The new Trader Joe's opens over on Halsey.
I'm pretty excited. The only down side could be learning a new lay out. But then it could be fun like a scavenger hunt. Wahoo!

Summer rain
Does anybody else love the summer rainstorms? It has to be a favorite of mine. i really want to go out and walk around in it. There is something so cleansing to the soul about rain after a long period of sun and heat. i've got my window open right now, and am deeply breathing in my favorite smell.
It's funny because my roommate and i were talking about summer storms yesterday, i think it was yesterday...
So right now i'm on this super Neil Diamond kick. Now i say anything else, i have to confess that Neil was my first concert, i was in the 5th grade. i went with my mom, some aunts, a cousin, my grandma, and my great-grandma. It was a family affair. How's that for some rare liz facts: likes Neil Diamond. Now i must also confess that it was a difficult bus ride home tonight... Only because it took all that was within me not to belt out I am... I said at the top of my lungs:
i am, i said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Although 'love on the rocks' is has sentimental memories, as i used to sing that one uh, at the age of 6 "you find you're out there, walking in a stove" (it's actually a storm, not a stove, as really who wants/is able to walk in a stove). However it you were my mom, you would have tried logically to figure out how this played out in my head... (he was small, and it was all fire, no coils from the oven).

bright eyes and giggles
We got word this week that my brother is getting split custody with my niece, Ainsley. i have to say that i am so relieved to be able to be apart of this beautiful little girl's life. i am so blessed by her and Trinity. They are my girls, and i never knew i was capable of loving someone as much as i love the two of them.
They make me laugh, and keep me active (only because their favorite pastime is jumping on a trampoline, and they love it when you jump with them).
i guess i look at them for now as close to kids as i'm at right now, and they may potentially be the closest thing; so the thought of having to say good bye to these two little ones that i have grown to love with their bright eyes and little 'tudes was more than i wanted to be okay with.
As i grow i learn to lean into the grace and hope of God. i find that it is hard for me to trust at times, only because i am scared of the disappointment that follows unanswered hope. But i would rather live in a world of disappointments that lead me growing into who i need to become instead of fizzling out in a safe life.
