spring-ish-ness



life is funkish right now.



it's funky like people i love are going through tough times...people i so love and cherish are in limbo...limbo is a very very weird place to be.

it's funky like benji is totally trained but peed on the kitchen floor yesterday - not like had an accident, but funky like he dropped trough and peed on the JUST WASHED floor. - and then on the deck three more times - and.i.did.nothing.about.it...





*(i was coming up from taking some flower pics.... - he swore he didn't do anything as i snapped this pic...)







it's chaos like one minute i am so low down i can't see past my big toe, and the next benji and i are laughing so hard we are crying.....


it's chaos like i have to hide in the bathroom and LOCK the door if i need to have a phone conversation....yes, with water running to drone out the fussing...


it's funkish like i finally got the tattoo on my foot i have been dreaming about forever, and i so hearted the whole experience, and am still STARING at my foot because i still can't get passed that i actually DID it.  *and i wanna do it again....who AM i?? and how good did it feel to step out of my life for a few hours and hang out at tattoo studio....with adrenaline flowing and nobody talking about sports and clubs and report cards and and and...

there is SO MUCH good and so much CRAP flowing around these parts that i can't grasp just what it is supposed to mean....

it's insanity people. i am telling you.

life is just a little funkish right now people, and i do not know what to do about it.


i gotta tell you folks, it's tough to keep a blog when sometimes i can't get out of my own way....

give-away*

hi folks...

i am in a FUNK.  it is time for spring, and even though i wake up on the snow dusted mornings and marvel at how pretty the trees look, and how peaceful the world appears with a fresh coat of snow on the ground - i am gonna be straight, the second i set foot outside in the cold - i am DONE.

i want to go outside.  i want to play outside.  i want to listen to the kids running around with fresh air infused cheeks, and hear the birds chirp.  i want to watch the garden grow and open my windows. 

this winter has been emotionally draining for many many reasons, and while we are still plugging away here, and not loosing sight of the big picture, and still lovin' up on each other every day....we are just ready for some *FRESH* air....

so, a dear friend asked me to participate in a give-away, and i was just tickled, as we will be giving away a a beautiful springy picture to refresh your soul, and a COZY short warm scarf to keep you warm while we are WAITING for spring to come....
