hey punkin!

and think aloud i will . . . thanks to amanda over at running with spoons :)

1. this girl is still feeling out of sorts. i am 100% aware that i have been an irritable little monster lately . . . and yet i cannot help it. grouchy is simply my dominant mood. it isn't so much that i am unhappy, but that i am crotchety. a crotchety old hag. get off my lawn!!

2. this has been by far my favorite summer. while the thermometer is still hovering around 100°F, we haven't suffered through weeks and weeks of the sweltering teens. we have had more rainy, true monsoon season days than most summers.

funny how it's been stormy all week,
but of course when i screen shot the 7-day
it's nothing but sunny skies for days.
mother nature's humor is wack.

2.5. stormy days have always held a deep complexity for me. i absolutely, hands down L.O.V.E rainy days. the cloudier and gloomier, the better. they make me want to curl up tight in my afghan with a steaming mug and a good read, right next to the window. my, how my knees go weak over the smell of petrichor. on the flip side, rainy weather brings me down. mood wise that is. always has . . . poo.

3. the "cool" summer weather has be dreaming about fall already. my favorite season of them all. turning leaves. pumpkin everything. the beginning of the holiday season (in my mind at least). chunky sweaters. boots. jeans. layers. scarves. and the return of my shows!!

4. speaking of everything pumpkin . . . yes. #gimmealldempumpkins #heypunkin! #getinmabelly

i am certain THAT day will NEVER come!

5. guess who sat down with a lawyer to initiate the name change process? that'd be this girl right here! in just a couple of months (due to lengthy legal blah, blah procedures), my first name will be spelled correctly across all legal platforms, and i will officially be a konwent. <---- his last name :)

eeks! seems so far away right now, but i know it will fly by in no time!
