well HERE are some things i am liking this summer:
mushroom and ricotta pizza from otto’s. nine hundred page books about prostitutes. castle island. those weird/charming breakdowns in the middle of sugarland songs. white sheets. giving in. one-piece elizabeth taylor bathing suits. cherry tomatoes. the water pressure in my parents’ house. anticipation. ice cream sandwiches from the hub. longform.org. sue miller. jesse pinkman. joe biden. looking at people’s pictures on facebook and saying, “ugh, get away from me,” in a disgusted tone. egg and cheese with ham on an english muffin. the third season of grey’s anatomy. neon purple sneakers. throwing stuff away. task lighting. the new maroon 5 cd. lake houses. wes anderson, sort of. thunderstorms. adventures. playing outside.
(tell me what you like this summer)
having a proper vegetable garden. sleeping with the window open. packing boxes for the labor day yard sale. baseball games. cucumber water. lake tahoe. rocks in vases. flip flops as work attire. bright orange nail polish. the anticipation of an empty nest come september.
Eating tomatoes, peaches, watermelon and ice cream, and not much else. Remembering how much I like to read novels. Leaving work at 8, but still seeing the sun shining. Swimming. Your blog.
