this week has been a bit wacky!
lots of different stuff goings on...good, bad-ish and eh...
this morning started with a fender bender (not my fault)...
but how can one be low, when the above moment happened in the world?
i think she's listening to "Hey-Ya!"...

hey, remember when I did comedy?
yeah... it's been awhile.
did i tell you that i'm doing it tonight?
i am! and it's mildly freaking me out.
i feel like my humor muscles are out of practice (as are the rest of my muscles, except the one that inserts my foot into my mouth 2-3 times a week)...
i'm not doing any new material. it's stuff i've done before that worked, but still...
i'm trying to calm myself with the Whitney Houston Pandora station, but they keep playing Mariah Carey.
just switched over to the Metallica station.
etsy store should be live on wednesday! made the banner this weekend using this adorkable picture of me back when i was cute...
that's all i have to report. things have happened, but don't seem blog-worthy. they mostly involve work or me being foolish. i'll save those for the memoir. (yeah, i'm writing one!)
love and peace and naps to all of the people i love!
that was exclusionary...
love and peace and naps to EVERYONE, but extra naps for the people I love.
there.
peach out.
I'm not a fan of random YouTube posting... but this is adorkable...
i am looking forward to a Valentine's Day weekend with my family! i get two sweeties!
peach out.
yesterday, i experienced an emotion that usually doesn't feign to lit on me- anger.
i went to bed angry about the current tension/migraine headache.
i woke up to snow and was angry about the snow.
i went to work and continued to be angry at my body for continuing to let me down by CONSTANTLY giving me headaches that radiate through my entire being.
i drove home angry at the hail, then snow, then rain and then hail.
i am not comfortable with the anger, unless it is righteous and aimed at a person not putting their kid in a carseat or leaving a dog in a hot car.
so i did what i do... i cried. and then had a quick sleep before people came over...
felt better after being with friends, encouraging them, taking steps and getting some hugs.
anger, anger go away... and don't even think about coming back. i got my joy guard up!
peach out.
just started this book last night while killing time before seeing Revolutionary Road (still don't know if i liked it, or if i was supposed to)...
surreal and a little naughty (which might be what they write on my tombstone), it is beautiful and poetic...
here's two quotes that struck me:
"Her beauty is full, it breathes with real life. It's dangerous. She is like a live rose in this garbage-pit of deformed bodies. That's why an ominous doubt slowly creeps into my heart. Can it possibly be, I think involuntarily, is it at all possible? Beauty should be limited; otherwise it inevitably turns into evil."
"The most important episodes in life aren't lit up by the rays of the sun; fate does its dreary work in twilight, in a murderous clarity, in a sooty dusk- out of it, bats come flying; the eyes of meaningless nonexistence lurk within it. Our fate is measured out there, where owls hoot gloomily. Only the gray, dirty pigeons of Vilnius escape it into the light of day."
writing that can make me stop skimming is rare. i'll let you know if the rest of the book is as good.
wanting to have beauty that is full,
michele
meet rocky.
you can see him and his friends here...
i'm hoping to put some things up for sale on etsy in the next couple weeks.
watch out, build-a-bear workshop! pumpkinhead products is coming to completely not threaten you at all!
a silly girl who makes silly things,
michele
