Growing Up

These are the young women of my life.
I am so privileged to have so many wonderful friends and to have been in their lives for as long as i have.
This photo was taken at the first bridal shower for this group, and none of us could believe that we were already at this stage of our lives.
It's gone by so quickly.

As time passes I will continue to be flabbergasted at how far we have come.

Searching.

I need a job.

end of story.

relatedly...i miss You.

Things to look forward to:

The hilarity of my job comes in part from the weird emails we get.
Here are some things that my news room was notified of:

1.) 40th Anniversary of the moon landing! ("one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!")
2.) National Lasagna Day! (no joke, this is happening on July 29. Get yourself some!)
3.) Tomorrow is National Junk food day. (grab yourself some Cheetos!)
4.) On July 23rd, the Ice Cream Cone was introduced in 1904
5.) July 23 is also Mosquito day! (yay malaria!)
6.) July 24th is my favorite Looney Toon's Character's B-day- Marvin the Martian 1948
7.) July 26th is a Happy Birthday to Bert from Sesame Street
8.) And July 27th is Ian's favorite Looney toon's Character's bday- Bugs Bunny 1940

So grab a friend and celebrate! Good luck finding a lasagna day hat to wear though.

Things that make me think of you.

7 days.

Did I mention, I love you?

Poetry

Last night I was snooping through my room and stumbled upon a book of my poetry stuffed to the brim with loose leaf of poems waiting to be added.
I spent the later part of the evening putting the stragglers in and remembering where the poems came from.
Instead of a journal, the poems talked about the life I was leading rather than the activities from day to day.
I felt very nostalgic.

I found one that was just as applicable today as it was when i first wrote it in the back of my Math Notebook.... (Construction-insert here)
Though I feel more alive now then i have in two years, I'm just not inspired to write more poetry right now.

Just waiting for the creative spark...

10 Days until San Diego...I simply cannot wait. <3

Makin Movies

My friends are a rare breed.

For as long as I've known them, movies are what keep us occupied.

Ian got to be involved this time.

Yes, we were cops from the future.

I have a bazooka for an arm.

A new painting

He's going to be here on Saturday.
Can you tell i'm a little excited?
I love painting.
