I spaced out on May Day this year. I'm glad it's May. But I'm ready for time to kinda slow down now. I want this spring and summer to go gently by.

This weekend was nice. I headed with a friend to a flea market and was very, very good. I just picked up one thing for myself! I'll have to post a photo later.

I don't like 7-UP but this sign was pretty good

We Saw this sign at the market. I hate 7-UP, it reminds me of being sick, but this sign was pretty cool. Can't you see it at a corner store or gas station on a hot day and maybe you've got on bell bottoms or even hot pants? dig it. On a side note, does anyone remember when 7-UP had those red dot guys with sunglasses- maybe they were called the cool spot?? something like that? We were obsessed with drawing those in elementary school.

Afterward we grabbed lunch and Marjie took me to a very cute cupcake shop- my favorite part was that they had swings for you to sit on at the "bar". It was a good morning and I think the next time we hang out I'll have to take her to what has been my go-to cupcake place.

kites at the lakefront

Late Saturday afternoon was spent at the lakefront with James. It was a bit windy, so out came tons of kites! It was pretty fun to watch...I actually accidentally took a video..




We had a nice walk and then headed back home for beer, pizza and the Bulls game. I can watch baseball and basketball, and actually enjoy it (with the right company). Sadly, they played kinda sloppy and lost. But it was a fun lazy evening with lots of laughing.

  1. Oh my gosh, I *should* have gone to the swap! That picture alone is proof! As for cupcakes, I've always wanted to go to Molly's for the swings, ha! (I'm a fan of Mandy B's on account of the paint colors in there, which are all so pretty.) And I love the kites! That inspires me to get out to the lake while the weather is nice - you're right, time flies by so fast. I feel like just yesterday it was snowing!
