saturday seven

7 things that caught my eye
made me gasp
smile
covet
made me wish i knew how to play a guitar
made me want to grab a pen...
made my mouth water
and my heart beast fast...

1.  gorgeous red shoes how could not be happy in these shoes!

2.  a blog that i have read for a long time, but i wanted to mention her again today...
because her wring and photography never fails to blow my mind!

3.  and she also led me to number three...where i was mesmerized by her hands...

4.  i can't wait to see this movie...even though george has never been a favorite of mine...but...i'm fickle.

5.  and maybe i should make these to eat while watching the movie...mmmmm...caution..clicking on link will cause excessive mouth watering.

6.  how could you not looooooooove this?  the fact the one i clicked on was from say anything was the clincher...the second thing was that it involved many lego men...i'm hooked

7.  and finally...my newest addiction...i know you have probably already seen this but i have been hooked in a major bad intravenous DT kinda way...so felt the need to share...and hook others...

and that's my saturday seven...hoping to be a regular feature here in geekland...should i ever get organized...here's to hoping.

tuesday truths

tonight
i am blurry
and quiet
silent inside
thoughts have to be pulled out of me
{they stick like warm taffy}
my bones hurt
and my brain
is tired
thick and heavy
shiny molten lead
so much going on
so little down time
running on emptiness
fumes that sputter sputter
stop.

tonight
i am more of me than i have been in a long time
dark walk down a lonely street
red stop light blinking in the fog beseechingly
telling me to pay attention...
this is your life...
pay attention.

tonight
i sat and listened as other people's visions...
impressions...
perceptions of me
were reflected back to me in story form
and all that was expected of me
was to accept this gift
and say thank you
and i was blown away by the mirror they held up...
the version of me that i would not have thought
other might see
always thinking i am seen as i see me in my own
memory/mind...quiet, shy, rule follower, safe.

tonight
cracked me open
a little bit
and left me wanting more.

back to blogland...

yay!

we have the internet back!

i am exhausted...today was a headache in the morning,
writing morning pages at lunch,
quickly painting a sign in purple,
charging the camera, buying batteries for the external flash
in case the sun never came out...
getting lost on a dirt road,
photographing 13 very excited teens for their prom...
rushing home with wet feet from tramping around in rain soaked grass for two hours
to quickly get changed, drop the boys off at the pool
and get to the park in time for the next session...
then to get groceries
eat a little
edit a little
and now...yawning a lot...

i'm done out and it's only 10:03...
happy saturday!
