What Would You Do

I had a thought the other day.

What would you do if you didn't have to worry about tomorrow?  Not in a morbid, this is the last day you'll be alive way, but in a you don't have to worry about responsibility or convention way...

I wrote a list.  On it are things like:

1. Buy a ukulele and learn how to play it.

2. Buy a ticket to Chicago.

3. Live on my impulses.

4. Go to a tanning bed.

5. Buy a Prada handbag.

6. Say what I'm really thinking.

What do you think would be on your list?

Scenes from Summer: Part Two

Scenes from Summer: Part One

This summer was crazy.

I’ve never had a truly classically-crazy summer, and I’m glad to have one under my belt.  I checked some things off of my life to-do list.  (Including but not limited to "wear Coco Mademoiselle regularly".)  I made money.  (Spent money.)  Had a nineties hit stuck in my head most of the time.  Got lost. (More than once.)  Had adventures.  laughed a lot.  (Cried a bit.)  Took pictures.  Ate good food.  Made some unexpected friends.  Wrote a lot.  Pulled all-nighters.  Watched the sunrise.  Let my guard down.  (Even if only a little.)

I feel like, as my old(ish) friend Mrs. Perry would say, this summer "grew me up."

I was, as my new(ish) friend Andi would say, "the bravest."

Oh, Canada

Welcome to...

The Stone Family Reunion Extravaganza/ Our Trip to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival/ Jaime's First Out-of-Country Expedition!

After we both had rather horrid days at work (which we took as a cue that we both required a change of scenery) Jaime and I began our journey to Canada.  We rolled the windows down, blasted some Joni Mitchell, and I began the usual round of hypothetical questions.  In the midst of an intensely scenic route around the lake/mad amounts of farmland, we spotted an extremely quaint farm stand.  Jaime immediately reversed the car, and we bought a quart of golden cherries.  Naturally.

Believe it or not, Jaime and I made it through the border.  (Although our car was stopped and we were questioned.  And, for some reason we answered everything in unison... so that was interesting.)  With some assistance, although none from a GPS (go us!) we made it to our destination.  The next day, we went to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.  We walked around Stratford, had dinner, and saw productions of Twelfth Night and Camelot.  Both were incredible.

The next day was the family reunion!  People came in from far and wide, and many an engaging conversation ensued.  (Not to mention a rather intense game of Harry Potter Scene It...)
