little joys.

some serious crafting.
including lots of homemade cards and mix cds.
and sent mail galore. {just trying to keep my local post office in business!}
and it went so well with my 3 hour sex and the city marathon.

these two munchkins that i get to babysit for while. they might be the worlds greatest dogs. {and i''m not the biggest dog person. growing up with a dad that was allergic to fur meant random pets like turtles and fish. and they just don't cut it.} but now i can officially say "i'm in love, i'm in love, and i don't care who knows!" dash and nola are my new cuddle buddies! and they help me finish my lunch!

game night!
where i lost horribly.
and i blame my lack of luck completely.
{sore loser whhauut?}
but if you've never played whoonu you must! its part of the whole cranium family so you know it has to be great!

lunch time with my girrrl,
complete with the worlds best grilled cheese.
{only took me 19 years to perfect. yeah, i've been making grilled cheese since i've come out of the womb.}

sun.
sun.
sun.
and more sun!
{so wait, why am i still pale as a ghost?}

conquered my first pineapple.
well slaughtered is more like it.
i was nervous at first. what with its spikes surrounding the fortress of fruit goodness, the pineapple was ready to put up a fight. but with my knife in hand, a mere 5 minuets later i had the perfect breakfast. {and now i will be saving bundles of cash by not buying it pre-cut!}

getting lots of little goodies from sarah in the mail! and it totally made my day. she collaged a letter C. {so insanely cute} a C for cake. i'm guessing. YARN! a RAD T SHIRT. a record, a coin purse, and lots of other wonderfulness!! and it was all packaged so cute in old maps, i almost didn't want to open it!! thanks sarah!

colorful bunting from stephanie!
among other wonderfulness.
i put it up right when i got it and i'm in love with it!!

how did they sneak up in here again??
woops.
their eyes slay my heart. and make me think that unicorns might exisit. and at the end of every rainbow there is a pot of gold!


wishing you a joyful and delightful day!

    last weekend i surprised my family at home. my little sister and i got to visit our dog that we had to give away 10 months ago to a nice family. the worst part was, he recognized us and didn't even want to play with the ball. he just sat there with his head against my leg while i petted him...

  21. Your posts are always so happy! :) Grilled cheese = where it's at. Always. Just like PB&J.

    Cranium is awesome, but scattergories is THE best.

  27. Looks like you are making the most of your summer break.
    I cut up a pineapple yesterday but forgot to move the core so now when ever i eat a bit I have to eat around the middle, haha a lesson learnt for next time.

  33. Aw what cuties!! I love dogs of any kind!! That grilled cheese lunch looks so delicious!! I've never bought a whole pineapple! I always buy it pre-packaged. I think I need to buy a whole pineapple and have the same experience. Sounds like a lot of loveliness!!
