June, Currently
17 Jun 2013
Priming some wood canvases for painting.
Preparing to celebrate our anniversary this week. Crying already as I think about all the things I want to say to Eric on that special day.
Catching up on Project Life, One Little Word, and our Istanbul scrapbook. My craft table, it’s very crowded these days.
Looking forward to a little weekend getaway in Big Bear.
Enjoying being home, making messes, and having more project ideas than I do time.
Feeling so grateful for weekends–a chance to unwind and spend lots of quality time together. Mostly laughing.
Eating tons of fruit, gigantic leeks and huge bulbs of fennel, and making smoothies out of spinach and carrots and fruit and nuts and seeds. So far, pretty awesome.
Watching the new episodes of Arrested Development, and really loving some of them. Ron Howard has seriously outdone himself in terms of narrative structure, and it’s blowing my mind. Tarantino’s got nothing on this.
Reading a motley collection of books by Jesuits and Dostoevsky. Good stuff!
Listening to my Regina Spektor Pandora station like there’s no tomorrow. Sia, Tori Amos, Feist, Cat Power, Regina, repeat. It’s perfection for photo editing.
Hoping the tiny succulents we bought tonight do not meet an untimely death. So far I’m two for three.
Setting big, audacious goals for the second half of this year.
Marveling at all the gorgeous flowers in bloom and not yet wilted by summer heat.
Loving Eric, loving life.

I never thought of describing summer as luscious, but your post makes me do it. Glad that is what you are having!!!!

You and your husband are adorable. And we just finished the new arrested development! At first I didn’t like it but the now I agree with you. And the ending was like, omg! It was so good I want to watch it a second time through.
Sounds like June is a great month! You always seem to live life to the fullest, no matter what you’re doing. I like that!

Thank you so much! We have a few more episodes to go, but I am already eager to watch it all again! The first few were a little rocky for me because I didn’t quite get it yet, but after maybe three of them, I was totally on board:) And thank you for that amazing compliment! It means a lot coming from you, because I feel like you are the champion of living life to the fullest:) I am so glad we found each other–your blog brings so much light into my life:)

happy anniversary! I need to write down what I want to get done. I have ideas swimming about and I neglect to put pen to paper. Then I forget…Oh well once I’m off the computer I will recreate my in my mind list.

Thank you! I know what you mean–I have lists everywhere, and I still can’t seem to remember everything! I have just realized that if I actually want to go to the gym, I am going to have to schedule it on my calendar. Only took me thirty years to figure that one out!

Regina Spektor can be our friend. Cece likes her too ;D

Awww! Cece dancing to Regina Spektor is too adorable of an image for my brain to handle!
