Soak it in

Look Alive.

Calling all thoughtful, passionate and connected individuals to apply as leaders in the L.I.F.E program.

This position requires tremendous tolerance for hardened cynics, unflinching determination in the face of aloof adversity, unending patience with the intellectual "superior" and enthusiasm to enliven the safe and dutiful.

The indifferent, blase and lackadaisical need not apply. Tender hearts and knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint is a plus.

Run Fat Boy Run

An unexpected little gem. Surprisingly tender (i.e. balcony scene). I'm a sucker for redemptive coming of age movies.

Camping

The difference between camping when you're twelve versus camping when you're twenty-three is vast. Yes, camping is still boatloads of fun but as my achy body reminded me, I romanticized the whole sleeping-on-the-ground part.

Once Upon a Tart...

Pumpkin Tart Fiasco.

My seat mate, an addition

That little lady was a complete stranger. A sampling of our conversation:

Me: What grade are you in?
Girl: First.
*pause*
Girl: I'm seven.
Me: Do you want to guess how old I am?
*pause*
Girl: Umm....84?

Day 7, Haiku week complete

i'm a haiku dream
reeling in discovery
bursting at my seams

Day 6, Still

driving in the rain
a fleeting bit of silence
found under a bridge

Day 5

too gray for my state
i long for abundant sun
to lift my spirit

Day 4, Hannah + The Olive Garden

throwing dinner mints

to see what comes next

Day 3, 6th grade memory

this will have to do
"the land of far and away"
scrawled out in marker

Day 2

for my sake, please stop
stop or you will suffocate
being so contained

5-7-5 Haiku

filling all the space
unbiased in its holding
water comforts us

You can even see it through the windows at night.

Picnic

Okay. I know it's still warm but I can feel Fall coming.

My food even tasted differently today.

Opulence

Yes folks, this beauty now hangs in my living room.
