not like-able things II


when my thumb forgets to be green.
(i do have a thriving section of jades. perhaps i'll save it for "things i like")


socks with NO matches.
how does this A.L.W.A.Y.S. happen???


cicadas that think you are a friend.


elm tree droppings!
these things ruined my life for a few weeks. 
i kept sweeping the back of the driveway and they just kept falling.
lost. cause.

luckily once they have ALL fallen. 
well, they have all fallen.

waiting for our arrival

over and over again, this theme rolls onward  in my life right now. i feel aligned, mostly positive, gracious and overall pretty happy.  there's been multiple times i wanted to sit and write this piece, but then there's this part of me that says "but what if things didn't work out as you said?" "what if you go broke?" "people will think you are tooting your own horn..."  but, honestly why do i care? this is me and if people get something from it, great. if not, also, great. same reason for me not going to use capital letters here... because i don't feel like it. like it or don't. negative self talk is so self deprecating. we wouldn't let someone talk to us like that, but we let ourselves talk us out of EVERYTHING! this is a little tale and peek into our life.  over a year ago john left his comfortable job with good benefits (no, really the best benefits there are, kind of benefits). he could do this job with his eyes closed,...

i know it's bound to happen. i can't keep my little bird in a little (or big) bubble, but it surely sucks when your babe gets hurt. i'm not sure if this counts as stella's first injury. it might be unless you count the time my earring scratched her head or when i bumped her nose or head, but ok, the first time i saw blood from my pretty lil thing. i have been putting off clipping her nails.  i mean, i'm the one that is primarily getting scratches here so better me than her.  if she'd rather abuse me than so be it. i have filed them a couple times, but i find it takes for-ev-er and she is wiggly and doesn't love it, but i do it in hopes of her not imposing injuries on herself from her over grown, sharp fingernails. well, last week i buckled down and said "today is the day i will clip her nails." i was getting scratches all over my arms and chest - i probably shouldn't go to work looking like i have been fighting with a tiger anymo...
