the simple things...

Hey Y'all! Hope everyone is staying cool in this crazy heat, I'm trying to and most of the time it involves me and my pupperdogs locking ourselves up in the coolest room in the house...which happens to be mah bedroom, and so we usually sleep these hot afternoons away... hehe. Hey it's the simple things right? School inservice (which = work for moi) starts next Friday so I'm gonna soak up these afternoon naps while I can :)

So with the simple things in mind, it's time to join the wonderful Jesslyn Amber for her link-up to appreciate such things...


...afternoon naps...
...getting my first sewing machine (now I just need to learn to use it)...
...dr. pepper floats...
...deep, wonderful, heartfelt talks with my love...
...going to see "my girls" play in a scrimmage (my 8th graders are high schoolers now!)...
...new running socks and shoes...
...preparing for a new (school) year...
...Rock the Desert this weekend...
...this post by a childhood friend of mine, it deeply inspred me and I hope it does for you, too...

That's all I've got for today, now it's time to run, literally!

Happy Thursday loves!!

Hey y'all! Happy Thursday!

I have a pretty busy day of running around trying to take care of things before we head out Saturday for our vacay. You know, fun things like: getting the car serviced and detailed, running by the pharmacy, doing laundry and dishes....

and I received our wedding invitations in the mail yesterday!! YAAAAY! So I also need to print little info cards for directions to the location and hotel info, stuff envelopes, stamp them and get them sent off by tomorrow. So busy, busy (and very happy) bee today. I recently stumbled across a new blog that I just adore by sweet Jesslyn Amber who has a link up on Thursdays called "The Simple Things" and I am excited to jump in and play along. It's important to remember and be thankful for the little things, for that's what life is made up of :)

Play along and enjoy :)
