Recovering my Craigslist Couch

Just: Keep. Moving. Forward.

“Imagine not being frightened by any feeling. Imagine knowing that nothing will destroy you. That you are beyond any feeling, an state. Bigger than. Vaster than. That there is no reason to use drugs because anything a drug could do would pale in comparison to knowing who you are. To what you can understand, live, be, just by being with that presents itself to you in the form of the feelings you have...”

Tonight, I drink alone

While Erik entertains Seattle, I stay home, light the fireplace, drink wine,  paint.

why? because we like you.

Murder. Mystery. Jello Shots.

Sorry I haven't been blogging, I overdosed on these and I've been sleeping for a week straight!

Oh, you don't care if I've been blogging or not? Fine then. Do you want to hear about the murder mystery party we went to last weekend?

I was "Cindy Butt" the cigarette girl

Only $50 a pop! Would you believe I made as much as $300 for one? Monay!

Joey- I mean Sam

It's fake grandma, don't worry

Thigh pics are the new foot pics fyi

it was not a dark and stormy night

Mayor Biggs

His mistress, Flirty Flapper

They're so hood.

Remind me to bring my fake ciggies to all the bars

uhhhhhh

long ride home

morning after

Dear Self,

You're beautiful.

Sometimes you think you aren't,

And sometimes you feel like you are,

You never really believe it,

You are.

And don't cut off all of your hair because you are bored.

If you really feel like your life is stuck in a rut,

Go sky-diving,

Play "chicken" on the freeway,

But please,

Do not cut off all of your hair.

You will regret it.

And you'll just spend the next 6 months

Growing it out long again anyway.

Things will get worse,

But they will always get better.

You could argue that things will get better but they'll always get worse...

Stop thinking like that.

Clean your room.

Stop trying to shave a few seconds off getting ready

By trying on outfit after outfit and then throwing them on the floor,

Because those seconds you saved not hanging things back up

adds up to hours of hanging and hanging and folding

on your day off.

Also, I have a feeling that your husband would like to sleep in his bedroom,

Not your closet.

Stop taking things so personally.

Let other people think/do/want what they want.

Value your own opinion.

Get what you want.

Want what you get.

Thinking alone is not caring.

Action is caring.

Love is action.

Will you be my Valentine? {for the rest of my life}

Orcas Island

This weekend we loaded up the car and drove far, far away to catch a ferry.

When we got to the island it was dark.

We drove up the windy, gravel road until we reached our cabin.

The first night we were there my cell-phone died.

I didn't revive it for two whole days.

It was awesome.

We spent the weekend the way life was meant to be lived.

Have you heard of hygge?

It comes from Danish culture and it means: relaxing, comfort, friends, laughter, a warm fire

We played cards

Listened to the rain

Walked down to the beach

and drank like sailors.

in this crazy little hobbit house nestled in the trees.

wonderful weekend
