friday love list: my cupcake matches my shirt edition.
Ahhh! How cooltowns is that?
And how cooltowns is it that I have coined a new term for good things: cooltowns!
For something to be cooltowns, it needn’t be cool OR a town, but just something you really, really like.
I, for one, cannot stop saying it. I am also a giant nerdface, but hey:
Ever been inspired by a wiener?
Don’t answer that.
Really.
Just make a list of things you love here, or at your own bloggity (but if you do it there, leave the link in the comments so we can all share in the love.)
THINGS I LOVE, YO.
Metromint water
Bill Murray
Coordinating baked goods with fashion
Baby bunnies
Air conditioning in stores
Ira Glass
Breaking things with a karate chop (like rice cakes, or RyKrisp, or styrofoam… but now I’m just being redundant)
Making your own salad dressing
Lite-Brite
Windex
Blue sky days:
Jasmine green tea
That my nails and hair have suddenly become like IRON!
Moving from crying to laughing
This shark, which someone should give me as a gift
Architectural photos
Twilight on my deck:
Tanned toes
A man in a well-cut suit
Eating babies:
(I did not actually consume him, I just held him.)
Seeing the mold in my water bottle just BEFORE I took a deep swig
“That summery glow”
Our new hanging baskets:
And finally, my sunglasses:
And you?

I also love your new sunglasses! A couple of my own:
*Finishing a huge project at work
*Rainy Friday afternoons
*hammocks
*my truck
*dried cranberries
*vanilla chai
*the fact that I got to take my oldest to first grade on Wednesday
*how excited he was about first grade. “I wish I was still there!”
*cheesy movies
*cheetos puffs
*new friends
I could go on and on, but I should get back to work! Happy weekend Meg!

1. Air conditioning. It’s going to stay on the list until the end of this heat wave.
2. Tiny, tiny ornamental gourds growing on my mystery squash plant (all the seedlings got mixed up, I planted and hoped time would sort them out).
3. Your hair in that last picture. Seriously, it is the BOMB.
4. Emptying the shredder. What? It’s cathartic.
5. Discovery Channel shows on DVD.

Cooltowns! That’s just excellent. Can’t you just hear Bill Kurtis signing off at the end of one of his shows with it??
“And that is, as they say…cooltowns.”

Beautiful flowers are full out against the blue sky, look more fresh and vivid. Glad to see the image.

Was that a shout-out?
Oh, wait. Blue sky. I guess everybody has a sky.
Beautiful picture of the wispy clouds, Meg. And all the rest of the pics, too.
That baby looks terrified, though - maybe you better find a better word than “eating.” Nibbling? Tasting? Sampling?
I’ll getcha a list tomorrow, when I’m thinking.
