I’m beyond evening, it’s closer to Saturday now. Why am I not in bed?
It has been cool in the mornings and it was pleasant tonight. That makes me very happy.
Today was Steel Day. Did you even know there is such a thing as Steel Day? Now you do.
I don’t necessarily wish I were in high school again, but I wish I appreciated the lack of responsibility I had.
I think this is beautiful “…for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” – George Elliott, Middlemarch
I’m feeling so scatterbrained right now. It’s scary.
There’s only so much you can do about so many things, and it’s too easy to get overwhelmed by the little things in life. I’m altering my way of thinking to just focus on the basics right now.
I kind of wish we had taken the kitten that my sister-
in-law adopted with Beau in mind. I need another animal, specifically an allergy attack inducing cat, like a hole in the head, but he’s so cute and cuddly. We’ll just have to schedule visitations with him at her house.
I need to see the ocean. I miss it.
I want to immerse myself in books.
Why is it so hard to find pain du chocolat?
Good night. Happy Weekend.
StephanieD says
For good pain au chocolat, perhaps you have to go to Paris, where the pastry is light and buttery and the chocolate inside is soft and abundant. Everywhere else the chocolate is this semi-hard stick running down the center. C'est la vie.
I'm hungry now.
Wendy says
Yes, why is it so hard to find pain au chocolat? It's so necessary with early morning coffee to start the weekend. And I agree with Stephanie. There's nothing like the stuff you get in France!

My high-school-aged son came to me the other day nostalgic for his childhood and very aware of how much easier life had been then. I took that opportunity to point out to him that his life now is much easier than it will be and to make sure to enjoy it.

Lizzie, I am going to the ocean on thursday. I haven' t been to the beach in about 2-3 years. I am very excited. A mini vacation for me and hubby to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. First vacay without children in 25 years.
I will say hi to the ocean for you!
Holli says
I desperately miss the ocean…. this once a year trip to see it now SUCKS! LOL
I used to go to the beach once a month if not more (and for a month in the summers when i was younger)… so this is just awful now.

A nice treat is to get the frozen chocolate croissants from Williams Sonoma and defrost one at a time. They're amazingly good.
Your "there's only so much you can do" statement…that is my entire philosophy of life. One step at a time, one minute at a time. The harder things are, the smaller the "bite" I break it into. (If I can get through this day, or this morning, this hour, this minute).

I love your Friday thoughts! Do you sit down and write these posts all at once or do you make notes throughout the week?
