5 really good things on a wednesday...

i don't have to think very hard to find
5 really good things on this wednesday
because
{oddly enough, given that we are in the middle
of yet another snowstorm...}
i feel like spring is coming!!!

when i left work yesterday at five,
it was still bright out...the sun had not set,
was not even close to setting, i still had at least
half an hour of
light...

{insert happy sigh}

so...
in light of
the fact that winter's grip
has loosened
just a smidgen
here is today's 5 really good things
on a wednesday...




  • these two crazy-funny endearingly-sweet kids...who make me smile no matter what the season...
  • over the halfway mark on the knitted baby sweater
  • apple crisp...i know this was on last week's too...but we made another one and mmmmmmm...so good.
  • flickr...heh...i know you guys know all about it but i have only really started to take advantage of it...and i love it!
  • a virtual conversation with a saltwater princess in which the possibility of meeting {for real!!} someday is discussed...so exciting!


apple crisp...mmmmmmm
can you smell it?

go see liz...she is waiting for your five!

SPC Tuesday


February 2008 077, originally uploaded by gkgirl.

today is tuesday
and more importantly,
SPC tuesday...

the theme is blue.

i don't normally wear blue or overly care for blue.

unless it is the sky...then i like it.

or freezies.

but this morning,
i was surprised to notice
that my pjs were blue
which went with the trim on the
baby sweater i am madly knitting
which went with our couch
and even my socks were blue.

hmmmmm...
i sensed a theme...
so i shot it.

sunday scribblings

it has been a long time
since i have participated in
sunday scribblings
but i want to challenge myself
to try to write more often
so why not start here.

the prompt was fridge space
and what it brought me was a little snippet
of words that don't rhyme.




and i am left within
the fridge space of your heart
cold and empty
with only the bare necessities
to keep me alive

the light
only comes on
when you
look
at me.

friday-i'm-in-love (with-the-everyday-stuff)

i originally took this photo as an idea for the
celebration theme
for SPC
but then, didn't use it...

i love the SUPER FURNACE...it was brought
into the office to keep me from (quitting) freezing
and it throws off an immense amount of heat
plus
i love the retro graphic SUPER FURNACE
and saying SUPER FURNACE just like that...
(yes...it is in this post that i admit how strange i really am)

my book...
my go-everywhere-list-everything-hold-everything-
in-with-2-rubber-bands book...
initially...i wasn't sure...
it wasn't my color...
and i had never used spiral bound before

but the pages make an endearing crinkly sound
when i turn them
and i have stuffed it with bookmarks and
printed off recipes
and song lyrics
and lists of lists with more lists listing lists.

and on the back, i have rubber-banded
my favorite-ist blank paper pad
sent to me by the cutest l'il blogger
so that i have no excuse not to doodle
(please excuse the dark pictures)

my constant companion,
my connection..
my plug-in
refuge
find-out-what's-going-on-in-the-world
or
hide-from-the-world
daydream
addiction...
that provides
my connection
to all of you...
