"If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito." ~Betty Reese

two lists

not loving:

• bug bites
• ivy creeping up in the grass
• that the bird feeder fell and broke - i saw some HUGE FAT dove bird try to sit on it... find one your own size!
• flip flop tans
• ants of any size shape and color
• sad ellie with no paci
• that i can not comment on blogs when i read them from the ipad, which is really where i read them all the time.. boo  this is a total bummer to me
• my hair - its already in between - should i cut it even shorter or just deal and let it grow a bit more?
• the feeling that my wardrobe is in a constant state of falling apart, ive been told that's what happens when you only have three pairs of shorts and you wear then to garden because the though of buying NEW clothes just for outside/garden/yard activity just seems weird 
• that penny got a bee sting today, so sad

loving:

• the sunshine
• hanging all the laundry out - and that i have four long lines to hang it ALL on
• horned lizards - or horned frogs - although totally creepy, these guys eat ants! 
• the sewing machine i borrowed to finished the braided rug, wow
• charlie harper's paint by number
• coffee and that fact that jd will drink it with me now - what fun! hahah, he gave in :)
• new friends and planned game nights
• the fact that penny had no reaction to her bee sting - i mean she reacted, but no swelling or allergic scariness
• everyday food magazine and magazines in general, they're just fun
• all the new things ellie is saying and singing, so sweet
• the trip we got to take to houston!
• the truckers tan that jd got from driving back from houston, it cracks me up
• art camp coming up at church 
• jd came home with two pairs of exercise/running type shorts for me to wear around outside and such!  
• yoga and stretching
• normal nap times
• an excuse to bake this weekend
