grey milk.

something has been off in this little head of mine the last couple of days.
i have always been sensitive to the world.... however, yesterday watching only 20 minutes of the "world news" on abc - and i feel like i should be committed.

the world scares me constantly.
my priorities are all fucked up.
i started crying over a pod of missing orca whales
before i cried over the school collapse in haiti.

the news is depressing.
so was the color of my milk
after eating a bowl of lucky charms.

i heart my job.

today i went to get smokes and came back with a six pack of beer. i am now blogging and drinking a beer from my desk at the office.

cheers!

week in recap....

last weekend was lash's birthday party and i suppose i was getting sick and didn't quite realize it or maybe i can step up and say that i can't drink like i used to at any rate, the night ended in vomiting out rex's car window... apparently i don't aim so well when intoxicated. so the next day, i had the worst hangover i've ever endured and then quickly realized, ya know i think i might actually be sick.

so, not only was a i sick, i was dealing with a very pissed off girlfriend who loves me but not my vomit, the embarrassment of it all. lets just say i've had better days.

i ended up missing most of work this week due to the ill. the last day i started reading "the secret lives of bees" which i've come back to off and on for several weeks.

i had about 50 pages i was ready to blow through last night and realized that i left it at work. :(

that's just kinda the week i've had.

i'm feeling much better in general but i sure could use a turbo boost of my old energy back. by mid afternoon the last few days i've contemplated a nap on my desk. not just head on desk but moving shit out of the way... bringing my bear, pillow, and dress (aka my fave blanket) and making a pallet like in pre-k.... right on top of my desk.

we should really get with the rest of the world on the whole siesta thing!

i also have noticed the last couple of days that fall is here in it's own little texas way. last night i saw a flying V of Canadian geese fly over our home. instead of trees changing color, we have monarch butterflies passing through.... they make me happy. so take a minute or five and just sit outside and most likely you'll see a couple monarchs flutter by or look overhead for migrating birds... and then you can close your eyes and pretend that we have real seasons.

so glad i've found "found"

check out this note and many other bizarre finds

my little one, that i also heart.

so today was one of those days where i just needed to play with flowers
so i stopped at my favorite flower shop in the middle of the day
dahlias are one of my all time favorites and i got creative with the feathers
i love the way it turned out! wish you guys could see it in person -
the photos don't do much justice!

There are no clouds in the sky today. Before I met Rex, I was always disappointed on cloudless days. Who doesn't enjoy day dreaming with the clouds? However, now when I look up at the stretched out blue sky - I picture Rex with her paint brush in her mouth, contemplating her next brush stroke, on her canvas, the immense sky.
