bike daydreams

The other day, Jake showed me this cool video:

Doesn't it just make you want to go for a bike ride? I would ride this bike...

...on this bike path.

What about you? Do you have any autumn activities you're daydreaming about?

Daydreamin'

Ok. So, I had this absurd notion that today: I thought I would write a "Theory Thursday" post (an idea I've been toying with), which really just means I was thinking I'd talk a bit more nerdily about what it is I do all day (ahem, teach writing to college students).

But, today is not that day, my friends.

No, today is not that day.

It is hundreds of degrees here in the Mitten. I have had a long week. I would like to just stop thinking now, if that's alright. Which is why I propose that today be a day for daydreamin' baby!

I propose we all stare at some clouds...

Maybe muse about cashing in our Roth IRAs and moving to a tropical isle...

...and once we're there, let's find a hammock and lay down. Wait, not just any hammock...it's so flippin' hot, we're gonna need a hammock in the water!

If all else fails, we can just play some ReRe and stare at the picture of the hammock. That might be enough to soothe my heat-wave-baked mind. Whaddya say?

daydreaming...

...of getting rid of this morale-sapping cold-and-cough combo that has got me tired, cranky, and red-nosed today. :(

...of filling one of these darling cups to the brim with tea...or hot water, lemon and honey...and sipping s-l-o-w-l-y

...of snuggling up in a cozy sweater like this

or this

(Maybe the stripes will lift my sorry mood!)

...and then, collapsing into a lovely-looking bed like this, and not getting up until I feel completely, 100% better!!!

hey, a girl can dream, right?!
