i was so bummed it was monday i decided to ignore it all together yesterday. please don't feel neglected. guess what? it is already tuesday, one step closer to the glorious weekend. 

anywho, it was a great weekend... far too short, but full of laughter, tears, happy moments, sad moments, long lost friends and lovely pictures. here are just a few photos from the weekend...

i was busy being the photographer, so i didn't make it into the photos,
but there sure were plenty of cute kids there to photograph... goodness.
speaking of cute, my dear friend's kids are absolutely adorable, wouldn't you agree?

HAPPY TUESDAY!!

little tidbit #20...

back when i had my old car before it went to VW heaven,
i had a sticker on my car. you know, one of those silly
stickers that makes you feel like its your car's signature,
makes it girly, or manly, or expresses your personality in some way.
for some reason i loved that sticker.
and when i went to empty my poor car out
before they hauled it away to the junk yard,
i saw the sticker, and got really sad that
it was going to the junkyard too.

well today, someone - who notices the little things i say,
walked by the store where i got that old sticker,
and bought the exact same one for my new car.

he gave it to me today.

 i know it's just a silly little sticker,
but the thought meant so much to me.
it's like a little piece of my old car is back.

monday just got a whole lot better.

monday blues...

today, i'm struggling with a little case of the monday blues.

i feel like i really never got out of bed mentally,

and i've got no motivation today.

i want the beach.

i want flip flops.

i want sleep.

i want to have a day where 

i don't have to do anything...

...where everything i do is my choice.

{i know that everything i do already IS a choice,

i'm just speaking metaphorically... ya know?}

it's one of those days i wish my life was different.

where i didn't feel so stressed about money and 

"real world" things we're supposed to deal with.

it's one of those mondays where i wish i was a kid again.

and the only worry in the world was going to school, 

or what friend i would play with that day, 

or what games we were going to play,

or what my mom made me for lunch...

today is the day where i'm finally looking back and saying

those were the days.
