loving

friends Kirsten and Sarah for making the trek to Arkansas just to hang out with me for a few days.

reading

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz is next in the TBR pile.

watching

the first season of Friday Night Lights, as soon as we pick it up from the library.

thinking about

the charts I started two months ago still aren't finished*; my friends' indie movie turned out really lovely; the RT Conference was surprisingly fun; I don't know how to define success; I keep forgetting it's summer vacation now; papercutting is fun and I'd like to learn to carve; maybe the blog needs a redesign; the problem with "write what you want to read" is that nobody wants to read what I want to read; picture books are more challenging that I anticipated; a spider just ran across my armrest; I don't think I can wait another month for the new Dessa album; I'm so relieved that the new National album is awesome; apparently I can't spell "relieved" on the first try; if car karaoke were a sport I would totally medal.

anticipating

an upcoming trip that will take us through several states I've never visited before. look out, west virginia.

wishing

for good news. for patience. for this summer to be cooler than the last one but not in an extreme-weather-we're-all-going-to-die-snow-in-July kind of way.

making me happy

pictures of people and places I love.

*Do y'all want to see YA deals again? I don't think I can take on covers this year, though I really want to. What else can I infographic? infographic is totally a verb be quiet.
