“From the caves at Lascaux and Chauvet to Genghis Khan to the conquistadors, from Dan Patch to Man O' War to Secretariat, we're all helpless against the power of a great horse, or at least a great horse story. For 30,000 years, we've chased them just to see them. We race them only to watch them run.”- Jeff MacGregor, ESPN
Getting excited about the Belmont... Go Baby Go!
A Few Things...
that I need to capture in list form before they run amok in my head and I lose my dang mind.
First, House Projects:
Since summer is creeping in, a lot of this list focuses on the yard & patio. Yay!
::Outside:
1. Resurface the patio
2. Buy furniture for the patio
3. "Landscape" the patio
4. Install a new single patio side door
5. Fix leaky patio faucet
6. Resurface and expand the driveway
7. Landscape the front yard (minus grass.. b/c sprinklers are a whole different headache)
8. Paint the front door
9. Organize the garage
10. Plant a veggie garden in a raised planter- Williams and Sonoma has some drool-worthy ones right now (if a planter can be seductive, this one is Barry White).
11. Start composting all of our organic waste
::Inside::
10. Paint the bathroom ceiling
11. Organize the craft closet and re-do the office
12. Buy a rug for the master bedroom
13. Buy a floor lamp for the master bedroom and the den
14. Find a cat-proof storage solution for our delicate barware and glassware
Next, Hobbies I'd like to explore:
1. Card and Print making (wood block, watercolor, embossing, etc)
2. At-home Kombucha production... cuz that stuff is cray expensive yo!!
3. Dog training! With my OWN DOG!
4. Candle making. This is another area where we spend a lot of cash.. too bad Slatkin and Co. candles are so divine (current favorite is 'Drenched Apple Flower')
5. And maybe one day, someday, I'd like to raise some chickens.
Now who's paying for all of this?!
Apparently I think I'm some sort of mega millionaire. Like I have many leather-bound books.
And my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Boo :(
The Bachelorette
Ruins all Monday night productivity. Every. Week. I shouldn't even make to-do lists on Mondays, I just set myself up for certain failure.
Packing for the Lakehouse
Me: So the clothes stacked on the dresser are the ones you want me to pack for you this weekend?
MacDaddy: Well, they're more like a representation of the clothes I'd like you to pack for me.
Me: ....
MacDaddy: Sort of like that, but with some of my nicer shirts.
Me: ....
Honestly.
The Munk & MacDaddy.. my domestic universe <3
Record Keeping
Very recently I've started scribbling in a little blue book that has spaces to write in one memory for each day over a 5 year span. Although I've been sporadic in its upkeep I find this book useful, and even imperative, for remembering the big and little moments of my day-to-day life.
My memory has never been stellar, and despite the book, I'm terrified of forgetting things. I have a trick I use to remember when something really special is happening- I squeeze my eyes shut tightly and visualize everything about the moment in my mind. Smells, colors, music, whatever, I intentionally burn it into my memory bank for the future, safely engraved there the next time I have a hankering to muse on something nostalgic. My internal voice admonishes "REMEMBER THIS ONE!"
Unfortunately, I can't use my trick for everything. Another problem- the minute details are all there, but the bigger ones don't seem to stick. I'll remember the way the sunlight fractured through the blinds in my childhood bedroom in summer, or how the Christmas lights looked like Gremlin eyes behind them in the winter, but I'll have no idea of the date, my age, my mood at the time, and so forth.
One of the reasons I want to start a blog, this blog, is to expand on this task of record keeping. Big things are on the horizon right now. Poised on the tail-end of 26, I have marriage in my future, babies, a career, family milestones, funerals, new homes, an eternity of bad days and a lifetime of good ones. I want to claim them.
Hopefully this space will help me remember.
