come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long.

summer break... started with a bang, i guess?
my first night home i got to spend with 4 of my closest friends.
we somehow ended up at steak 'n shake with one of the greatest waiters i've ever had.
i love seeing people at work when they like their job, it's encouraging.
thank you, mystery waiter. you are a diamond in the rough.
we continued our evening at kaeleigh's house, where we attempted to watch "father of the bride" - one of my favorites...but i didn't even stay awake long enough to see martin short... disappointing, but not surprising for you that know me well.
we made banana pancakes the next morning (and pretended like it was the weekend, see what i did there?) ... my heart gets all excited when i get to make breakfast with people i love.

mother's day was a success.
brian seemed to be over his "swine flu" - at least my mom was convinced he had it.
so the day was full of giggling, picture taking and other relative nonsense that ensues whenever we all are together.
my family is pretty bithcin'.
you should know that.

monday was a full day.
tree of life in the morning with my lovely mom, coffee and tea, and faster internet.
walmart had a bundle of fabric on sale...i spent too much money, but i'm excited to make stuff.
yesterday started my summer habit of making and drinking lemonade like it's oxygen.
is it just me or does summer make everyone else want to drink lemonade from a floral pitcher.
in the evening i convinced my sister and mum to go on a bike ride, i'm so persuasive.

today has been a lazy day.
i did do some laundry and hang it out on the clothesline, that was fun.
probably one of the few things i enjoy about living in the country.
i've been spending most of my day reading this book that my sister got me hooked on, "The Mysterious Benedict Society".
i love having time to read. i have a pile of books i need to dive into...
so on that note, i'm heading outside to read.
enjoy the sun. mkay?
