How are you doing this week, my dears? Well, I hope. The honey and I had a wonderful Fourth of July. What a fantastic holiday – full of fun, family and fireworks…oh how I love fireworks…and birthdays. Did I say birthdays? Why yes I did and I had one last week! It was so lovely. We had a tea party and spent time with the family. I love excuses to spend time with people I love and when cake is involved it makes it that much better. I’m flush with love and happiness right now. So here it comes, a bullet train filled with joy barreling towards you at breakneck speeds. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!
Things I Love Thursday:
The Twice As Nice Edition
* I am so in love with love lately that I’m about to overdose on it. Sick but true.
* Fireworks. Did I mention how much I love them? I really really really do. I think my honey got annoyed because I was saying “Ohhhhhhhhhh. Wow!” after every single one. What can I say…I like shiny things that go boom.
* Open Lines on Coast to Coast AM. I was listening to a rerun the other day on TuneIn (a GREAT app that saves what’s left of my sanity at work) and they had a line specifically for people who were “time travelers.” Needless to say the phone calls were highly interesting…and one was particularly compelling…he was quite convincing.
* Finding the right things at the right time. Don’t you love it when that happens? It makes life that much easier.
* “She said I was white as a sheep.” “You mean sheet.” “No, Alli. I mean sheep.”
* Having a timeline.
* Movie gaffs. Did anyone else notice that the female lead in Transformers III changed shoes about 3 or 4 times during the final scene of the movie? She jumped from black flats to black heels to a beige pair, then back to black. How did she manage to change shoes while running for her life?…and where in the world was she carrying them? Hmmmm? She had no bag! Where in the world did she carry them? I’m a bit disturbed by the possibilities.
* My completely kick-ass new Skullcandy headphones. My honey bought them for me for my birthday and I looooooooooooove them. The sound quality is amazing and they have this steampunk vibe to them…all brown and brass and beautiful… *swoon*
* New notebooks. I have amassed a massive collection of notebooks over the years…notebooks for doodling, organizing ideas and inspiration, writing…you name it, I probably have a notebook for it. And this one is all pretty and bright with flocking and foil. It’s visually yummy.
* Ballet. Yes. Ballet. You wanna make something of it?
* This photo. I can’t post it legally so you’ll just have to go look…and pass the link around. It should be shared.
And on that note I believe I shall bid you all a good day. I hope it is filled with love, joy and laughter.
Kisses & Chaos,
