5 really good things on a wednesday...

-after a week of relaxed rock band playing,
easter egg hunting, full days spent in pajamas,
breakfast at noon if you so choose, march break
fun and excitement for the kids...
we are back to our normal routine.
as much i love the break,
i am a sucker for organization and timeframes.
i work better in those conditions.

-longer days...sunshine...still cold...but brighter.

-eight pausing the rock band game so that i would
be sure to give him a kiss good-bye...

-knowing we just barely squeaked by in getting our
leonard cohen tickets....there were only about 12
seats left when i finally got through by phone...

-and this...this l'il bit of sweetness sent to me by the
adorable and oh-so-talented marianne of applehead.
i LOVE it...really and truly...marianne...you should
be writing and illustrating books....your characters
have so much to say just in their facial expressions!
i especially love the sock on the head page...
thank you for thinking of me!

my inspiration....

tally up saturday....the easter version....

hope your easter is full of hoppiness.

a late tally up...{week4}{life list con't}

i did not tally up on saturday
because i had
a really bad day.

and so,
i give you
the life list
part two...

• photograph all the churches and graveyards where i live
• take more time to drive and take pictures and write
• bake bread from scratch
• move to the country
• own a hammock
• learn to use photoshop
• go back to school
• be more honest with my friends, be more of "me" around them
• let at least one "real" person know about my blog
• write some "real" letters
• learn more about computers
• build a tree house
• make a deal with C and M {childhood best friends} to plan to do one thing a month together, each person can take turns deciding what it is...

and because i'm in a list-y kind of mood....
here are my 5 really good things on a wednesday...

1. the feeling that bills are finally caught up and the possibility of consolidation loan will really ease our minds....
2. hearing 8 belting out the words sweet little woman as 12 accompanies him on guitar...{rock band is still a major hit}
3. reading the constant princess....i can't put it down, actually, i'm almost done and ready to buy the next one...
4. sun...sun...sun...
5. the ease and comfortable pace of march break...no lunches, no early morning band practice, no homework!
6. BONUS...LEONARD COHEN IS COMING TO MY TOWN....AND I AM GOING!!!!!

sunday scribblings....hair

i have cut my hair
short and ragged
in search of myself
in spite of myself

i stare in the mirror
looking to be

i wanted to be

i don't know.

she won't look at me.
