things i wonder about....

....if i'll ever get tired of watching blaine sleep.
....if'll i'll ever be dedicated enough to do the following;
..write a novel
..learn another language
..get my degree (in what, you ask? i don't honestly know :)

....if i'll ever want to exercise.
....if i'll make someone else's life better because i've been a good friend.
....if my dream of living as the amish will come true.
....and if (i know, i know...a direct contradiction to my previous "if") i'll ever learn how to ride a motorcycle.

Here are some excerpts from my current read that I found amusing...

Odd Hours- Odd Thomas, self-narration; When I peered under the table, I noted an eight-inch-diameter drain with a slotted grille. Considering that Magic Beach had no history of floods, I supposed that this design feature facilitated the hosing-out of the room after unfortunate accidents.
This is one of those sobering circumstances in which my overheated imagination, if I were not careful, could cause a portion of my cerebellum to melt down, and set my hair on fire. I counseled myself that I remained in the United States, which was not Cuba Venezuela, or even Mordor.


Again, an Odd Thomas self-narration; Taped to the walls were charming drawings executed by children of various ages, all featuring a smiling bearded man in white robes, who I assumed, because of his halo, must be Jesus. The Son of God, inadequately but earnestly rendered, was engaged in all manner of tasks that I did not recall being recounted in Scripture.
Jesus with hands upraised, transforming a rain of bombs into flowers. Jesus smiling but shaking his finger at a pregnant woman about to drink a bottle of beer. Jesus saving a stranded polar bear from an ice floe. Jesus turning a flamethrower on stacks of crates labeled CIGARETTES.

putting 2 and 2 together...

..all by himself! He hasn't been able to build a car, motorcycle or airplane yet but he'll get there some day soon. I love watching him put his imagination to work~

workshop fun....

This past Saturday, I had the extreme good fortune to attend a writer's workshop. That would have been a lot of fun in and of itself. But two authors that I really love and respect put on this workshop....amazing! If you haven't read it yet, Fablehaven is a really neat series definitely worth digging into. It's classified as a young adult novel but is a good read for any age. Brandon Mull was very funny and kind (I got him to sign my book, hehe). And if you are any kind of science fiction fan at all, you will probably have read Ender's Game. Wonderful novel (as well as series). I felt so blessed to have been able to participate in such an event. What a lucky girl am I!!

ps... i don't know why one picture is bigger than the other...my post looks top-heavy, lol.

easter sunday....

Happy belated Easter everyone!

glam, glam, glam!

Have you ever been watching a movie and see an outfit that just speaks to you? I wanted to highlight some of my absolute favorite looks. Please enjoy and feel free to share you own cherished ensembles!

PS I realize that 3/4 of these pictures are of Audrey Hepburn...believe me, it makes sense. The pictures are from the following movies; Sabrina, National Treasure and Funny Face.
