Me in January 2011

Details of my thrifted dress
Last December I did a blue and black post here.

I combined song lyrics to make a statement
Rise Your Hand, Rise Above This.(You can click the links above to the see music videos).
My ode to Seether from December 2010 found here.

I feel a sense of security when...
when I'm with my love.
Even if we are lost, 
with him I know we will find our way.

*there is a steady income
*money in the bank
* all my needs are met
*familiarity
*I know what to expect
*a sense of calm and routine
* I see the mountains

They mixed blue and black on my friend's son, Little T's shirt.

 Little T was making sand angels and a sand castle.
I took these photos of my friend's son when we went to the park in November.   :)

Me in autumn of 2006

7.    What is your favourite take-out place?

Lately it's been  Jet's Pizza.

 I also like Subway, which was where I worked

when I first turned 16.

My orange vest is thrifted.

8.    If you had the chance to change

 your name would you? And what would

you change it to?

Not anymore, because it's part of my

identity.When I was younger, I would have.

 I never could decide on what name I liked best.

9.    What is the wallpaper on your cell-phone/computer?

The wallpaper on  my cell-phone is my nephew Speed Racer.

The wallpaper on my computer is a photo collage of my husband stretching and running on the beach.

my art journal page written in September 2012

Today, when I told my guy my favorite part of his body was his brain.

I said, "What would happen if you got brain damage?
Then you wouldn't be the same.
What would I do?"

He said, "Then you'd find a new part to be your favorite."

Yes, I would.

11. If your house was on fire and you had a

chance to grab only five things before

leaving, they would be…

1,  my laptop (it has all my music & photos)

2.  a mama remembers (a book my mom wrote in for me)

3.  the story my brother wrote me, before we moved

4.  whatever purse contains my wallet (driver's license, credit cards, etc.)

5.  my baby scrapbook with my mom's handwriting,
 baby shower cards, and wrapping paper in it.


Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I played playdough, with my friend's son, Little T. We also filled & dumped buckets of purple sand.

I took these photos last month.
I don't have any photos from today
because Little T, didn't want me to take any. 

This is my friend's son, Little T.

This is Cookie Monster,
in case you didn't know. 

Notice Little T's shirt. :)

Giggles & joy.
