This is so freakin fun, and I don't even know what it is that's fun. Make sense? Probably not. I'm not concerned. What I am concerned about is the amount of time that stands between now and DINNER. How far away it is! I'm famished. Anyway.... dudes! I'm close. Its like someone is feeding me cake batter ice cream in the sample spoon from a Gotta Have It bowl. .... its just there, on the edge, this totally rad thing where I may, MAY , be ready. I'm going to BURST! and its AWESOME! Is this like, how, it, can, be, for the rest of time?! Or perhaps on more of a consistent base than it has been the last EIGHT months? Its a really deep pool and I know how awesomely rad it is, but I'm still just... baby steps. buh-bay-bay steeps. But you know what's cool, its like all the sudden you wake up and you're bear hugging the crap out of life again. It's like hey, wanna have some fun? We can have some fun :) i love fun. will you love me because i love to have ...

Eff the neigh-sayers in your life, don't listen. If they're all you've got, come talk to me, and we'll make it happen. I believe in you. You can do it.

and in an instant it opens nevermind a warning slowly it pours out, over the edge spreading warm and shy, comfortable, familiar quitely, looking up, a small smile forms will you please come stay with me for a while?

The pay off is greater with long-term commitment. That’s the beauty of it. The reward. The idea. Can someone say scrooge? perhaps it comes after a year where my departure for en zed was approaching. and i could have been gallivanting off to Nepal this month but no, instead I decide to seriously consider opening a Cold Stone and thus dedicating my general finances and life towards it for the next five years of my life. Bye bye world travels for the time being. In five years? HELLO AFRICA. Yes, I would LOVE to teach you how to start your own company of such that you are so passionate about? Passion you ask? Lets write the definition! And while we're at it, lets shake hands with adversity and tell him we're about to fuck him up. I'm here for you. I want to see you smile. I want to see you succeed and achieve those dreams! But for now, I want to see many Helena-ites carrying around little red Cold Stone cups filled with their favorite creation. P.S. we make cakes too, and I...

all i want, right now, is a huge art studio. yes, at 11:41 in the night the best thing I can think of is living in a place all by myself with an art studio. I would turn on the lights, the music, get into a small tank top and some underwears, be bare foot, and just paint paint paint. With no inhibition. I'd need lots of supplies, and money because I am going to get after it. Dang I could paint for hours right now. The room would be warm the music Citizen Cope/Ingrid Michaelson-ish and massive amounts of painting. I've got a half bottle of wine, an excellent dinner and a few after dinner drinks in me and a most amazingly fun make me smile laugh giddy giggle text in my phone and relationships with friends that feel the most alive than probably they have in a year, that I just can't stand it folks. As fulfilling as it is to pound on my click click keyboard indian style in the middle of my comfy white bed with the bed light on, it aint enough. :) I'm beaming at the screen r...

Often times a dog walks through our doors that absolutely breaks our hearts and Toby is definitely one of those dogs. There is such an air of sadness about him - some indistinguishable nuance that just tugs at your heart strings. The look in his eye ... the way he carries his head ... just makes you want to hug him and tell him it will all be OK. Toby was a stray and was found out on a ranch in the middle of nowhere - no one knows how he got there or where he came from. Local ads were posted but no one claimed him -- the family that took him in really did not want another dog but they took care of him the best they could and have had Toby since last July. Recently, they decided that this sad boy deserved a family of his own so called us and asked if we would do the honors of finding him that home which we gladly obliged. Toby adores being indoors - his foster family had to force him to go outside to "take care of business" and he would run back to the door with a...

give it a try! Kind of fun and the possibilities are endless. We had to do these as part of an integration assignment for Computers in Education. *fun*fun*

Ahhhhhhhhh nestled, nah, perched/placed in my seat at a new shop - Off The Leaf. I can dig it here. The atmosphere is upbeat (probably due to the jazz bouncing along in the background) and the best part is the windows FACE THE SUN. I can’t stand missing out on the rays! If a girl has to be inside (barf) and facing a computer screen (barf x2) it might as well be in a room filled with sunshine! It has to be! Its not coffee shop esque here. Its chill. Its campus-ey. Without the campus. You’ve got a friendly High School couple to your left obviously just enjoying the friendship, deep in humorous conversation, the upper 20 couple of dudes with Keen shoes, Hurley hats and Polos hunched over a couple of textbooks with their papers spread about; there is the father son duo right behind me (-:)), the kind and cute well groomed 17-19 year old reading a little Dan Brown (holla!) with his white in house mug on the table in front of him. More High School girls? I can’t place females, ...
