lists

things that make me happy on a friday 
  this art. ** the magnolias are blooming on the tree out front - makes me think of hot summer nights and moonlight and perhaps stealing kisses while walking through a country graveyard.  ** lunch with a good friend and dinner with a nephew.  ** going here tomorrow.  ** a random ipod playlist ( see listed below)  ** the scent of honeysuckle in the air.  ** silly presents for my sister.  **  runaway balloons causing a bit of whimsy as i watch them visit the capital.  ** the runners with the special olympic torch passing by.  ** pink zinnias blooming outside my front door. ** these tiny earrings **


the playlist:
thank you - dido
someone like you - van morrison
emotional rescue - the rolling stones
give a little bit - the goo-goo dolls
sweet tea - cravin' melon

  15. That was a perfect list: inspiring and delightful. Here's a short one from me, for you:

    * today is the first day of summer break * Sloane spent all morning (voluntarily) helping me clean the house * Papa and Grandma are coming tomorrow * the new Oreo mint cookies * a big pile of magazines and time to read them *
