"I love your skirt!"

That seemed to be the catchphrase of the day yesterday.  I wore a new skirt from Target (Merona!) and a matching Target shirt. I went to the finale of Purdue Energy Camp to see the kids I mentored give their presentations and then I went shopping.  For those escapades, I wore nude sandals... personally, I believe those are one of the best purchases I have ever made.  For Taste of Tippecanoe yesterday evening, I donned my cowboy boots. <3  Seriously, I feel fabulous strutting in my boots. According to my friend Mike, I looked 'very Texan'.  Yeehaw.  A young man almost ran me over (so many people), and then he turned around to say, "Love the boots." Awww yeah.  Which shoes do you like better?

Sandals

Gah! I love my boots!

Anyways, I went with a great friend of mine, and we had a blast despite random rain showers.  Fortunately, the weather cleared up in time for fireworks.  The fireworks show was fantastic, and a radio station played popular music during the show... fun! My friend was texting a lot, and I thought of telling her to put her phone down and just be HERE. And then I realized that it didn't matter if she was enjoying it or not.  I was in the moment, present in the moment. And it didn't matter if anyone else was.  Maybe this is what growing up feels like.  Realizing that you can't control what other people do but that you can take charge of your life. I was feeling contemplative, but now I'm feeling productive. Time to get some work done... homework, laundry...  before I play Ultimate at 3 p.m. Enjoy your Sunday, and compliment someone today.  It will feel great!
