In my perfect world, it would be 2:00 all day long... At 2pm, you have the morning behind you, and the whole rest of the day ahead of you. The pressure to get things done and tiredness of the morning are gone. At 2, there's plenty of energy remaining and plenty of day left to … Continue reading Ode to 2 O’Clock

If You Give a Guy a Slipper…
My original goal for this post was to write out the story of what happened with our current roommate situation. Remember how we abruptly had to move out of our {7-week} Colorado abode? We thought we were in the clear, with a wonderful housing situation. It went great for about a week, and then one … Continue reading If You Give a Guy a Slipper…
The Rainbow Connection
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5_y0s-COl8 Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side Rainbows are visions But only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told And some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see Some day we'll find it The rainbow connection The lovers, the … Continue reading The Rainbow Connection
Travel
Wanderlust is what they call it; an insatiable desire to see, hear, smell, and taste more. More diversity, more picturesqueity, more depth, more generosity... More "culture." I could pick up and go at the drop of a hat. Or better yet, don a Panama hat. The getting there is as much the arrival as the … Continue reading Travel

She showed up outside in the cherry trees when it was adventure time, underneath the dinner table for sharing secrets, and in the attic when they were playing make believe with the dress-up box. Bettina's real name was Bethany, but … Continue reading A Story about a Girl Who Didn’t Exist
A Purple Crocus
Inspired by laying in a meadow of purple flowers... Becoming one with the flowers... An ant half the size of me crawls up my back, but just as quickly scurries on away from my body; A fuzzy bumblebee tickles my cheeks, searching for pollen; I slurp up the sun's rays, devouring them like a big … Continue reading A Purple Crocus
Confessions
Confession: I once stole a magazine that I liked from a doctor's office, because I wanted to finish reading it. (That's allowed, right??) Confession: I never ate a salad for a meal until the year 2012. Probably why I have gluten intolerance. Confession: My favorite genre of movie is sci-fi thriller, or action/adventure, but I … Continue reading Confessions
Kermie
Fuzzy and green, to the color there isn't quite a sheen; Lacking luster, most gloss over the gleam. Iridescence doesn't mean much when the only one looking over you is the moonlit night: It's not easy being green
