conspiracy

yesterday i saw a turtle try to cross taylor-kidd in rush hour. he was bigger than a matchbox but smaller than a house. i was frightened for him, but oh so excited when i saw him make it back safely to the shoulder. very cute. the turtle reminded me of the time when i was a kid when we were driving to someone's cottage and came across a massive turtle on a country road. it was so big that it was actually blocking the way. my parents (for some reason unknown to me) decided to put it in the back of our stationwagon and take it with us. later, on the beach, my dad fought it with a stick. i'm pretty sure the turtle won.

the part of me that loves to plan excurisions has been delighted the last day or so. not only did i book our B&B for our one-year anniversary (26 days away!) in westport (we're staying at the cove country inn, and we got a room with a jacuzzi!), i booked our summer vacation :D since we loved our campsite at bon echo SO MUCH, we decided to go there again. i booked the same site for one week! neither of us have gone camping for so long before, so it will be a new and challenging experience. thankfully since we did some camping last summer we have an idea of what we have and don't have, so i think by then we'll be pretty prepared. i'm really looking forward to it. for the week of camping we'll take our BIG BIG tent - the six-person tent we were given that has two rooms. that will provide us with a bedroom and a living room :p on top of that, we've started talking about going to NYC for the thanksgiving long weekend. wwooooOOOOOoohhhhHHHHh. i'm SO excited. i've been to NYC twice already (and i love it), but in general i like trips and excursions - whatever they are. i can't believe it's june tomorrow. as far as i'm concerned summer has begun! it'll probably fill up and fly by, but i'll enjoy it while it lasts :D

all the small steps,
all your 'shouda' clouds.
