I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."

a little late

I love my (usually) weekly dinners with Sarah Wright and sometimes Molly Henry. They are the best. We laugh together and talk about just whatever we think of. Sometimes we're serious, sometimes we're downright goofy, but we always have fun. Last Thursday we ate at Mellow Mushroom. It was super delicious. We all had diet coke which was great. We talked about the upcoming CILT reunion 2. I cannot wait. Going to camp always brings me so much joy. Just seeing or talking to camp people gets me feeling happy and energized-- actually going there makes me beyond joyous. Anyways. I'm just very lucky to have these two awesome girls in my life and I'm so glad I get to spend a pretty good amount of time with them both.
