Joyful Whimsy: Five For Friday & The Farmer's Market

Hi Friends!

Yahoo! It's Friday again--my favorite!! What's up for you this weekend? Jack leaves for camp tomorrow for a whole week (!), and John is playing in a two-day tournament. The girls and I intend to enjoy a girlie weekend together. Last weekend, the stars and the moon and the weather and my schedule all aligned and I actually made it to the farmer's market for only the second time all summer. At the beginning of each summer I promise myself I will head to the farmer's market each Saturday. But then real life tends to crash in, and I don't make it there very often. I love, love, love going to the farmer's market--all the colorful, fresh, lovely fruits and vegetables make for completely lovely pictures, and it's great for people-watching, too. Who knows, maybe I'll make it there tomorrow morning after I drop Jack off (fingers crossed!). Ready for this week's links? Enjoy!

1. Oh my gosh! I love the website, Emergency Compliments. Click on it if you're in need of a little boost. There are compliments for every occasion. Keep clicking until you find the one that you're in need of. Some of my favorites: "Your hair looks great today. It also looked good two days ago," "I'm not telling you what to do, but you could pull off orange corduroy," & "You actually looked super graceful that time you tripped in front of everyone."

2. A photographer in England captured a second of video of every day of his son's first year. The video is completely precious. Of course, I wish I had done this for my children.

3. This Guide to Interacting with an Introvert cracks me up. I am an extrovert married to an awesome introvert who loves his hamster ball (especially in crowded situations).
