the scent of vanilla

khaki shorts, long sleeve tee, freshly dry-cleaned pea coat, keds, iced tea, umbrella down, skipping in the rain in front of the starbucks downtown. true story. hopped into my babes, started the engine, and this was playing on the radio. as i listened, i realized how honest to goodness elated and excited i was feeling. it was weird. i didn’t know what i was excited about, just that i was happy with myself. life can and will be richer than it already is, but i’m good. i don’t know where i’m headed, and it’s cool :)

ps. making a cereal box spectrometer was soooper fun, hahaha. i can’t believe what a difference it makes where you attend elementary, middle, and high school.

pps. the past two episodes of parenthood made me very teary eyed sniff sniff. but i still loved them
