Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 349

Today's Daily 5:

1. Sleeping late after a late night of stargazing
2. a really good breakfast on the back patio with mom and dad
3. painting with straws.  I seriously had so much fun, and giggled like a little kid the whole time.  I couldn't stop grinning as I sat there cross-legged, sucking paint into the straws and then flinging or blowing it onto the canvas.  The result is very modern arty, but it's colorful and fun, and I'm going to hang it in my bedroom at grandma's for a while.
4. weeding in the sun, with an audio book playing.  there's something totally satisfying about seeing the weeds disappear
5. the feeling of a great shower after accomplishing some dirty and sweaty tasks (see #'s 3 and 4)
6. slipping gently into a dozing nap on the couch
7. the smell of clean laundry
8. knowing it was a full, rich day
9. painting my fingernails and toenails with OPI Pirates of the Caribbean nail polishes - my toes are painted in Mermaid Tears and my fingers in Steady as She Rose!
10. going out for ice cream on what is probably going to turn out to be the hottest day of our summer

Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 348

I ended up being out until the wee hours of the morning last night, watching a meteor shower, and by the time I got home, all I wanted was my bed.  So, here's yesterday's daily 5:

1. getting some sweet deals for a gift I needed to buy
2. coffee with friends
3. cuddling a six week old baby
4. time with various friends
5. watching the sky in the middle of nowhere, enjoying the immense beauty of a sky uncluttered by city lights, and counting some falling stars.
