Swish

Well time is flashing by my face and as usual I've hit the survival button and ducked under the covers.
Which means the first things to get dropped on their head are this here writing contraption and anything else that doesn't have a deadline or yell its demands.
I always miss this and know that I need to exercise my writing muscle (and catch up on the oodles of life that has been happening!!) so here's a brief list for this Sunday evening

• The Colorado Springs fire (and all of the Colorado fires) have kept most of my attention as of late. Thank goodness my family was out of its way (though there were a few sketchy days for a while...), but my heart aches for those who have to go 'home' and face the rubble that remains. 
• It is T-Minus ONE MONTH (and a few days) before my best friend gets married - wahoo - and all those details swimming through my brain...
• God answered a LOT of prayers all at once which Nick and I are overwhelmed and thankful for -- now wading through timing and what to say yes to. First up: a brand new shiny job for Nick!! Hooray! 
• Despite feeling blessed by the rain because my hometown is on fire...I'm a little sad and Eeyore-ish with this depressing attempt at summer, Seattle. Kick it into gear ok?

Would love to deny Monday its gratification of ripping me out of bed and into the chaos...but it's inevitable and I need to go cope with that... on the upside my favorite holiday is this week and calls for a day off! Bring on the BBQ, fireworks and (PLEASE) warm enough weather to at least peel off this sweater!
