thunder.

an hour ago, i was declaring that i do my best work when its thunderstorming out. now, i just want to cuddle under my blankets & take a nap. such short-lived motivation always kicks me in the butt.

so, here i am blogging. i actually typed bloggin' first, but then i thought that might make my IQ look 10 points lower. but who's into appearances anyways? i'm bloggin'.

this past weekend was a classic. nights spent at grandma's with a hint of magic as we sip our tea while cuddling kitties and reading our daily stars.

and a birthday party for my nephew celebrated with family...intertwined with the perfect dose of imagination as we created haunted houses and dined at noey's pretend kitchen. and had some ultimate belly laughs.

but then, THEN came the best make-shift weekend day of all. adam & i are always on the go on weekends. usually he's working, but now i'm doing shoots on the weekend. and with church band practice and get-togethers, our weekends haven't been our own. so, yesterday, adam came over and we enjoyed our "weekend." we went to the library and sorted through lots of different subjects until we finally decided on checking out finance & small business books.

after a quick-trip at the car-wash where i learned how to handle the power-sprayer, we came back to my apartment and made tacos and lounged about watching movies and reading our books and being silly together.

it was just what we needed after such a crazy weekend. some time just to be in our routine. in our place where we were free to snuggle and giggle and just be.

and now, its back to the grind. with two shoots lined up for this week and a mental pile of expense reports and insurance plans to sort through, i'm ready.

because i can rally.
