pizza night

 

Those little grape tomatoes are my new favorite.

Wouldn't it be nice ...

If teleportation were real.
If bugs didn't eat the plants in our garden.
If people smiled more.
If people complained less.
If we could bottle our favorite moments in time and glance back at them later in life.
If ice-cream was good for us.
If I was at the pool right now.
If I wasn't at work right now.

This will be my weekend & it will be splendid.

My only real plan for the weekend is to sleep in late, start a new book, float around in the pool or lake, maybe catch a yoga class, and sip on icey drinks.  This is one of only a few weekends this summer (past or future) that we don't have any obligations.  I love that summer crams in as many fun activities as possible, but sometimes it's nice to just stop and hear yourself breathe.  And to turn that effing alarm clock off.  I hope your weekends are splendid as well.

happy bastille day

I hope by now you have seen this awesomeness, but just in case you haven't here are a couple of my favorite examples of Paris versus New York.

Let's go ahead and move taking a trip to Paris further up on my list of things to do.

Hurray for celebrating France today.  And New York everyday.  Au revoir!

  

P.S. I am making croque madame tonight.  It can't be that difficult, right?

popsicles & prosecco

These are going to happen in my life.

happy birthday to me.

(and thanks for the cake pops sissy!)

Lake time with BFF

I love the Fourth of July, but I especially loved this one because BFF was in town from New York.  We're still about as silly and giggly as we were in kindergarten.
