things that have been awesome lately.

besides this picture of my loveboat in sunglasses?!  well shit!  i’ll try to come up with a few more things:

// the other night, i put our ironing board down on the floor at its lowest level and parker and i ran across it and danced like major goofs while blaring katy perry’s roar.  it was one of those, “hey, this might be fun!” things.  completely and totally random but made him the happiest ever.  i sort of live to see that boy smile and laugh.
// i made pasta with garlic and onions and squash and chicken sausage and it was delicious.  i’d been sort of lazy in the kitchen so, it was time.  steve gave me a huge hug afterwards and said a really genuine thanks so i think i need to be lazier in the kitchen more often and them boom!  good dinner served.  gratitude abounds.  you should all try it.
// a dreary saturday.  sometimes i absolutely love them.  no pressure to go out and enjoy the sunshine.  i can stay inside all day, drink tea, get stuff done, whatever.  as long as they’re not too frequent, i love when they come.
// steve and i watched where the streets have no name (rattle and hum version) the other day.  and then a few more u2 videos (we were on a u2 kick) and that’s never a mistake.  (us at their concert, forever ago!)  also, i don’t think i am cut out to be a superstar by any means but can you IMAGINE how cool it’d be to be bono for just like one concert?!  or the edge just when he begins the riff at the beginning of where the streets have no name?  has anyone ever in their whole life felt so cool as he when he gets to do that?  no.  absolutely not.
// william went off to his first day of eighth grade like it ain’t no thang.  in the past sometimes he has some major first day jitters but nothing this year.  it was such a relief and i was so happy for him.
// apple cider donuts.  i eat them all year round though, so i suppose restricting this to fall is false.  scratch this one.
// lindsey’s on student council and is just loving it.  came home last night and made a poster for a charity project they’re working on together.
// the thomas newman spotify station.  think finding nemo, wall-e, forrest gump, braveheart, and gladiator more or less.  it’s actually really good.  we listen to it almost every morning.
// it’s friday!  and i think we’re going to watch jurassic park with william and lindsey tonight and hope they don’t have nightmares?

have a good weekend!
