Happy Monday. It's that time of the week where I unashamedly tell you about the things I like. Enjoy.

1. Green leaves.

I sort of touched on this in my last post, but there is something special about spring in that it kind of comes out of nowhere. One day your confused on how many layers you should be wearing, and then a few days later you walk outside, take a deep breath, and realize there are flowers all over the place. As a result I've spent some quality time in my hammock this week, but shout out to the people whose allergies are really terrible during this time of year. I'm sorry deep breaths of spring aren't as enjoyable for you.

2. My cozy plaid shirt

This shirt is magic, I have no idea where it came from, but I love it. Every stripe of it's oddly coordinated color scheme of flesh tones and smokey blues. Its super cozy because it's not a flannel material, it's almost a terrycloth sort of fabric. Whatever it is. I heart it.

3. The Divine Comedy

White free range chicken, tomato, mozzarella, and pesto sandwiched in a rosemary bagel. There are few meals that I crave on a regular basis, but this is one of them. Just in case you were wondering, I'm always up for a Divine Comedy from The Phoenix. So you just say the word and we'll go.

4. Society6

Have you ever wanted a pineapple patterned phone case that was designed by a really cool person? I know I have. Everyday. You can now purchase things like phone cases, t-shirts, coffee mugs, throw pillows, and yes, even leggings with my designs on them, and I'm probably way too excited about it.

5. Fruit Stands

I really wanted peaches last Thursday, and every spring/summer there is a local fruit stand near my house that always has the best peaches. Unfortunately I jumped the gun a little on the whole peach wagon because they aren't in season for a few more weeks. I did buy a couple tangelos though per the suggestion of the fruit stand attendant, and they were delicious.

So just FYI, tangelos are in season.

6. Unexpected flower crowns

I think it's a really magical thing when you capture the undeserved affection of a child. Myself and my friend, Denton had to drop of our ministry truck at another local church. We were greeted by two women and a little boy, probably about 3 years old. When Denton began explaining the ins and outs of the truck to the women, the little boy got really restless for his mom's attention. I looked at him and asked him a simple question, "Do you want to make a flower crown?" And to my surprise... It actually worked. We made crowns, and caught ladybugs while he explained to me a very rough interpretation of Star Wars. It was precious.

You can't just buy your own flower crown, some things in life must be earned.

7. Dimes

I had a very long internal struggle over this dime I found in the Barnes and Nobel bathroom. I ended up leaving it on the bathroom floor for someone else to have an internal struggle over.

I like them because they are small and really shiny. There's really nothing else to explain here.

8. Unexpected Upgrades

On Thursday I went to the premier of the Avengers: Age of Ultron. My brother bought the tickets and all I had to do was show up. So naturally I thought it was just going to be your normal movie theater experience, except this time I would be forced to sit next to one complete stranger (sitting next to strangers in movies is one of my least favorite things). When we walked into the theatre neither of us were expecting to have these awesome seats to enjoy the movie from. It was wonderful. Oh and the movie was pretty great too. And brother sister time was pure gold.

There's always that guy. Props to him... Props to him.

9. Coloring

It's been a really busy week, filled with lots of reasons to celebrate. So part of my weekend was filled with celebratory banner making with some awesome and precious kids that I watched over the weekend. We killed it. They looked great.

10. School plays

I made a trek out to Skaitook to see my sweet friend Kate's play. Normally when you go to see someone in a play they are a character, or have a solo, or something like that. Kate was in the play, she was Wendy's daughter Jane at the end, and she rocked that part. However, when she wasn't acting on stage she was playing the music for THE ENTIRE PLAY. I was so beyond impressed at, and proud of, this 8th grade rockstar. Also Peter Pan always makes me happy.

I now want to see an epic rap battle of history with Peter Pan vs. Captain Hook. I feel like there is a lot of material there.
