Things I like

Jun 28, 2009 21:15

1. jumping on the trampoline at night after the kids are in bed.

2. Swimming in the lake beyond the roped off areas and boat buoys to where the water is almost black because it's so deep but that means it's cooler, cold even; to where the kids can't follow me and most other swimmers aren't daring enough to go - knowing I'm a strong swimmer and that I'll be just fine.

3. Wearing my psychedelic day-glo orange, yellow, lime-green and sky blue striped spandex skirt. I LOVE THIS INSANE SKIRT!

4. Eating tomatoes from my garden in my salad, on my sandwich, as a snack...

5. Singing along to country tunes at the top of my lungs with the windows rolled down, the wind whipping through my hair as I speed down winding, country roads at 60 mph.

6. Listening to the cicadas.

7. Drinking a Corona after a long, lazy day in the sun, feeling the very slight tingle on my skin where the sun soaked in just enough to make it hot but not burned.

8. The floaty feeling my body has, long after I've been in the water, so that it still feels like I'm swimming.

9. Eating corn on the cob after a long day in the summer sun.

10. Finding peace for one lazy afternoon despite the nonsense and mayhem that is my kamikaze life.
