the stuff of my life.

life lately.

happily sleep deprived (that first part could change really soon though)
food and movies
lakes and canoes and docks
mixing patterns in my clothes
busier than i thought i would be
procrastination
basketball with cubscouts
hugs
hanging on every word of yesterday's sermon
best fourth of july ever
remembering how to be a student (online class, hoorah)
garage sale success (knee-high stack of books for $1? ummm thank you!!)

thoughts & quotes.

"and that's how it was with us.  give and take.  but mostly give."
 --some wise words on friendship from Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants

"in the midst of winter, i found there was, within me, an invincible summer. and that makes me happy..."
--Albert Camus. (i know it's the height of summer right now, but i find i'm more whimsical, spontaneous, bright and bold in the summer time. i eat happier food. i wear less makeup. i air dry my hair. and i want to be like that in the midst of winter too.)
