Pretty Much a Perfect Day

An amazing show and an early dinner with my honey. Loved every moment. If you get a chance to see the 25th Anniversary US touring Company of Les Miserables DO NOT HESITATE! They are absolutely incredible!

Do You Hear the Crickets?

Geesh! A bunch of spam comments is the quickest way to remember that I have COMPLETELY neglected the poor ol' blog! Lots of stuff has been taking up my time, though, and I just haven't been able to be here. I'll run a catch up post and play with Jenn C at the same time today. How's that sound?

Let's talk about fires
And how I'm putting them out
Everywhere I turn.

Seasons are changing
Oldest baby to high school
I don't feel this old

Then there's the middle
My all around artsy girl
Years melting away

And baby no more
My littlest great big girl
Bigger every day

So back to those fires
Busy now? Summer's coming--
It only gets worse!

So if I'm not here
Quite as much as I'd like to
Smoke sends you my love!
Ha! How do you like that? Do stay tuned though because I have something in the works that should be ready for reveal soon! In the meantime...

Breaking the Silence...

It has been a long 6 weeks of no posting around here. I've been haunting FB, barely acknowledging my Tweeple, and checking in on Pinterest at random moments when I can. Interestingly enough, I have had a lot going on in REAL life lately and haven't been completely fixated on the internet. (Hard to believe, I know.)

But I had to take a minute today for this:


What are you waiting for? Take the Pledge.

A Special Girls Night Dinner

And what did she pick?

Sushi!

Guess Who Was "Reading" in School Today?

Mari's teacher sent me a picture of her

reading

in the classroom library today.

So cute ~

and she isn't completely sitting on top of the book!

We're making progress!

Thanks, Ms. Lori, for the picture!

Haiku Wednesday~

School's back in session
And we're getting back at it.
Each one a miner:

Digging and searching
for nuggets of brilliance
that seem to elude.

Hidden, not missing
there, just under the surface
it's waiting to flash!

In 2012, Wednesdays are for Haiku ~

With a kiss it starts ~
a fresh chance, new year, same goals?
Not me; I rebel.

Why should we resolve -
and focus on what's lacking -
when blessings abound?

May your 2012 and ours be the best year yet!

xo.
