Sprouts!

man shoulders

I have man shoulders.  This makes it very difficult to try on and not be picky about dresses.  I get stuck in anything that isn’t stretchy or flowy.  I got stuck, momentarily, in two dresses today!  They were both adorable, and perfect for the wedding I am going to in June, but alas, my big ‘ol man shoulders ruined that for me.

I finally get to see The Avengers today!  Woo!  Joss Whedon!

Friend.  Friends.  Friendship.  I looked up the definition of friendship in my dictionary today and it’s a lame ass definition, it was something like, a person you like.  Seriously?  That’s all they’ve got?!  Unacceptable!  I must research and create a better definition for a project that I just thought up this morning, while doing my yoga in the nude.  More to come on the friend definition later.

I wrote down somethings yesterday that haven’t left my head in over three years.  It was very liberating and it made for a great day.  I didn’t like so much sharing some of the memories or thoughts, but it was nice to get them out of my head.  It was time for them to leave.  I also read through the first chunk of the story that Marcia and I are writing and it is SO great!  I laughed and giggled and thoroughly enjoyed myself.  We really should keep writing.  I find I am a much better and carefree writer when I write with someone, like this journaling back and forth thing, than I ever was just writing for myself.  I’m too much of a critic of my own writing.  It took my an hour to write an about me paragraph for this blog!  The whole idea of a joint effort writing coalition makes things so much more laid back and easy.  Yes there needs to be some major revisions and spelling checks and grammar checks and structure reconstruction, but all in all the story works.  It’s entertaining and well I like it because it’s filled with inside jokes and reeks of Marcia and I.

Herbs!

Rosemary
Lavender
Oregano
Basil
Thyme

yup

I wore my dress that I made yesterday!  And I enjoyed it!  At first when I put it on all I could do was pick out the flaws and huff and puff about it being imperfect.  As I wore it, it grew on me, not literally, I don’t have to power to create life leeching outfits!  But I ended up really liking my dress, and being very proud of myself for making something that I can actually wear and like.  Go me!

It also sparked a wanted craft day!  So that will be SUPER fun, when it finally happens!

I bought a new belt ( to wear with said dress) and it’s perfect.  While I was at Kohls buying this belt I bought several other things as well.  I got some wall art that was on clearance and a couple picture frames, one for me and one for my mom for Mother’s Day.  Then after we get home we get a Kohls flyer in the mail with 30% off next go round.  I’m thinking linen shorts and maybe a sun hat!

We also got the Taco Grande Pizza from Papa Murphy’s!  AMAZING!

Alas, I go back to work today.

I did however finish One Day and The Rum Diary, and I’ve just started Suburban Safari and Unfamiliar Fishes.  Wish me luck!

morning

Morning should be quiet. As little talking and noise as possible. So I might seem like I’m not a morning person or that I’m just a bitch but really I’m just enjoying the serenity of silence.
That will be my favorite part of my day when I have the cafe. Morning. Early morning. Early early morning. Just me and Max, baking and relishing the calm quietness of predawn.
Now, any pleasure I get out of my mornings is when I can sit and drink my coffee or tea while reading, writing, or eating. Sometimes, on special mornings it’s all three, or even better is when I bake. Like today.

Cranberry Scones!

love

I found love in laughter.
That’s not anything new.
If you can make me laugh, you find a place in my heart.
Love courses through me when I laugh.
A silly conversation leads to a realization that I’m in love.
There is no love without laughter.
Equal in power.
Laugh
Love
I want to laugh and love with you everyday, I want that!
Eyes are the window to one’s soul? No. Laughter is the window to my soul.
Make me laugh, love me.
I’ll make you laugh and love you forever.
