today...april 17

we were approached by a not-so-well person while enjoying the lovely spring weather and a rootbeer float at Foster's Freeze. he stood over us slightly touching and speaking rapidly and purposefully in spanish. i couldn't catch everything he was saying but it was something about how he did not want to play with me. not sure where it was going i told him i didn't understand, no se. he then told mister a-go-go that he could kill him...in english. it was then that we got up and went to the car. the ladies at the counter were yelling at him to leave, everyone else enjoying their cones just watched with smirks and wide eyes. this is something i will not miss about this big city of ours. such a shame as the day then took on a sour mood. we shook it off but still...sigh.

at least that float up there looks enticing. it was good too, only slightly bittersweet...

last week...

we stood in flowers, and took pictures, and picnicked. the photo was art directed by me and shot with a friend's camera. thank you for the fun day!

sooo much to do yet sooo easily distracted

i think i'm in denial about this whole move/trip thing. it doesn't help that i still can't quite breathe well. the cough is much better but still there and my ear is clogged so there is a lot of noise in the noggin. when i feel better i get up and sweep, pack, or sort and then i feel slumpy all over again. i hope this ends soon. we leave in two weeks and well, i wanna be healthy. there are boxes everywhere and things piled atop all flat surfaces. i look at it and list the things i have to do and then i cough so much i want to pass out. the mister is a trooper and is doing everything. he's even soothing my guilt over the sick and the ick and the lack of progress. he's my guy and i lurve him to bits.today, so far, after super-freaky-crazy dreams and not really much sleep i have gone through photo boxes and thrown out a load of trash and recycling. i also started packing up my picture books. i'm taking itty bitty steps and drinking lots of fluids and maybe later, i'll eat a cupcake. itty bitty steps.

aw sugar...

i did not intend to have a sugar filled day somehow it just happened. first off, i had a card for six free cupcakes at an awesome bakeshop (more on that later) and then i went to McDonald's for a coke but as I was pulling into the parking lot an employee came out with free samples of their mocha-something-frappa-somethin'and the cups were so wee and cute and topped with whipped cream (and chocolate sauce), how could i refuse? and then as i circled the the lot to exit, i met up with the same employee on the other side and he offered me another and well...can you blame me? they were really leetle, cross my heart. so there ya go, a day of better breathing, attempted errands and a leetle too much sugar (though i have not touched the cupcakes, those are waiting for the mister).

another lovely reason for my lurve of flickr

i sent her froot loops, she sent me macarons. they may not have survived the journey intact but they smelled sweet, were full of flavor and photographed beautifully. the fabric will be used for something wonderful. thank you claire!

happiness comes in a rainbow of colors
