Three On Thursday

This week for Thursday Things I’m sharing three photos. They aren’t related but I do have something to say about each one.

First:

My brand new owl diffuser from Young Living. It was just released at their convention a week or so ago and, while it’s intended for a child’s room . . . I could not resist. The colors are perfect for our bedroom and it runs for 8+ hours on the intermittent setting and it’s just adorable. I’ve been using it every night with a blend of lavender and bergamot and cedarwood and it’s definitely helping me to sleep. I call that a win all around.

Second:

Why is it that my hair always comes out great the day before I’m going to get it cut? It’s like the hairs are saying nooooooooo . . . don’t cut us offfffff . . . we so pretttttty. Does this happen to you, too? In any event, later today things will be shorter. Not by a lot but by some.

Third:

Jackie. Because what’s cuter than a little boy in a bathing suit covered in sand? Not much, I say. Especially since I’m not the one who had to get him cleaned up. Heh.

It’s August first and, as Kym reminded us the other day, it’s the last full month of summer. Thinking about that makes me feel a little wistful but I’m determined to not give in to the summer blues. Instead, I’m going to make the most of this last month and today I am sharing Three Things I’m Saying YES To Right Now that will help me make the most of August.

Going sleeveless. I have a . . . thing . . . about my upper arms. They are most certainly not toned and they kind of . . . flap about a bit. Because of this I tend to avoid sleeveless tops and dresses. This is unfortunate because (1) I wind up with some awkward tan lines because I drive around the convertible so much and (2) it’s been very hot and sticky and sleeveless is surely the way to go. So, I’m going to cast aside my shame and fear and just GO SLEEVELESS whenever I want for the month of August.
Getting in the water. I didn’t intend to write a post about body shame but when it comes to wearing a bathing suit I’m definitely self-conscious. It’s stupid and I don’t like feeling that way and I have to remember that the only one judging me is, well, me. Often what happens is I get to the beach and I sit down in my chair and I don’t get up and walk around, figuring that way no one is looking at me. But guess what? Doing that isn’t nearly as fun as going for a walk on the beach or going swimming. I read something the other day that said, “you want a bikini body? Put on a bikini. Now you have a bikini body.” I certainly won’t be sporting a bikini but I vow for the month of August that I am going to say YES to getting in the water!
Enjoying it all! Seriously, I want to eat ice cream and lobster, drink rosé and listen to music on the deck, vacation on Cape Cod and read on the beach, drive in the convertible and all of the other things that will (sob) go away when the cold weather arrives. I intend to relish every bit of summer that’s left, just watch me!

First, because every blog post deserves a photo, and because he hasn’t been featured here for a bit, my most recent photo of Jackie:

And second, because my thoughts are all over the place right now, three random things for this week’s post:

Thank you all so very much for your best wishes and congratulations on Hannah and Mikey’s engagement! I loved reading all of them and the social media response on Instagram and Facebook has been outstanding, too. There aren’t any specific plans yet but I don’t anticipate a long engagement for these two. And, the idea of a backyard wedding has been floated. Pray for me on that one, friends.
I went and had a physical yesterday. It’s my first one in about 4 years and I was scared and nervous . . . but I did it. And the Nurse Practitioner was kind and friendly and didn’t judge me at all for ignoring my health. I’m waiting on blood test results and of course I’m convinced that they will find a million things wrong so if you could send some good vibes my way I’d definitely be appreciative.
I ordered a cricut yesterday! I’ve been toying with getting one for ages and a conversation with my friend Rose, plus the fact that they are having a terrific sale on machines and bundles right now, pushed me to just.do.it. I’m very excited about making all the things, especially things for Jackie as well as labels for essential oil roller balls and more. It’s all a little overwhelming but in a good, fun way. Oh, one more thing . . . I haven’t told Dale yet so let’s just keep this between us, mmmkay?

And those are my three things for today. Happy Thursday, it’s almost the weekend!
