reflecting on various topics
Last weekend we celebrated my mom’s birthday and it was a really sweet time. We made cranes. I made dinner. I’ve been experimenting with browning ground beef or pork- pork is better, and then making a cream cheese sauce, with pasta. It made me really happy to see that people liked it. Alex made brownies.
I’ve been trying to find words that explain how I feel and the thing is that I’m just screaming inside. it isn’t polite, it isn’t mature, it isn’t compartmentalizable it’s not even carnal it’s like my soul is on fire, like I’m twisted and being tortured like my heart is shattered into pieces so small …
(sidenote, it is very difficult to photograph a can of crushed tomatoes!): —– No one else is really writing about this, so I guess it’s up to me. Crushed tomatoes are a marvelous invention. Canning is, really. I mean. What if all you could ever eat were fresh tomatoes, and when they were out of …
(pic from january) just felt like it was time I wrote about this. k. So overall, I would consider myself a big fan of sunsets. They typically are always a good thing. An excellent track record, that every time there is a sunset, it manages to be special, if we take the time to notice …
I’ve been listening to Millenium (Backstreet Boys) lately. It’s my go-to comfort music at the moment. It transports me, every time I listen to it. Sometimes it transports me to the past, and I remember what it was like when I first heard them in middle school. Today I pictured myself in an old-folks home, …
The past few days, the kids and I have been making valentines together. (cutting hearts out of art paper and water coloring them) drying added a dum-dum how they turned out (Also I now have Valentine Nails!) (You can’t really see it, but there are heart-shaped cherries on my toes!) Hope you’re ok.
Today the sun came out and it was so beautiful. It rained some but then stopped. I love water droplets on things.
(photo: backyard little flowers earlier this week) I see green leaf, white edge, pointy spikes, trying to catch the rain drops I hear thud thud drop I smell nothing. hence the cold my tongue wants real food my brain wants to fly I feel the keys under my fingers and this old chair and my …
I stayed up late tonight recording because I needed there to be something positive. This is How Can I Keep From Singing, arranged by Mark Patterson (link here to sheet music), Catharine’s Midnight and Starting To Get Sick Key/Version. My intonation isn’t always right, but c’est la vie. Also the ending is actually supposed to …
It’s been kind of rough lately. Yesterday I went to pick up the kids and there were latex balloons in the office. I was wearing a respirator and my car was closed, but I still reacted (I had parked right outside the open door). I went home, showered, and changed my clothes. Thankfully it was …
