today.

So I've blown the dust off this old blog and have decided to put a little more into it. I'll be turning 28 on the 28th of the month and, folks, doesn't that mean it's my golden year?? I say bring. it. on. I am feeling a tug from this universe that is the internet to add a little more input on a more regular basis. Whew. Ok, here I go! I'll begin with some pictures that I've taken lately.
wish me luck

family

So, already I am a slacker. I have to admit that I have not been writing everyday. I think that part of this comes out of my desire to sit and write in a perfectly organized/decorated office with a lovely lamp and candle burning... Alas, I have a one-year-old and a two-year-old. That pretty much sums it up. But work has begun to clear my little space out in the utility room. Yes, I said utility room. Don't worry, it's a big space and I plan on hanging a big pretty curtain to separate myself from the washer and dryer. I'll post some before and after pics at some point. For now, feast your eyes on my family...

Three Blooms

So, for those of you (Hailey) that are still following my little blog, I want to say thank you. As I am about to turn 26, and feel really wierd about it for some reason, I feel I need to make a resolution-list. I know, it's August. Nevertheless...
*I would like to practice writing every day. Even if its just a Haiku. This one is pretty self-explanatory.
*I would like to read one book a month for the next year. I guess overall I feel like I need to submerse myself in words.
*I would like to start a garden and eat something out of it by my 27th birthday.
*I would like to stop using profane language. This one may be hard.
Ok, I think this is a good place to stop. I feel I will be able to actually accomplish these odd little tasks if I don't pile on too many all at once!
And for those of you that are concerned, here's a little plant update.
It's coming back to life.
But let me be clear, I say it's coming back to life but to the onlooker this thing still looks terrible. Except for the three big, beautiful blooms that all popped up within a week. My plant has never had more than one bloom on it at a time. And I've not seen a single bloom on my brother's plant since I confiscated it over two months ago. I don't quite know what to make of it except that it makes me smile and my heart soften.
And I'll leave it at that.
