summer time.. when the livings easy..

January 05th, 2011

isn’t it crazy how you can just tell this is taken in the morning..

last night at work.. me and a friend were catching up starting work.. and she started talking about summer.. now.. I am all about living in the season these days.. dragging out my Christmas memories.. and getting ready for some nice movie time and cuddles during the winter.. but it was like it took over my actual body.. I could feel the morning spring and summer goosebumps crawling up my arms.. that feeling of waking up warm and hot.. and throwing on a pair of shorts.. and a quick teeth brush.. and no need for make up.. because your skin is glowing and brown.. and then heading out for a walk or to the beach.. choosing a park for the morning before that afternoon sun took over.. and I have to be by water.. baking away on a towel with a baby who this year.. will actually be walking solid.. :)  stocking the cooler with cheezies and a diet coke.. sandwiches.. and goldfish crackers.. bottles of ice water and a pool toy.. 

I am excited.. 

I am also excited for early morning walks.. walking through the town center.. where you watch people setting up their shops.. pulling out goods onto the sidewalks.. with balloons.. watching the early morning servers crawling their asses to the early shift holding their venti coffees because they were out to late.. (been there) and hitting up our spotted cow coffee shop for my sausage breakfast wrap and my iced soy hazelnut coffee while olive runs around excited to be free.. 

I have also finally set up a little station for the bear bear.. it was time.. we made the mistake of buying a glass table top pre child.. and the spills.. and finger marks.. and yogurt spills were wearing on me.. my mama had bought Olive a little table and chairs set for Christmas.. but even for my peanut.. it was too little.. so during my Ikea adventure.. I purchased this gem that I have had my eye on for a while now.. and she is in love.. we set it up together.. and she was so proud and picked out her own chair.. and the other one is now “mamas chair” and the first thing out of her mouth is to colour each morning on it.. and she eats her meals there now.. and it is just her own little station.. 

today I am 20 weeks.. wowsers.. half way there.. and I love that it is flying by.. Monday is our three D ultrasound.. just to really verify those genital bits..  and than it is nursery go time.. well.. open room loft go time.. I am thinking a wall of stripes for this baby.. and I am ready to start making them a little home.. 

hello nesting.. I have been waiting for you!
