Toasting the perfect marshmallow over a hot campfire.

To add on to that: Roasting the perfect marshmallow over a campfire and eating it straight off the stick, especially if it's a real stick. 

I'm gonna do a bunch that I love from Lake Michigan because we're going on Saturday and it'll be our fourth year and I'm SUPER EXITED. So here goes:

That feeling you get when you stand in the sand at the edge of the lake but it looks like the ocean and the tide laps against your toes and buries your feet in sand and you just watch the sun set and how far the lake goes and you suddenly feel so small and insignificant....aaaaaaahhhhhh.

When you finally put the money you've been saving all year to use at your favorite shops you visit every year and the owners know you and you go back to the rental house with all this junk, but it's AWESOME junk. Bags full of awesome junk. 

The feeling when you've been to the beach and go home and take a long, hot shower, and just getting all that sand off your body, oh my goodness, it's just the best feeling.  

That first day when it's hot enough to swim in the lake without freezing your butt off the whole time. 

That satisfactory feeling when you eat the pizza you haven't had in a year but remember like yesterday because it's so good even if it isn't in your state. 

So last year my brother and I did this crazy thing where we stood perfectly still in a display window of a T-shirt shop and everybody walking outside stare at us, and a lot of them thought we were ACTUAL mannequins, and then we would make a tiny move, or blink if something, and they would jump back and we could see them talking to their group and pointing, and then some of them would make funny faces trying to get us to smile. It's just the best feeling...XDXDXD

When you buy yourself all the gourmet chocolate you want even if it IS overpriced.  

That's all for now.

Drawing for five hours straight. Especially something where I have to look up an anatomy reference; I always learn something and it's so, so fun. Just the light and ink and graphite and paper and the slow creation of something beautiful. Also, surprise giant thunderstorms while I'm reading something awesome.

Making bookmarks and leaving them in library books. It's something I really like to do— I usually do a quote from the book I leave the bookmark in and a message to the reader!

Hawaiian Hurricane Popcorn! It's popcorn with mochi rice crackers and seaweed and it's soooo good.
