Weave Some Wonder

What a strange week or so it's been for me. All kinds of emotions running amuck.
I seem to be sensitive to odd things lately. I cried after an episode of MTV's "16 and Pregnant." Ha!

Actually, I'm watching TLC's "Baby Story" right now... What's up with the bebes? I couldn't tell you.
I do not desire to have a baby, not one bit. Maybe it is just the notion of life beginning... I think i'd like a new beginning.

Fascinations, fascinations.

I feel particularly connected to the Voxtrot song "Kid Gloves" at the moment.
Yes, I'm a vanity whore.

On sunday I sat alone at one of our lovely state parks under a tree with a big pillow, a blanket, an old school lawn chair, my sketch books, magazines and a novel. I drew, read, slept. There were families everywhere, children screaming, kites flying, dogs barking, the smell of grilled things in the air.... it was so beautiful. so so beautiful. I could see the ocean yet I was lying on the grass (I'm not a huge fan of sand). I need to remember that life can be like this too. I need to remember a lot of things.

Some things I'll never forget :
1) My true love, Yellow. (baby blanket, tee) Where I go, Yellow goes.
2) The Lord's Prayer. Haha.
3) How to bake delicious banana bread
4) How to drive... Oh how I love driving around aimlessly.
5) my ABC's?

Okay. It's raining. I'm going to watch two movies tonight because I have tomorrow off. I tried iced coffee today. Soy is great. Don't forget to be a kid and eat at some donuts.

Cousin Abby... If this doesn't make you smile, you need some candy.

I Would Forget About Everything

I sleep, and hope to dream for moments like this.

Thank You Much?

Hi. Hi Hi Hi!

"Is it a dream? Is it a lie? I think I'll let you decide!"

That's from an Arcade Fire song... that I listen to when I run... that line always catches me, and I love it.

I'm about to clean up my room, or actually... I was until I decided to update, and now that I'm updating (in my comfy bed) I'm realizing how tired I am. Maybe I should nap. Working at an old school bakery = chronic need for daily naps.

I've been wearing these awesome socks all day. They give me magical abilities.



I also purchased these fantastical earrings while in Newport last week. Blurry picture, but the colors are what make me love them anyway.



I've been making these wondrous little drawings of insect/plant lady things... pictures to come, just not right now. I do however, have a very special picture to share... My beautiful cousin, who I've so delicately made anonymous.




And hey, it's going to be okay.

Sometimes?

All of the time.

To Grill is To Know

I spilled a couple drops of lentil soup on my summer bed. My summer bed meaning the futon in my parent's basement... it's nice and cool down here, like a cave. This is my cave. I called it "The Cave." Original.

Who works on July 4th? Oh... yes... me. Of course.

I feel primitive when I wear my hair in braids. I like this feeling. I don't generally like feelings. I do like the feeling of love, yes, I do.

What else do I really like? Well:
+ Miniature swiss army knifes
+ Soft pillowcases
+ Scattegories
+ Plain (old fashioned) donuts
+ Pancakes without a recipe
+ Not biting my nails
+ Chisel tip sharpies
