Sketch Blog of the Day

half read

A couple of days ago I was near the checkout line, and couldn't help but notice a magazine that I used to buy every month. But since I'm trying to be frugal I had to quickly decide whether or not I should do it.. fork over the cash just to read the articles. I decided to put it back because I've got enough half read magazines laying around as it is, so what do I need with one more? Same story different angle but, I've read it all before and in my frugality I knew it was way past time to do without.

Thanks so much

for all the hugs and kisses,
kind words, and pats on the back..
What a difference your kindness
and a couple of days can make!

moving on

8-23-04
Today was bad news all around
nothing tragic
just disappointing--
but still I am sad
am trying to get rid of this little ball of anger,
here in my throat and there in my heart..

now I am moving on.
and right now I feel so far from home.

I wish I could speak it or write it..
but it's..
personal..
you know how it is here in blog land
you choose to keep it or let it go..
Guess this is one I have to keep.
not that I want to
know open secrets

As soon as I heard it I turned on my music
and let her rip..
the Scorpions..
stinging..
Cause I couldn't think.. only listen
and then I had to listen to something other
than what my brain just told me
that my ears just said.

but I'm moving on.. cause I like it that way..
don't like to stay too close to no problems for too long..
for way too long..
and right now I feel so far from home

I haven't cried.. but I think I want to
might make me feel even better
but there's not enough in me to make it happen..
to make the tears come.
I'm not a crier.. of life's "little" disappointments..
and doubt if I'm about to start now

Anyway, God always makes it better,
but sometimes in my humanness I forget..
and right now I feel so far from home.

It's a good thing God sees me
cause right now I'm invisible
cause it was a disappointing day..
..nothing tragic
I wish I could write it
but I am moving on
and I feel so far from home..

Nothing like

a new do
(hair)
to brighten up
the day.. the week..
months.. mirror..

total eek!

Tomorrow I'm heading out to the salon.... A place I haven't been since * March* !eek! Seriously, you'd eek too if you were me.. even eek if you saw me, because my view in the mirror is getting scarier each day. I can't believe it's been ... 5 months.. since I eeked in there... on my last trip.To think of it makes me cringe because one of my resolutions for 2004 was better hair care and am obviously having trouble with that one.. so resolutely troubled by it all. The weather forecast for tomorrow isn't pretty, but let's hope I am.. because I've definitely had my share o baad hair days.. lately. !eek!

Three in a Row

Wow! I've actually posted 3 days straight. Last month I didn't even post 3 weeks straight. Guess I was loathe to think about writing.. Guess I forgot how good it felt to write and draw for friends and strangers.. but I hope my blog buddies and friends are back and I hope the strangers stay for long cause I am back and ready to blog.

bAD Cookies

This summer I have been hard pressed to pass up a carb, a cookie.. or two . They just glide right down into my tummy and I'm hoping they don't land on my hips.. So far -- so good.. I guess maybe I am flying just under the carb to cellulite radar. And if you're wondering if there's anything *badder* than a cookie (in carb land).. yes.. a donut. But let's not go.. there!

a way

Okay.. so summer vacation is almost over.. just gotta make it through one more weekend of summer.. and I'm still just waiting for some creative time to kick in so I can be a way more regular blogger.. as opposed to away.. once classes are back in, I promise to have more free time to write and draw in an uninterrupted realm of just. creative. stuff.
