Are you pondering what I’m pondering

I jump
Pushing off with excitement
I float
The mound of colors come closer and closer until I'm enveloped
The crunchy, yet soft landing settles over my face
And I relax
Into the deep smell of earth
If only love was like my fall leaves

Peace

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

This was the first bean quote that cam to mind. Sorry.




Anyways.
Tomorrow is the Bean's birthday, so I thought I would share some, semi-recent, pics of her in all her glory.

We see this face way too much.

This one was directed at Eric, if you could imagine.

I will be dead as soon as she sees this one
And finally, the two us us bonding.

Happy Birthday Bean!!!!!!!!!!

Peace.

You sound hecka fun

Today was a long day at work, and I am pretty tired.
It's days like these that I have to remember the good old days, about a week ago, when it wasn't raining.
It was my first day back at work after summer break, and a little girl and an older boy got in a fight.
I first went to the boy to get his side of the story (there is usually two sides). He said the girl was pulling on his rat tail, I wanted to say "that's what you get for growing a rat tail," but I didn't. Instead I asked the girl if had, in fact, pulled his rat tail. She said "yes, but I'm really trying to turn it all around, and I don't think the boys are putting in the effort."
I couldn't believe this was coming from a five year old!
I can tell which kids pay attention at home, by what comes out of their mouths at school.

Aside from work, I 've been keeping myself pretty busy with school. But I don't feel like I'm learning all that I need to be.
I'm basically just freaking out about my SAT.
It really is all I can think about. I'm sure I'm going to do poorly on the test, due to my inability to do well on any test, as well as the fact that I don't know half the stuff I should know.
I AM GOING NUTS!!!!
Other than my fear of my biggest test thus far. I am doing great.
Peace.

Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug.

I know it has been over a month, and I am sorry for that.
After getting back from Germany i was just so tired. With the added pressure of getting things ready for school, I did not have the time, nor was I in the mood to blog or do anything else creative.
As soon as school started I was overwhelmed. I added another day to my work schedule, was taking college classes, and studying for the SATs. There was no time for blogging.
I have since got into the swing of things, as well as lightened my load a bit.
I am still crazy busy, and I don't know how much I will be able to blog, but I will definitely try my hardest to post more.
These are a few of my creations.
I LOVE this sweatshirt. The arms were a little too long. So I brought the cuffs up to just above my elbow. I think it gives it a more dated look.

I added on some buttons because I was afraid it was a little too plain.


This is from the bottom of a dress I shortened a while back.
I was a little hesitant at first on wearing a large bow on my front, but I now love this thing.
I hope this begins to make up for the lack of blogs.
Peace.
