly *wink.
-it was a little strange to see a "follow us on facebook and twitter" sign on the side of a gas station car wash...and why would i want to 'follow' you? that may be taking the whole internet networking a bit far, huh?
-one of the stop signs in our local target parking lot read, "STOP circumcising babies!" umm...k? weird? yeah, just a little bit.
-i just had one of the most carefree days in a long {very long} time. i adore hanging out with my girls - like, a lot. i also enjoy hanging out with...well, me. i also find a huge amount of comfort in not being sick {funny, right?}. and a girl's night is like rejuvenating my adult soul, reminding me i can have intellectual conversations with people my age. mix all of that together - no wee ones all morning for 4 hours, me time {may or may not have included shopping}, being germ free, and smartical {it's a 'me' word} convo with friends {a.k.a. girl's night; a.k.a. more me time} - you get a pretty rockin' day. oh, and in the middle of one pretty sweet day, you throw in a couple hours of family time at the zoo = complete. and though these kind of days are rare, i am thankful they are just that...rare. because truth be told, my average kind of days filled with family tend to be the happiest ones of all {and i know for a fact i don't want to hang out with just me on a regular basis - kinda boring}.
-i'm reminding myself to carry my simple blessings of today with me throughout our weekend. because our weekends? aren't so 'typical'...friday is like our monday with a one-day-sort-of-weekend thrown in the middle of a mushed together week. here's to living joyfully in the midst of this season!
