surreality

Maybe it's not a word, but it perfectly describes things lately.

Summer is perfect - the best feeling in the world - and here's why...

quadruple take

I decided to sleep in and relax this morning (first time in a long time!) and I came across this photo as I was meandering around the blogosphere...

For a minute or two I thought someone had taken a creeper picture of me on this camping trip last year:

It really weirded me out for a second, but I talked some sense into myself and have determined (for the most part) that the girl in the picture is not me. There's lots of other tiny brunettes in the world who lay out on the beach under rainbow-colored umbrellas. Right?

the american dream

On the 4th of July, it involves lots of sun, a BBQ (preferably by the pool so you can wear a swimsuit all day), then a drive out to the coast for a fireworks show. Plus lots of classic rock, and then watching Independence Day with Will Smith. I really do like being American; I can't deny it. Especially on days like today.

muchas gracias

I can't get over how cute these thank you notes are! I'm sending them to the parents of my graduated second graders. Hopefully the cuteness will keep me from tearing up as I write.
