I'm thinking of starting a new/different blog. maybe on a wordpress.
there are a few reasons: 1) I just need something new, but not posting
anywhere is kind of strange...i like having a place to share my
musings-even if no one reads them, 2) "the browser we detected is
unsupported and may result in unexpected behavior." ~little notice at
the top of my window. that doesn't sound too promising and I really
don't feel like downloading and getting used to a new browser. firefox
works just fine for me. 3) (which is really the same as #1 only further
explained) i am ready for a change in my style of blogging. i realized
the blogs i like to read are way different than the kind i have and in
order to completely change i feel like I need to completely change my
blog. also, since life is pretty much all about give and take and i
thought i might try my hand at "giving" seeing as i've done a lot of
"taking" in the blog world. who knows? maybe some lovely people will
want to take part in a new adventure with me.
So I just wanted to let you-whoever you are-know where i stand
here. i haven't forgotten about my blog and it's not that i don't have
time to post...i just haven't been writing like i used to and lots of
things are changing in my life and I think i need something new. we'll
see where it takes us. :)

"Warning" by Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other peoples' gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

more weather (lovin' it!)
last year i was singin' a different tune. last year it snowed A LOT and by this time I was sick and tired of it...but this year I think it only snowed twice (?!) and even then it was only a couple of inches. It's crazy how things vary from year to year-the past few days have been in the high 70s to low 80s (amazing!) and the daffodils are already blooming. it's crazy wonderful. sooooo i went outside today to find a little bit of spring for you guys, and here's what i found:
(sorry these didn't really load very well...they're not grainy and blocky like that in real life :)
lilacs! whaaaat?! it's not even April |
forsythia-this is crazyness |

it is a lovely day
there is a distant drum and bump of a basketball-it's lovely
there is a soft spring zypher blowing on my toes-it's lovely
there is dirt on my bare feet-it's lovely
there is plenty of sunlight to spare at 4:30-it's lovely
there is school work that is finished-it's lovely
there is a dunkin' donuts mocha in my belly-it(was) lovely
there is salad waiting for me for dinner-it(will be) lovely
there is an open window in my room-it's lovely
there is spring in the air and it is lovely.
and
here are some lovelies from my day:
I hope you had a lovely day. :)
(was that enough lovely for you? {i bet that word sounds really weird by now, but hey, pictures and words in one post on a school day, what?!?!?!})

EMPTY coffee...so yum |
little red wagon |
random crate on our porch-it's kind of awesome |
laundry on the line (it would be lovelier if they weren't winter sweaters, but still..) |
because bare feet are INFINITELY better. |
I hope you had a lovely day. :)

tears
i keep thinking of things i need to remember for next year
like
to bring a pair of socks to change into after the games
i always forgot that this year
and then i remember
there isn't going to be a next year.
i am graduating.
and my heart breaks a little more
