weightless

i feel as if a weight
has been lifted off me,
my ribs expand
i can breathe again

i inhale the release
summer brings
long days
sunshine shadows on the pavement
slushies and freezies and waffle cones dripping
down the length of my arm
and the
sweet smell of clover
and fresh cut hay
on my morning commute.

i can breathe again.

summer lovin'

sweet summer heat
and a silent house...
this week has been a bit crazy
with a happy canada day
complete with fireworks
and a lost {and happily found & returned} i-phone
and sparklers catching our beach blanket aflame
{just a little, but enough to totally freak me out}
the rest of the weekend
spent napping
and de-cluttering
and attempting to placate a dog with hurt feelings
about the new kitten that has taken up residence
in his house
{and is allowed to go upstairs, where he has never been allowed}

i sit here now
at the tail end of a sunny sunday
wishing the weekend could be just little longer
wanting to savor it just a little bit more,
to wrap up the remnants like an all day sucker
to put in my pocket and save for days
like mondays...

empty

lonely friday nights
spent wondering if i was wrong
to want
time
to myself...
now that i have it
i no longer know what to do with it...
dark house
meaningless tv droning in the background
my breath heavy
my footsteps echo

kamikaze

my head is spinning
in all kinds of directions...
work, money, lack of money
bills, writing,
time
lack of time
connections
goals
walking
exercise
sunshine...running on empty
not enough sleep
trying to catch up on the shows i've missed
need a new cd to go in the new car...
photography...upcoming weddings...engagement photos next week
baby photos tonight
have to put the last family's photos on a disc and deliver
don't forget to charge the battery again
whose turn is it for dishes
what time do i have to pick up 11?
why are these jeans so tight...
yoga...breathing...slow it down...meditate
have to pay that fine
why are there never any groceries in this house
has it been that long since i wrote a blog post
broken lawnmower
last week of school
need a barbeque
where
do
i
start...
deep breaths...deep breaths...deep breaths

saturday seven

7 things that caught my eye
made me gasp
smile
covet
made me wish i knew how to play a guitar
made me want to grab a pen...
made my mouth water
and my heart beast fast...

1.  gorgeous red shoes how could not be happy in these shoes!

2.  a blog that i have read for a long time, but i wanted to mention her again today...
because her wring and photography never fails to blow my mind!

3.  and she also led me to number three...where i was mesmerized by her hands...

4.  i can't wait to see this movie...even though george has never been a favorite of mine...but...i'm fickle.

5.  and maybe i should make these to eat while watching the movie...mmmmm...caution..clicking on link will cause excessive mouth watering.

6.  how could you not looooooooove this?  the fact the one i clicked on was from say anything was the clincher...the second thing was that it involved many lego men...i'm hooked

7.  and finally...my newest addiction...i know you have probably already seen this but i have been hooked in a major bad intravenous DT kinda way...so felt the need to share...and hook others...

and that's my saturday seven...hoping to be a regular feature here in geekland...should i ever get organized...here's to hoping.
