This was not taken today….
today is not a blue sky
sunshine-y white cloud Friday.

It is gray and cold and windy
with a constant threat of rain
but small moments where
the sun breaks through
and I bolt outside
in my pjs and ginormous bathrobe type sweater
and bunny slippers
scared that I will miss it.

It is a friday that I should be using
to clean the house,
to pay my bills,
to make to do lists that I
probably won’t do
because by the time
I have done creating them
with indexes and color coding
and fancy doodles,
the sun will have come back out
and I will be gone looking for
adventure
that does not involve checking
anything off a to do list….
unless it’s various flavors of ice cream to try.

Anyway, with that in mind,
I bring you today’s list:

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE WITH:

♥ me and a bestie are going here to see them again Tuesday night!! :)
Andy Maize and Aaron Comeau of the Skydiggers come together for a special night of music at the Trailside.

♥ Ummm. Did someone say Space Treats? Like…astronaut food? Yes please!
I desperately want to try the freeze dried ice cream sandwich :)

♥ I want this in my life. I don’t need it. But I want it. :)

♥ Jinkies! Look at this!!!

♥ this post….

♥a chance to see a whole lotta people that
I haven’t seen in a whole lot of a long time for a summer BBQ.
It’s hard to explain how happy that made me.

i have not been here in a while...
weddings are in full swing,
work is busy,
the weather is too nice to be inside...
there are books i want to read,
music i want to listen to,
naps i want to take.

a four day weekend that went by in a blur
silly group selfies, family bbqs and fireworks,
sharing a bag of popcorn
and cold cans of pop in a darkened car
while we waited for showtime to start.

wedding on saturday...
beautiful day and a bride and groom so sweet,
their vows made me tear up
along with many others watching.

and then lots of time to work on the bullet journal
and finish up the instagram challenge that
i was late for
#doodlewithusinjune
and even got caught up on
the inner excavation book
i am doing a read-a-long on...

monday was a drive to the trails in bonshaw,
super-perfect doughnuts from the blue goose...
getting a little lost in the woods
and a bit of an irrational adrenaline rush fear
that a pack of wild dogs
might get me...
a racing heart,
a couple of dirt roads,
a snack while sitting on big rocks by a river barefeet in the sun.
