i belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart....

Sometimes the only way i can write is if i make a list.

The list is almost always dumb. It's almost always kind of surface and safe but it unblocks my brain and the words started to flow.  So here is a lis of thing i'm thinking about. 

1. I think the idea of being a writer is beautiful and quite and intense. I'm not sure if you know much about me, you probably don't, but beautiful and quite and intense is kind of my happy place. 

I think it summer I will spend time learning about good writing. Technique and process. I used to hate the editing process and now I love it. I miss editing things and collaborating. 

2. I've also just being thinking a lot about getting married and having babies. I  hope I meet a boy who kisses me on the forehead and tries to hold my hand in public even though I kind of hate it because my hand gets sweaty and i get self conscience.  I hope he's handy and cares about the lawn and is good with his hands... And he's generous and funny and looks good in jeans. And loves Jesus. That's not asking too much, is it? Just a boy who makes me heart beat fast when i think about him. 

3. When I have kids. I hope they love the swings and running through the sprinkler. And on Saturdays we'll have waffles or bagels. They'll love brunch and being barefoot and exploring new cities.  They'll have crazy brown hair and wear mismatched clothes. They're favorite things will be the things that make them belly laugh and i'll take too many pictures. They'll be annoyed with that at an early age. 

4. I've been really into the Lumineers for the past week. I don't even know why. 

5.  I've also been really into sunflower and hydrangeas. 

6. I'm 100% invested in whether or not David Duchonvy and Gillian Anderson are a couple in real life. It is the dumbest thing i've ever been concerned about but honestly, they're in love and i'm 100% convinced and i think it's the sweetest thing ever. 

7. Prom was this weekend for my high schoolers. They are so sweet. I love them so much and i don't think any of them got expelled. It was so fun to watch them get dressed up, and walk in heels. Lol. they are mostly bad at it. The boys looked so handsome and the girls looked so lovely.  They were so excited. Prom is so strange but such a right of passage, it was fun to be there with them, and they were honestly so excited that i was there. UGH. They have my whole entire heart. 

8.  I have such a long list of books to read this summer and i am SO excited about it. 

9. I just made play list that has songs on it about the morning, because why the hell not. Its my morning playlist.

10. I used to hate coconut. Now I'm 150% obsessed with it. Especially in my coffee and in my hair. I'm simple.

11. I really like being a brunette but I wish my hair was curly and my eyes were blue. or green. I'm not about this hazel life.  I do like it, though, when my eyes look green.

12. I like my butt and my nose and my teeth, especially the two teeth that are just a little bit crooked. I'm currently waiting for my hair to dry so I can braid it.

13. Last weekend, i spilled nail polish on a really cute shirt i had had for less than 24 hours. RUINED it. Because i'm the WORST.

14.  my "wild" playlist is basically my favorite thing ever.

15. I'm seriously considering taking a trip by myself this summer to somewhere I really want to go. I am tired of waiting around for people. I will make memories on solo adventures if i have to.  Chicago might be my first adventure because well....i know people there and i know that city kinda and i know i won't die.

16. Also...summer job or not summer job? i haven't put like any thought into it but i really should. Extra money is never a bad thing.

17.  I plan on being real tan this summer, and hopefully skinnier because i'm gross.

18. I have about billion grad parties to go to. Yikes.

19.  This week friday Sold comes out for one week. This will likely be the first movie i see alone. I'm so excited.

20. i need to get my brakes fixed. Also, I need to always have champagne at the ready.  Just because it's a good thing to have on hand.
