movin’ on
June 26, 2006I realized this morning that I’ve gotta move on. I’d been wanting to write all about the wedding — I still might — before going on the honeymoon. But we’ve left and honeymooned our hearts out and come home and now it’s summer and I miss just talking about the little things.
Like the juicy and fragrant summer berries that I love to stir into my yogurt every morning. And the funny tan line I have from wearing my flip-flops all day long. I love reading trashy books and watching blockbuster films during the summer. I love seeing children with two scoops at the ice cream shops. I love the way summer makes you feel young and hopeful and free, even if you’re 30 with bills to pay and a business to run.
I have some grand plans this summer, but for now I just want to celebrate everything between the plans we make.
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
I love that about you. :)
Summer always makes me feel like I’ve been re-born. I don’t know if it’s the sunny days or walking barefoot in green grass, but there’s something magical about this time of year. And yes, I agree, it does make one feel young and hopeful–no matter what her age!
