Blame it on the changes

Oh, what to say about yesterday other than it was, quite frankly, wonderful!  I went strawberry and blueberry picking in the morning and then headed over to Emma's in the evening for a chill night.  Josh was there as well!  We went swimming, got creeped on, promptly RAN away from the pool, took a walk, and ended up at Old Chicago.  We grabbed some eats (meaning...  we all shared mozzarella sticks, fries, and a GIANT cookie with ice cream), headed back to E's, and watched Pleasantville.

Favorite quote of the night: "I think it's, like, a good day to socialize outside..." - Emma

Today Emma and I are headed off to the MPLS farmer's market!  I remember going there as a kid with my dad and begging for the flavored honey packets that were only 15 cents. I'm excited to try the cinnamon one again - that particular flavor was my favorite!  Then I'll be off to work at 4 and work until closing.

I have July 4th off by nothing sort of a miracle.  I didn't even ask for it!  I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm going to take that day to run around with my bee row and friends.  It should be a fun time.

Finally, everyone should take a moment (or three or five) to appreciate Dashboard Confessional.  Before my iTunes play count was reset, they were in my top 25 most played and I have just rediscovered them.  I can't believe it's been so long since I've listened.

"My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?!
My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury,
Or wear as jewelry, whichever you prefer!
Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember!
Always remember the sound of the stereo,
The dim of the soft lights,
The scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers,
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late,
And this walk that we shared together!
The streets were wet and the gate was locked,
So I jumped it and let you in!
And you kissed me like you meant it!
And I knew that you meant it,
That you meant it, that you meant it.
I knew that you meant it, that you meant it."
