lovin right now

wow.. a post on a sunday.  my blog used to be so on schedule.  but after such a busy summer, in the kitchen and at the day care, i feel the need to post and schedule posts for whenever!  look at me go... 


my current infatuations are pretty simple.  I like my hot coffee that i don't finish in the morning put in the fridge to be drank later in the day cold as a cucumber.  must be the heat index outside.  i'm totally hooked on colby jack cheese sliced, cubed or string.  i am totally enjoying pasting and securing pictures and things in my journal using washi tape that i bought on etsy.  it makes the pages thicker and holds them in place with a very pretty flare.  my favorite has red and pink cabbage roses with a green background.  i have never been a flip flop fan but when i purchased some new bathing suits at a very discounted price at jc penney before our florida trip i bought a pair of white frip flops with silver glitter thongs and loved them enough to send my sister back for two more pair.  at just 2.27 each i figure it didn't hurt and now i wear them all the time.  real good for the arches you know... not!  daily rituals is a book that i have on loan from the library right now and i love it.  it fascinates me to read about how artists, writers and creative people live their lives and do what they do.  
i am also hooked on a website, also about artists and creatives.  this one is about their homes and interviews on their lives.  pretty cool.  here's one of my favorites so far.  or my favorite picture from her home rather.  click the pic to be directed to her interview.

library list


one.  Stalking the healthful herbs, by: Euell Gibbons.  Still on my quest in natural and herbal foraging.  My soul wants to know so much more.  I have read Stalking the wild asparagus by Euell Gibbons and really enjoyed learning about wild edibles and the commentary stories so much so that I sought out more books by him.

two.  Daily Rituals, by: Mason Currey.  I have been interested lately in how actual artists (of which I do not consider myself) stay motivated in their creativity.  Maybe it's my own short attention span and just maybe I will pick a new healthy creative habit.

three.  1, by: The Beatles.  Mainly because the Love Me Do intro tickled my ears the other day and I want more!

four.  Muscle Shoals.  I really, really liked this documentary on Muscle Shoals and all the music and artists and stories began.  Now I understand where the line in Sweet Home Alabama "now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers... and they've been known to pick a song or two" comes from!

five.  The Birds movie, Alfred Hitchcock.  I've never seen it.  I hope I don't change my opinion on my love of birds.
