For the Love...Parties and Performances

This Moment

A Friday ritual. A single photo-no words-capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment.  A moment I want to pause, savor, and remember.

Two for one day...because it's been that kind of week.  Happy Friday!

A Tisket, A Tasket...

A pink and yellow basket.  I wrote a letter to my love, and on the way I dropped it...  

The sprites say, "Happy Valentine's Day!"

And as for me,

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you." - Jane Eyre 

I'm still working on the "happy" part of Valentine's Day.  

It's a process.

Children of Eden

Analiese got the opportunity to be in another play this weekend.  Children of Eden.  It was beautiful and incredibly touching.  I cried during the finale.  I'm so proud of her.  Before the 1st performance of the week she told me that she was afraid.  I told her that being afraid is exactly why it makes her brave.  She put herself on stage in front of a complete group of strangers despite her fears.  She was brave and she was excellent.  Tear worthy for sure.

Stream of Naked Consciousness (Or Shoes)

A fairy visited my shower last night and left behind her shoes.  Little pink shoes.  I wonder if she'll return for them this evening.  Maybe she'll thank their safekeeping with a brand new pair of shoes for me.  Or is it only elves that are cobblers or Keeblers.  If the cookie is oatmeal raisin, can I pretend it's a healthy breakfast?  Probably not.  The fairy used all of my shampoo and my shower smells like man.  The boy has started using Axe body wash.  He likes the way it smells and the commercials with the pretty girls.  Are we really there?  I don't want to tell him it's a frat boy body wash.  Maybe he'll be a frat boy.  God, I hope he's not a frat boy.  How do I keep my girls away from frat boys?  I hope Analiese does well on her test.  She's gets so stressed when she has a test.  I guess I'll forgive her screaming about her shoes.  Maybe the elves will cobble her a new pair of shoes.  I don't think elves wear pink shoes.  What do I know?  Je ne sais pas francais, that's for sure.  Hot water wake me up. I'm not a big fan of tests either.  Je sais francais, je sais francais.  Je sais francais?  It feels like an over-sized sweater and TOMS kind of day.
