Shorts and Sandals

 

Daily Thought: I am from South Florida. That means I can wear sandals 365 day’s a year, I never need to lug sweaters and coats around, and certainly no shoveling snow. Sometimes though, I cant help but feel a little left out when it comes to seasons and changing weather. Thousands of snow birds flee the northern hemisphere and flock to the sunshine state, meanwhile I wish I was heading up north to take part in the typical holiday nostalgia like making snowmen, fall clothes, and ice skating (outdoors, on a lake)! Don’t feel too bad however, tomorrow, and for the rest of the holiday season, you can probably find me at the beach or outside with my son, wearing shorts and sandals.

Keyboard or Notebook?

       Daily Photograph:Above is my son, I took this photo at the park on a beautiful cloudy day. He is my heart and soul and I am glad to introduce him to everyone.

Daily thought: There is no substitute to a good notebook and pen, typing my thoughts just doesn’t compare. There is something very organic about writing, it feels like my thoughts flow smoothly. I love good penmanship, and have always found people’s writing styles intriguing.When you record your thoughts, do you find it easier to write with pen and paper or do you prefer to type?

Daily Design: Love the brown craft paper over wood for a menu in a cafe. Looks clean and cozy.

Hanging on the Telephone

A great daily read! I should add this as a quote to my about me section.

Listful Thinking

Yesterday, I spent 20 minutes clicking my way deeper and deeper into a company’s website, looking for someone’s email address. Unless you’re looking for an incredibly specific, possibly illegal item that’s only sold by a tiny curio shop in the Ukraine, that’s a stupid amount of time to spend looking for anything online. I was determined to find the address or die trying, though, because my only other option was calling her.

Yep. I had her phone number the whole time. When it comes down to it, I would rather fly a rickety, snake-infested plane to the Ukraine to hunt down an incredibly specific, possibly illegal item that’s only sold by a tiny curio shop there than pick up the phone and call someone.

I hope those of you who come by for a visit will bear with me as I tweak and change my blog to be everything I want it to be. I am new to wordpress, and blogging so it may take a few tries but we will get there 🙂
