ladylike tuesday

today i'm going to pretend i'm a lady who lunches.

the tops of my ears will balance perfectly over my shoulders, hip bones paralleled beneath.

ferragamo flats.

cornelia james' gloves

i will cultivate charisma and allurement.

and i will master the art of looking pensive, beautiful, and unavailable.

a tout a l'heure......

happy weekend

this weekend i need a roomy shirt. a long, loose shirt with stretched sleeves.

a shirt i can leave untucked so i don't fret about a stomach not sucked in.

sleeves to hide freakish goosebumps. whom appear even when doppler reads 80 degrees. warm (to some).

this weekend i hope to wear a mint green scarf of low blood pressure.

i'm going for a bit of a drive. happily. a treasure chest awaits me. i will gladly stay to the right of everyone else. listening to her, breathing in......

breathing out.

favorite and i will read. feel like i'm missing pages or worse a soul. i need an emotional socket converter because i'm not feeling anything yet, and (oh my) the story is sad. i read. unmoved.

{yet, i saw a pigeon in a parking garage wednesday night, and i boo hooed for 30 minutes straight, imagining he was stuck there away from his family.}

we're waiting for the next available bed at the local sanitarium.

my mind lately is one loud pinball machine. bang bang. bounce bounce.

i want watercolor emotions just for a month.....

winter dance

punxsutawney phil's shadow sighting says we're in for 5 more weeks of winter.

bring it on.

please.

tis the problem with living in la la land; where 64 degrees clads me in scarves, puffers, and hats with poms poms. i crave winter weather. snow days? i wish. the only reason people take days off here is to recover from their face-lifts.

yesterday, a temperature of 80 degrees beckoned all things bikini and beach cruiser.

i don't have the proper mood to match all this silly sun.

go away brightness!!! you are the mailman at whom i bark.

arf!! arf!! arf!!! grrrrrrrrrrr!

a nap is a nap

at this point a blanket-less, cold forest floor looks like a cozy, cottony haven for rest.

at this time (3:58am with no respite for 17 more hours) i'll take ANYTHING i can get.

signed,

sleepy

truffle love

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

they're here! my valentines arrived. my mailbox bouncing buoyantly on the block, unable to contain the cheeriness inside.

the truffle girls have gifted us with the opportunity to buy their magic.

the truffle girls: karey and mary. mary takes the photographs that swell pupils and unfurl shrieks.

and karey.

karey.

karey writes words that days later, abate, and finally settle in, to lumps in your throat.

now some of their "candy for the soul" is available for purchase.

there are two available sets of 3 cards. good luck trying to choose. they arrive in the prettiest glasseline envelopes, with an "xoxo" sticker. here are mine. won't they make just the perfect valentine's?

birthday party brilliance

we had a birthday party saturday night.

although, there weren't st. bernards standing in for ponies. alas. i did manage to get to a whipped cream, frosted flower for my piece of the cake (happy heel clicks).

this sweet, candy-colored short validates my point that mommys and rainbow sprinkles can make days brighter.

merry monday friends!
