Some Kind of Wonderful

I've been having fun lately.

 

Not in every part of my life.

 

But in most.

 

I've been grateful for the good friendships I have.

 

Grateful for a lot of things. Even the little things, like treating myself to a super cute new bikini.

 

 

And I'm grateful for this spectacular photo.

For reasons that you would never, ever guess.

Happy Thursday!

 

This Is Water

Choose. Choose your perception. Consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn't.

Sometimes the most trivial things are the most important, the choices that you make are the ones that make something so wonderful, or tear it all down. Decide if you're going to be happy. Decide if you're going to make someONE or someTHING important. Live with the choices you do make.

And be happy.



Work Work Work

 

This is my....

Contemplative.

I think we all need longer weekends.

And a trip to Vegas.

Facial Expression.

 

Anybody with me?

White Trash Saturday

Originally, the plan was to spend the entire day luxuriating by the wave pool at the local 7 Peaks Waterpark. So we (Brant, Lisa, and I) get in the car and GO.

And we're excited.

 

 

But 7 Peaks? Totally doesn't open until Memorial Day.

Which..... is kind of lame.

How did we miss this? I blame Lisa ;).

But, we're not ones to be deterred from having our Saturday shennanigans of fun.

Brant instructed us to both get into the backseat and let him take care of all the little 'details' from there on out.

And he turned it into the most fabulous white trash Saturday I've experienced yet.

 

We drove around in Mallory (the chopped off Cadillac) which made my hair look like this, (see above photo) and also put a big smile on my face.

 

I ended up drinking some delisciousness from a ziplock bag (don't ask, it was fun).

 

And then we ended up doing some rooftop tanning enjoying the glorious views of Provo for a while.

It ended with lunch up at Sundance, which isn't so white trash..... so I'll leave those high class photos out of here.

Such a random weird Saturday, but oh so fun.

Whatever Lola Wants

So incase you're new to this show.

I have 3 little chicks.

And out of all of them. Lola is the biggest asshole.

She cracks me up.

 

She steals treats from the other chickens. She runs away from me when it's time to go back in their little home. She thinks a speck of dirt on my leg MIGHT be some kind of bug so she decides to peck it. She runs tag team operations against me with the other chickens.

She's the ring leader.

 

 

She's hiding in the flowers behind me right now. KNOWING that it's definitely time to go back inside.

And she doesn't give a...... :).

She doesn't.

 

But I love her. Because all of this makes me giggle.

Just a Walk in the Woods

 

Sometimes all you need is a little walk in the woods.

It's Spring.

And everything is so beautiful right now.

It's a.....

That's right folks.

 

It's a Monday.

 

And aside from the fact that I consumed just a little too much chocolate over the weekend, I'm holding onto a pretty positive outlook.

 

My weekend was great.

 

Gorgeous in fact.

 

How many people get to spend the weekend with the people they want (including puppy people and chicken people) enjoy such gorgeousness, and feel so happy?

 

Some people aren't that lucky.

So I'm grateful.

 

 

Upper left corner is Oliver's little backside. Phoebe is right below me, smelling the pretty Dianthus and tulips that are growing under my weeping cherry.

 

Isn't it gorgeous???

It's SO gorgeous. Looking at all these flowers I've planted myself makes me happy.

 

So does riding on my gorgeous beach cruiser.

This photo is too bright to tell but my name is written on the frame, right on top in white writing.

Ripped jeans, barefeet, bike rides.... can you tell summer is here?

 

This photo is the entire reason for me wanting to blog today.

Don't you just look at this photo and smile?

 They are so cute! They are both running toward me right now, I called them and they did their fast little waddle run towards me. Chickens running is pretty funny to watch.

Rex is on the left, Lola is on the right, and Henrietta is hiding around the back of the house.

I've realized if they get in the right spot, they can chicken scratch my

weeds right out of my flower beds.

I've ALSO realized that my chickies

DO NOT

differentiate between weeds and freshly planted flowers. Whoops :).

 

Happy Monday everyone!

 

I challenge each of you to not be a jerk even though you feel like it.

Reel in the crazy people, just reeel it in.
