Tonight I went out to clear my head. Just to get some space. Two hours in my local big box store. I shopped solo for awhile, people watching, and picking up some items for the house;
two funky green ramekins {salsa?}
twelve white hand towels
silver nail polish
coconut lime body butter
and more...
{but I won't bore you!} :)
Driving home I ate an entire tube of fruit mentos. Yes, an entire tube. My Saturday night this week is, shall we say, rather tame. LOL
I looked up into the indigo black sky...dotted with stars because it was so very clear-and the moon hung low and large on the horizon. I loved how it was hammock-shaped. Like I could just climb in with a fuzzy blanket and watch shooting stars all night.
This song was playing on the radio.
I turned it up.

sea to sky sundays just may make you belly laugh out loud <3
A moon hammock sounds lovely..... We all need one of those once in a while.

Talk Talk, huh? Well, my friend, it is YOUR LIFE...and what a beautiful life it is.
Btw, can you make some room on that hammock moon for me? Sounds fantastic!

I would love a moon hammock too. It conjures up such a charming image:) Yes, sometimes wandering in a big store with some extra time is a good thing.

I love when the moon hangs on its back like that, like a Jazz Age photo prop.
Baby and I are headed to the big box store for some home improvement shopping ourselves this morning. But really just to browse the paint chips. No, I don't need to paint anything. But is there anything more soothing?

Whenever I hear music like this I think of you, in your wild child days..!

What a lovely mind image - a moon hammock. I love it and will never think of the moon quite the same.

Wow, I couldn't have named Who Does That Song if my life depended on it, but I sure remember them. Love the piano line in the second one. :-)

There is nothing like time to oneself dear Gillian. I hope you got some well earned 'me' time.

No! I didn't get too much time.
Hence no blogging really for me the last week or two.
I owe you some visits and my other friends too.but it will have to wait a
few more days.
For me, "time for me" is computer time and time out with my fleshy friends.
I've got a couple of nights planned with those "fleshy" ones this week, so
hopefully things pan out for me electronically too.
LOL
Love to you, enjoy your week!!!!
xoxo

Sometimes we just need those quiet nights and tame weekends to clear our heads and rejuvenate our spirits. And now you have the makings for a festive night and a fun weekend!

A moon hammock. You've given me something new to dream about.

I'm forever hanging around in the woods in one of my many hammocks, but I've yet to try a 'moon hammock'...
