i saw this picture and it reminded me of a home i had 10 years ago.

i am a jersey tomato.

and although i haven't stood on your shore, or crossed the ben franklin bridge in a while...

you'll always be my first home.

new jersey.

hopefully soon one day i'll bring brad to meet you.

and we shall eat fresh apple slush.

or white corn from a stand.

and marvel at the grass that just grows by itself.

this morning

reason # 32 why i love brad:
my husband made me a sandwich for lunch this morning. he makes delicious sandwhiches. he knows the perfect ratio of ham:pickle::mustard:lettuce.

and i just opened it.

and this was tucked inside:

he's so cute that darling husband of mine.

i love these little stickies. my sisterface sent them to me. there's like 6 different ones and although i'm not usually into the japanese-type cartoons, i think they are hilarious and cute. our favorite one has a picture of a girl with a princess crown and it says "Disenchanted." ha

i heart my job

reasons i love my job:(yes, my boss is 6'9'' and yes, i am the only one under the age of 48...ha)

#1. i have one.
#2. i have wonderful co-workers.
#3. we do service. and we LIKE IT.
if you are in the market for service opportunities, i highly recommend trying out GLEANING. here. at this park.
we planted zucchini, picked broccoli and pulled weeds. for hours. i loved it. it felt so good to HELP PEOPLE. and be in the SUNSHINE.
it was lovely. seriously.

i love it when we're cruisin' together...

sunset boat cruise.. dana point harbor... saturday evening with friends... live reggae band... sounds like a dream, right!?
it was sunny and beautiful and clear UNTIL we reached dana point. oh well.
BUT 'twas a lovely evening. :)
(remember next time to take a picture with my husband.. not just my friends. oh, and please back my HUGE face away from the camera.)

do you ever just have a good day?

yesterday was a good day. nay, a great day. it seems like wonderful things are happening all over to people i love. :)

i think also because i finished up all the gifts i need to send to people. i loved picking out each one and wrapping and writing the address on the box. thinking and hoping that each recipient would like it. and know how much i love them.

i also recently made a new friend. and she lives right down our street. so yesterday i walked to her house to bring her something & got to spend a little FHE time with her husband & son & watch a little Jaws 3. hilarious. i remembered some of what i watched, but as soon as the shark starting causing trouble i walked home! no need to hash up old childhood trauma. :)

i feel like i don't have a lot to say, and there is no news or anything special to be excited about, but it's just a GOOD DAY. :)
