weekend musings
it's hot and sunny again today.
i think it's probably in the 80's.
in fact, this morning when my bf and i were
trimming the bushes in our front yard (at about 10a),
the sun was already dehydrating the hell out of us.
at least our front yard looks cleaner.

'spent most of yesterday at our friends' lovely home
in the south bay for a pool party.
there was gobs and gobs of food: bbq chicken,
burgers, corn, salad, watermelon...you name it.
and although their pool was not heated,
swimming in it made all the difference
cause it was pretty hot yesterday, too.

'got a chance to play with one of my nieces and nephews.
'haven't seen either of them in months.
the last time i saw my niece, she was a newborn...just a few hours old.
now, she's actually much bigger and heavier than baby boy who is
6 months her senior.
they're both such chill babies, though.
the only time they make a fuss is when they're either
hungry or went #1 or #2.
It's really calming, but sometimes I wish they'd scream, laugh, react, something!
hehehe...

still...watching them react to life in whatever way is pretty damn cool.
'takes me back to basics.
'reminds me that sometimes the layers and layers of bullshit that we wade through
in life is just that: B.S.

'capped off the fun-filled day with our usual
"shootin' the shit" conversation on the patio.
our gracious hostess prepared a lovely
white chocolate fondue with strawberries,
bananas, pound cake and marshmallows to dip with.
it's nice to let go and live like that.
if only we could do that more than once a week.
