Once you've found her, build your world around her.

Some things that I have noticed over the past couple of days:

Oil paint is in fact NOT the devil, and is quite beautiful when used properly. 

Also it doesn't EVER dry, so the fact that I always leave too much paint on the tray is irrelevant :)

When a child's bare feet are perched on top of yours for an extra inch, with water running down them from a drinking fountain, you catch a glimpse of what life ought to be like. 

I am lousy with my money. There's no pretending I'm not. However, I now have a gorgeous leather journal.

Meg Ryan breakup's are always like a conversation between old friends. That would be nice.

In Milo and Otis, when Milo (the cat) "jumped" off of the very high cliff and into the ocean, someone threw that cat! I wonder what they are doing right now, or if they ever tell anyone that they are the person who threw Milo off the cliff. That's one very unique fifteen minutes.

Dances With Wolves is one of my FAVORITE movies, I always forget it.

P.S. The other day I got punched in the face with a 5 year old's cast. Yes it was intentional. And YES, I can tell people that I've taken one to the jaw before.  

With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied.

there are many beautiful things about this world.

if we counted them all up into one great list, I'm sure it would be long enough to do something great, (or very cliche) like reaching to the moon and back.

A piano note is struck along side another, and their harmony tangos in the air and slides into the ear and delves into the most melancholy part of the brain. Like something magical, happiness occurs. Why is that? 

Beauty.

A flower that gazes at the sky will reveal its face to any passerby if given the chance. And when it sacrifices itself from the earth into the hands of its beholder, it is only time until its petals are crushed. It bleeds for you. The worlds first color.

And I am here. Here now, with curls and scars and lashes.  

Love simmers in everything that He touches; to be remembered by such greatness is validation enough for any life. And mine will do fine; it will do just fine.

sitting around listening to Daniel Tosh, who is not exactly inspiring but absolutely hilarious.

I'm not in the mood to log but I haven't in so long that I figure even if I do a mediocure post I won't let it fall off my plate.

A good bit has happened!
The girls are finally here to stay for the summer, it has already been too much fun to try and put into words.

WE JUST GOT BACK FROM THE BEACH AND THERE WAS NEXT TO NO OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There as a tar ball here or there but nothing life threatening. Apparently it encroached onto PC sometime right after we left. Hooray blessings. It really was a beautiful week, completely relaxing, and a complete reinforcer of why I love my family so much.

I stopped working at The Chimes, too! It only took me about two days to realize that the depressed drug addicts that have been there for ten years just weren't worth the extra money.

So I'm back at the YMCA doing day camp with the little kiddies. Happiness galour! Now I am back to little boys running around naked outside of the pool, trying to eat their shoelaces, and playing Star Wars :)




Corey is an investagator :)


This summer has thus far been beautiful, and not just beacause the air conditioner in my car is fixed! I've met some great people at the Y and am already finding them to be fantastic people.

Must go, watching a girlie movie with Sarah and mom; welcome to my summer :)
