Slice of Life

I felt weird about the bikini I bought yesterday, so I went to Target and bought another bathing suit, which I feel much better in.

I took this while debating what color to paint my toenails.

When I think about you, I think about seventeen.
I think about my old Jeep.
I think about the stars and the sky.
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory,
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night.
