NaNo

"If I had slapped you every time you deserved it,       you would have lost feeling in your face years ago."           -NaNo Quotes, 2015

rain

"...and there were always those nights where she preferred the rain over the people.    because the rain would remind her of how she should feel       and people would remind her of the things she always wanted to        forget."             -r.m. drake 

love

Not only did I love her, but I could tell the universe loved her, too.  More than the others.  She was different.     After all,     I would be a fool not to notice the way the sunshine played with her hair.                -Christopher Poindexter 

Is it November yet?

Not only for the cooler weather, the chance to see more of the family, and (hopefully) the light at the end of the tunnel with all of the changes with the job, house, and stress that came along with it, but for NaNoWriMo.  I've been out of the game for so long it seems, but the ideas are already swirling and are sure to produce a beautiful disaster.  

Were you dazzled by the same constellation?

Happy Fourth

When a certain someone is a little older we will take the drive down and relive all of the events from this Fourth.  Until then... Happy birthday, America. 

the edge of the world

She always has that look about her,   that look of otherness,     of eyes that see things much too far,       and thoughts that wander off the edge of the world.             -Joanne Harris

One more week

I don't think that he could have been more honest: 

If it weren't a kids show, they should have called it "Stupid Why!" instead of "Super Why!"

It can be the most annoying question ever.  And while I secretly prepare myself for the time in Logan's life when it is the only question he will ask (years away, hopefully), I find myself thinking of all of my own annoying "Why...?" questions. ...Stupid why.

The scenic route is always the better route

Demons

I loved her   Not for the way She danced   With my angels But for the way   The sound of  Her name   Could silence my demons.      -Christopher Poindexter

"I Wonder"

I'm staring in my coffee cup at 6am...

Not a secret

It reminds me of that Tweet about how karma is throwing a banana the first lap in Mario Kart and hitting it the next.

PostSecret Sunday

I'm really looking forward to the new PostSecret app coming out next month.  (Giddy almost.)                                            In honor of its release, I think I'll be sharing some of my favorites from the original app. For today's: An emphasis on how life really is about the little things.
