Friday's Letter

Dear Mr. Veen:  I think you're cute even with a missing tooth - it must be love!  Dear Blogger:  I don't appreciate you shutting down on me like that - and where did yesterday's post disappear to?  Maybe there are tiny men in my computer after all.  Dear May:  although you have delivered some flowers, April apparently did not get the memo to stop showering.  Dear Drama:  I. DON'T. DO. YOU.  please take a hint.  Dear Ella:  I love that I can send you into hysterical laughter by making Mr. Cow fart, in fact it maybe might have been the highlight of my day yesterday.  Dear Gnarls Barkley:  bonus points for providing the perfect song and video to cap off the week of all things crazy.  And last to Mr. Veen:  thanks for loving this crazy girl!

Peace out!

10 favorite things ~ April

1.  Columbine.  No, not the grotesque school shooting people - the FLOWER!  What do you take me for - some kind of weirdo?  Columbine are sort of weedy looking sometimes but if you look closely they are the coolest looking little flowers.  And the best part is they come in lot's of different varieties and colors.  I have several coming up around my yard right now and they make me quite happy.

2.  Diane Keaton.  I think she's funny, smart and cool.  I want to be like her when I grow up.

3.  Friendship Bracelets.  I remember making these in grade school and wouldn't you know it  - they've made a resurgence!  These from Etsy are pretty cute!

4.  Tunic's.  Part dress, part shirt  = it's all good!  I find myself gravitating to these this time of year when I am SICK AND TIRED of wearing jeans but it's still too FREAKING COLD to go without something covering my white legs.  Solution - I can wear these over skinny jeans or leggings now and as a sundress later.  Brilliant no?  This is from a great little shop ellainaboutique.  I have one of her dresses and it's a favorite!

5.  Nurse Jackie.  This show was recommended to me from several people based on my love of United States of Tara.  I'm officially hooked!  If you like dark comedy you'll love Jackie.

6.  Strawberries.  We're getting fairly close to our local Oregon strawberries being in season.  Can't wait!

7.  Vintage milk glass.  Right now I have a little display on my mantle.  Milk glass coffee mugs are my #1 search @ the thrift lately.  Love them!  I also would be quite pleased to stumble upon a plate like this one.

8.  The Royal Wedding.  Let me just say that I maybe might be setting my alarm for the wee hours Friday morning so I can be swept up in this epic event.  After all I watched both Di and Fergie when they got hitched.  And those marriages were stellar.

9.  Stories.  So today myself and three other neighborhood mothers were flipped off by a middle aged man in a large black truck while trying to cross the street.  One of the mothers had a small child in a stroller.  We were in a CROSSWALK.  FOUR of us (not including small child) and this IDIOT decided he didn't need to stop for us  - and when we threw our arms in the air gesturing our disbelief at his ASININE behavior he FLIPPED US OFF!  

*at least one of us may have flipped him off in return.  specific identities will remain anonymous.

10.  Inspirational Prints.  Like this one from Kelly Rae. 

Couldn't have said it better myself!
