kitchen [---------------------|- - - ] 80% complete

we're still working, baby steps, on the kitchen. earlier this week we finally put up some spice shelves! these were super cheap at ikea. we weren't sure if we wanted to use frame shelves, or these, but these were so inexpensive that they won out. it frees up some space in the pantry and makes the spices easily accessible. we considered buying glass spice jars with white lids to make it look all clean and modern, but decided against it for now thinking it might look a little too sterile. (i know, i know, the difficult life-changing decisions that must be made.)

there's still a bunch of clean-up painting left to be done in the kitchen - hopefully i can get that done by the end of july. hahaha. ha. ha. *ahem*

ha.

lazy summer nights

all this summertime heat makes my yam a very lazy kitten. she likes to cuddle with you under a blanket, if you'll let her. her adorable gentle paw will gently tug at the blanket you lay beneath; that's how you'll know she wants to keep your belly warm.

MICK-ann-NO-pea

erika and nick took me to micanopy on thursday - their historic downtown area consists of a few dusty antique shops and crowded, overflowing bookstores. it was quite easy to get lost amongst the stacks and the bins of postcards. it almost felt like savannah with all the spanish moss and lack of palm trees; sometimes, old florida can be lovely and so very southern.

i have a renewed drive to explore the area around tampa a little bit more, with anthony's company. if i remember, i'll take my camera and bring you along.



we had lunch at blue highway, got gas next to cafe risque and drove through their old cemetery.

and that was micanopy. not much, but really wonderful for a hot, lazy afternoon.

of margaritas and missteps

spent part of my vacation week in gainesville, visiting friends and drinking pitchers of beer and margaritas.

ummm.... awesome?

also wrenched my ankle while bowling. sadly, not even while bowling, but while walking from the bowling lane to my chair.

it's healing, slowly, surely. let it never be said that bowling is not a sport.
