GRATEFULsunday

kittens that lick my cheek early in the morning and sleep on my husband's chest
a good chunk of editing out of the way...went from 19288 to 14483
a decision made late last night that has been weighing on my mind for a long time...and now that i have said it loud, I feel a little lighter.
a husband/best friend that listens and lets me vent and obsess and rant...and gets outraged at all the right places...and then strokes my hair and says "#*$% them...who cares about them".
mighty ceaser salad dressing
coffee dates
catching up onNashville while editing
caramel lattes in the tassimo

and in light of everything that feels like it is going on/wrong with the world, i am grateful for where i am, grateful for my little island...my heart breaks for the uncertainty in the world...

friday i'm in love...the summer edition...

with hanging out on the deck in pjs on an early friday morning, listening to the cheeseburger bird and watching the pug roll in the grass
going to see this tonight!! :) and knowing that this trip to the drive in will be much better than my last drive in experience...and i'm sure my kids would agree.
have been having so much with engagement sessions and weddings! Editing last weekend's wedding (CEREMONY WAS IN AN APPLE ORCHARD! did i tell you that?) and today will be uploading last night's fun nautical themed engagement session...while finishing up (heh...up) the incredibly fun UP! themed engagement session from a couple of weeks ago..balloons! there were balloons!
not to mention (cause I'm not supposed to mention) but i have a SECRET session today...shhhhh...i am not supposed to tell anyone!
checking our little garden everyday to see if there are any new developments
sneaking in a little teeny tiny bit of reading
having lunch with one of my childhood best friends...a lot...cause now we work in the same building! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy! (and yes, that was a true kermit flail...) :)
might be meeting up with another childhood best friend this afternoon to take in a bit of a ball game and catch up!
campbell landed a kick flip!
absolutely in love with this series...mind is blown. wow!
this little girl's giggles. that is all. well...and i'm jealous. i wanna do that! :)
it's no secret i am a bit of a sesame street fan. i had Maria & Luis's wedding recorded on a VHS tape. so i am sad that maria is retiring...happy for her...but sad. i don't like change. and i'm slightly selfish that way. :)
no weddings tomorrow, no commitments of any kind...other than editing...and maybe some laundry...this may require a trip to the beach...and a bbq...and some fresh island strawberries...they are out now, right? please say yes.

happy weekend!!

counting crows 2015

May 22, 2015 Arlene Giddings

wednesday i went to moncton
with my 2 childhood best friends
to see the counting crows...

a day spent shopping,
eating New York Fries (which we don't have on PEI)
and giggling...
followed by the main event
the concert at the casino
which is a great venue...

they opened with round here
and, although they didn't play sullivan street,
it was fantastic...
he sounds so good live...the exact same as you would imagine he would sound...

and the guy behind us
who sang enthusiastically to every song
totally made my night.

photos & video were taken with my phone so grainy
but still couldn't resist...momentos of a great night with best friends.
