my apologies...

you guys have been so great and i've been terrible

~

for the past week, my sister has been here visiting and instead of returning emails, responding to comments and reading your blogs, i've been playing and eating. i am so behind, it isn't even funny and i'm hoping that you'll all forgive me. 

i know there are many bloggers who take a break for a week or even a month, especially as summer rolls in, but i wasn't going to do that. at least not yet. 

~

now don't get wrong. 

i enjoyed life and family laughs and eating {lots} the entire time my sister was visiting, but now, i'm swimming in emails and "to-do" lists and can't seem to find my floaties anywhere.

so with my head a bit under water, randomness surfaces.

1. the mushrooms in my last post are from the farmer's market and no i didn't buy them. yes you can eat them. i just thought they were really cool.

2. the "big c" started it's new season last night and like last year, i will be hooked.

3. the bachelorette continues to suck me in. maybe it's because secretly i want to find out where bentley lives so i can go and kick him in the shins and mess up his hair while i tell him to get rid of that smile that reeks of "i'm the biggest jerk that has ever lived"

4. ann curry is not doing it for me as matt's co-host. i miss meredith.

5. our summer is finally here. like really here. finally we have warmth.

6. i love small airports and want to thank all of you for your opinions on the photo of the lady reading her newspaper form friday's post.

7. i'm still hating the fact that nobody in madison says "excuse me"while rudely passing in front of me at any shopping establishment i go to.

8. i am loving the song "if i die young" by "the band perry"

9. it's been confirmed by every pair of sandals i have tried on this summer that i hate my toes.

10. out of the hundreds of photos i have taken this month, the one above might be my favorite.
