Friends Listen to Gavin DeGraw in the Dark....

I. Absolutely. Love. This. Summer. Pretty much everything about it. Hence, why I am not writing much. I have a lot to write about, there aren't enough hours in the day (or night, wink wink) to fit it all in, but I'm also writing magazine articles for The Loop, so... that's really the only time I designate to thinking in the editorial sense. I'm jotting things down in my little silky book in my purse, or on random post its, or I'll laugh and beg someone to facebook message me to "hahah remind me i'mma blog about that shit!" from a bar or patio. Then I'll just... go on living my life.

I figured I had to get something down tonight as every other night of this week (and pretty much all of August) is planned out. CTL is taking me to Gavin DeGraw tomorrow, Thursday night dinner and article meeting, Friday Linny or HB make outs or scouting. Saturday Northview. Sunday fishing... the list goes on. It's bad enough I'm simultaneously watching PLL and doing this! That's double dipping at it's finest. I just have no empty time on my hands...

And I couldn't be more happy about it.

This Is Extremely Beautiful. And Very True.

I Sorta Miss Blogging. Let's Update.

The feel of grass under my feet. The feel of a dog licking my face. The sound of crickets at night. The look of a pretty color on my toenails. The satisfaction after working out. The excitement of finding adorable shoes on clearance. The crunch of sweet corn in my mouth. The release after a huge laugh. The anticipation before a date. The cuteness of a new friend's hug. The comfort of an old friend's hug. The wind across my shoulders with the windows down on a drive. The glee of spotting a woodchuck standing up in the weeds. The feel of rain on my skin after a hot week. The smell of the corn field on a humid night. The pop of a gun as I fire off a shot. The smell of steak on the grill. The feel of accomplishment after yard work. The feel of satin on my skin after a shower. The warmth of a great snuggle. The ahhhh of the first drink of cold beer after spicy food.

Damn, it has been a great summer so far.
