reverie

I want a guy like this. If I could dim the lights in the mall And create a mood I would Shout out your name so it echoes in every room I would That's what I'd do, That's what I'd do to get through to you I want someone who is so excited by the idea of being with me that he'd do anything, think up crazy scenarios, try whatever it would take, when really all he'd have to do is ask . . .

I wanted to post something as I have been delinquent for the past 10 days, but all the words in my head refused to submit to any sort of logical order so instead you get to enjoy this comic that cracked me up. :)

As promised here's a little birthday related photo action getting my paint on at Color Me Mine yay pottery! (it's much darker now that it's been fired) birthday lunch at Red Robin (what? that's how I always dress) Sean & Mike reminiscing about when they used to be mannequins Dad & I fitting in with the mini golf scenery

I think this is my new favorite video. Don't judge me for laughing. :)

I met Kathy, my Bible Study leader, last night for coffee. I told her what had been going on in my life and how I was sad that my parents had left & that I was having a harder time with it than I expected. I told her that I really want to be a wife & a mom and that's been on my mind a lot lately. She had some very wise things to say.

I can't quite explain it and I don't know why it happened, it's not as though I felt particularly breathless before last night, but as I drove down Foothill Blvd in Sunland on a bit of a trek back toward my home one of the main thoughts in my head was, I can breathe again. Strangely amazing.

Monday we had torrential downpour which was lovely until I tried to drive home from work through streets that had morphed into streams. The last two days have been quite delightful though. As most of you know, the parentals are in town which has been fun. Today we went to the Farmer's Market in Santa Monica. We picked up all kinds of lovely produce- so many strawberries! And my parents bought me some flowers- freesia, which if you know me well you know is one of my favorite scents & the flowers are quite pretty. I got red & white ones so they match our decor and I arranged them in the milk pitcher I painted (with the intention of using it as a vase) at Color Me Mine. Someday I will have a digital camera and will actually post pictures of these things. But most of the joy is in the scent anyway, which sadly I cannot capture for you here with any technology that currently exists. If I had enough money I would make sure there were bouquets of freesia in every room of
