1. i decided that there were two thing i was going to do this summer once a week.
a. bake something new. (i have absolutely no baking skills)
b. read a book from my shelf. i buy book like nobody's business. then, they sit. for.YEARS.
this week i baked and read. this week was a win. seriously, i even went to the gym. TWICE. ha!
2. this weeks reading choice was the notebook by nicholas sparks. he's my fave. i've read most of his books. somehow i'd never read this one. i mean, i've seen the movie hundreds of times because, favorite. AND who doesn't love Ryan Gossling as Noah Calhoun? all that to say, the book got me wishing for simpler times where people weren't so connected electronically and more connected in the flesh. the above picture screams SIMPLE to me. for a while i enforced "NO ELECTRONICS SUNDAYS" it is the sabbath after all and our electronic connections need a rest too. but the fight got tiring and i let it go. i feel like it's time to bring it back. i've got my armor on and i'm ready.
3. my momma is getting married in T-minus 8 days. we couldn't be more excited for her. for more on that click here.
4. as i was driving my eldest to summer school this morning, (he's taking PE to get it out of the way and make room for an extra class in his schedule) we were talking about drivers licenses. he'll be getting his in 8 months. >insert ugly cry here< and i realized i have been a driver for 18 years. how in the H did that happen? time is a chump you guys, TIME.IS.A.CHUMP.
5. my birthday is this week. sigh. i want this pinterest board to come to life in my back yard in a bad way. i'm so impatient sometimes. i want it now. but you know, things take time. for starts my handy hunk of a husband is going to build me a pair of these. this is on my honey do list next.
happy weekend lovelies.
