I miss you spring

spring? are you ever going to come back to me? I would write you a love poem, but I know that you would think that it was a pathetic attempt to win back your affections. I miss you spring, why are you cheating on me? I know you are visiting the southern hemisphere because you need your space and all, but what about me? I think this seperation is just an excuse you make to be with others. Without you spring, my world is blanketed in snow. Frigid winds bite to the bone, the sun is feeble and weak, hiding its face behind gray clouds, without you... its just winter.

My family

My family is the most important thing in the world to me. I was looking through photos today and feeling nostalgic.                               I wish that I had understood then how fleeting and precoius these moments are.

Green Tea Ice Cream

Green Tea ice cream is one of the best ice cream flavours I have come across so far. Yes, even though it is an ice cream and not a sherbert, frozen yogurt or sorbet it still is worth the extra fat and calories that ice cream carries with itself like an emo boy with mommy issues.
I drizzled rasberry syrup over it and shared with my hubbie, who upon tasting it said.."it tastes like grass, you can HAVE it". Fortunatly I only bought a pint of it, otherwise I might be tempted to eat all of it by myself, which I will probably end up doing anyways...

hehemmm

hack cough sniffle..... Its that time of year, so far I had remained relativley unscathed. A large part due to the fact that I am not in school this semester, and I havent been around all twelve of my siblings much. But as recluse and sanitary as I try to be, I developed a lovley cold/Larengitis combo that has left me hacking and coughing and reaching for the box of tissues. Oh February, how I adore you.not.

cupcakes and cappucino

Cappucino and red velvet cupcakes at my house with Sue today. It is lovely to sit and enjoy time spent with a friend on a saterday afternoon.
To be honest, really I was putting off for as long as possible the work.. the real reason I had her come over.. which was to help me wash the walls off. Our furnace has been smoking and we keep having to clean it out, and with the smoke comes soot. lots of soot that clings to every surface. So, we washed the kitchen and the studio/office. And it all looks so much better than before, the dinge has been conquered! But, overall, it was just really nice to be with a friend.

My latest obsession includes taking all of my sacred, pristine magazines and going through them with a cutting mat and an exacto knife... cutting out intersting shapes pictures objects, then pasting them into a sketchbook to create awesomely designed rooms with colors and decor that otherwise would have eluded me, as I am broke...
