Quote thoughts
The below quote kinda freaked me out. Ok—-when you’re four it’s probably beneficial to do what your parents say…but the “you must always obey” sounds haunting and dictatorial. It also makes me want to never obey. And never take baths. Feel me?
“You must always obey”

Colorado is awesome. I remember it being beautiful in the summer..but wow..indescribable. This morning I went on a hike—Ive never really been on a real hike before—-but it was really awesome and fun and exhilarating. I’ll going on another one tomorrow from 8am-2pm. yeah..iknow…long. but its gonna be totally worth it. I think I have a new love named hiking.

COLORADO
I leave for Colorado tomorrow! Yay vacation! I haven’t been on a textbook vacation in quite a while. It’ll be nice to leave the humid, sticky, wet air of Houston. The high there tomorrow is suppose to be around 40!! wwwhhhaaat?! I know you’re wondering how I will survive…but I will..I will. I depart with a haiku..

Some of today's musings
First of all——I am subconsciously drawn to similar forms of turquoise/aqua. I just painted my room turquoise, i just got my nails painted a similar hue, i recently bought a teal/turquoise shirt, and please notice one of the background colors of this very blog. It’s funny how much I am obsessed with this color. I thrive on it almost, I get some sort of refreshing energy from it....
Well written article. I think about this a lot.... →

“Work work work.”
That’s the title to the soundtrack of my life. But interestingly enough, I’m pretty OK with it. New(and old) loves are re-entering my life because of it. Like…
- Food Network
-Cooking
-Short story writing
-Reading!
-Quiet time with my God
-Diet Dr Pepper
Also- I want to be a fashion designer, kind of. I think that it would be really fun and...

I made chicken
I cooked dinner last night, which is quite the rare occurrence. But I think it should happen more because I really enjoyed it and so did my mom and Melissa (our friend and new housemate, for a while, at least).
I made peppercorn chicken and lemon zest spinach. Healthy and really delicious too. I rubbed dijon all over the chicken breasts before I cooked them, which was fun.
I really enjoy eating...
Summer
I have a new commitment to writing on this blog. I know it’s lame to keep committing and recommitting, but this is real. I’m excited about it.

My Mom Never Kept Soda in the House
Every other Friday, at exactly 5:30,
You’d come get me.
My business-suit savior
Slowly ascending up my driveway
In your practical tan Camry.
Your knock
Knock
On the front door,
My tiny multicolored neon rolling suitcase,
You’d scoop it up in your arms and place it
Gently in the trunk
I’d wave bye to mom,
A frozen figurine...
I wrote this for class
Happiness
Her turquoise toes stroke The heated sand, A strand of hair is wind whipped. She scans the water, lets it lick Her turquoise toes. Her knees freckled On daisy skin, not tanned. She ran Into the waves that softly spray. No man but her belongs there, Inhaling sun and salt and what
Is grand.
Read it out loud
I really like this poem by Gwendolyn Books. It’s called “We Real Cool”.
The Pool Players.
Seven at the Golden Shovel.
We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurke late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing in. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon.
We were suppose to describe a cup of coffee...
I already tingle
before I sip it.
The rich aroma can stand strong
on its own,
or with a splash of milk or
with a sprinkle of sugar.
I gingerly sip
that first hot wave and immediately
my body calms,
my brain begins and
I feel fixed again.
I love this poem by Mary Oliver
The Summer Day Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean— the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down, who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly...
I've Decided
I’ve decided to start just blogging poems/my poems/anyones poems that I come across, in light of my busy-ness and that Im taking poetry writing this semester. Here is one I wrote today about wontons. I’ll explain: Our professor had us bring in a line of poetry we admire and I picked a line from Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman. The line is:
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.

I do it for the Blizzards
Today on the way home from Austin, I stopped at Dairy Queen aka heaven to get myself a thin mint Blizzard (its the Blizzard of the month, just so you know). And I decided to drive through because I was sort of in a hurry to get back because I had a dentist appointment at 4:30. Anyways, as I pressed the roll up window button, I noticed my car window was not rolling up. so i tried and tried. Long...
cause theyre all spies
So I’ve been accidentally shooting people the finger lately. Yesterday at the bank, I was walking out and putting my sunglasses on and I made eye contact with this lady and then I realized I was pushing my sunglasses up my nose with my middle finger. And then a few days before, I was scratching my nose and made eye contact with someone and realized I was scratching with the middle finger. I...

Miss Fix-It
Besides my finger nail polish and my car’s cruise control, you know what else needs fixing? Quite a few relationships of mine. Question: How do relationships get to the point where they are an utter mess? Possible Answer: I think its the little stuff that tears relationships apart. Like not calling someone back one too many times or not inviting them somewhere. Or not listening. This stuff...

I am a hostage to my own humanity.
But there are glimmers of hope sometimes.
You can tell the good wants to win…which is nice.
Thats all I have to say right now.

Breakfast
Coffee, grapes, cherries, granola, bacon, sausage, biscuits, eggs. True love has found me and it looks like breakfast.
I never liked breakfasty foods till college. I guess its just part of my growing up process. Or Im finally giving it a chance. hmmmmm. My aunt made actual whipped cream to put in our coffee. Hello beautiful
Greetings from Iowa
Ive never been here before. Truely, Ive never been to the midwest/heartlands. It’s pretty. Rolling hills. for some reason I thought it would be flat.
My mom and I fearlessly drove 15ish hours straight. no big deal. We woke up at 2:45AM. no big deal. And as we passed Dallas, we searched the feeders for Starbucks to quinch our need for coffee. Unsuccessful. So we ended uo stopping at *GASP*...

Petrificus Totalis
I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night/this morning at 12:01. It was great. A really well-done movie. It really had a good balance of adventure, humor, scariness, and even some loooove. Hermionie is great. and Ron. And Harry. Really, I have no complaints about the movie. yeah, it didnt follow the book 100% but thats expected. It was still a great movie.
Ive really had low energy...
Soup sick
im eating soup because im sick, because thats what you do when youre sick.
I want to know when I started living my life in slow motion thanks to anxiety. I didnt use to be like this, did I? Not wanting to return phone calls, checks emails, or go to the bank (maybe Im just lazy about the bank thing). I know the root cause. It’s fear. And since when did I let fear run my life? I go through...
Coffee is my favorite friend

I think when you kiss your good friend goodbye on the check, you are on your way to becoming an adult.
Well this looks amazing....watch the trailer! →
