longing for fall

while the summer air sits heavy on my chest

making it hard to breathe, hard to move

my heart is longing for fall.

living in Texas heat is our language.

hundred degree days lined up for miles

while northerners are breaking out cardigans

we're still scorched in the sun

maybe this summer I'm itching to get away

from the heat

to bring a new season

to bring new life

to bring fresh air

but these are the days we've been given.

you've been given some too.

are you wishing yours away? to something cooler,

something easier, something new?

I hope you'll join with me in enjoying the days.

even if they aren't the ones we long for.

these days are a gift we've been given.

currently

...I'm listening to Fun. it's so summer-y and happy. perfect for transitioning into summer.

 

...I'm still on a high from a wonderful date this weekend with my man. Grotto was wonderful, but that time with my man is so much sweeter

...I woke up this  morning from the craziest dream. crazy weird. something that would never happen, but involves people I know in real life. It's got me in a weird funk.

...enjoying my new iphone 4s. I fell at work with a power outage/generator failure/ smoke and fire. this is what happened to my iphone4. so sad.

 

...and on that note, today was a crazy monday.

we stared the day with no power, and the day ended up including

electrical fire
no power
3 hours outside
much monopoly played on a coworker's ipad
and a office-wide field trip to a restaurant down the street.

needless to say, I'm glad monday's over.
