sunshiiiiine... on my shoooulders... makes me happyyy... [and a few other broken record sentiments!]

after days and days of rain this last week, the sun finally decided to come out yesterday afternoon!! and gosh darnit, had i known it was going to be so gorgeous, i'd really have made plans to ride my horse, but after a week like this last one, i'd kind of just given up and gone into rain mode. you know, rain mode where you go on an absolute tear inside your house, rearranging things and painting things and baking things, and cleaning things up only to make an even bigger mess in your whole process!
so, maddalena and i ended up at the farm after running errands yesterday, and it was just such a pleasant surprise when the sun finally popped out and cast its golden beauty on everything in sight. my, my, my, i don't know exactly how it happens, but there is really no place to watch the earth turn golden quite like our little farmy farm. gets me every time!
and i know. i know i know. i am a broken record. that's me. brittany. i love the farm. i love sunsets. i love coffee. i love my horse. i love maddalena at every single age we get to. i love cuddling. i love being awake and not sleeping but help i'm tired a little. yep, there you go! brittany p. s. b., nutshell style. and it totally won't stop because i just can't help it!

to be honest, indulging in my happiest things is my favorite part of life, and on days when i feel like i just can't do it, i really just try to keep to myself, because the last thing i want to be is a spreader of my own negativity, you know? negativity can be so poisonous, and there's a time and place for venting for sure, because i mean, we totally have ants taking over our kitchen and also a handful of places leaking water in when it downpours... but life is still good, and it's really important to me to focus on all the little wonderful things that warrant heart and smiley emoticons. <3 :) and also, un-backspaced exclamation points!!!! ahhh, that feels good!
but okay, so, while we're on the topic of things i have already said 9 million times... i'll just go ahead and say that our mini-human here is pretty much kil-ling-it this week in the awesome and amazing department. she is joy wrapped in heaven and doused in the finest of diamond sparkles. and i know all my i love yous and you're the bests are probably going to start driving her nuts in about 3 seconds... but i have to. i cannot help myself. plus, i'm both a chronic savorer, and also totally aware that for every day of diamond sparkles, there's a day where i'm pretty sure she's turned the title "mommy" into her own personal swear word. ;) girl keeps me on my toes!

so anyway. to sum up, yesterday was thursday, la la la, life is good. happy weekend! i have big plans to put on my bathing suit, sit in my backyard with my book and baby, and party like it's june 2014... because today is fabulously warm, and tomorrow will most definitely be october 2014.

ps. john denver came on in the store we were in yesterday, and man did that just complete my vibe!
