happy thanksgiving

i am thankful for all the wonderful people i am so fortunate to have in my life...

miss you guys!

fun with hair

the surgery on my lip will never keep me down... i will ALwaYs make the fishy-kissy face!

this is what you do one bored wednesday evening... play with the camera and the settings and your hair. i'm glad i cut it short. i'm more vulnerable this way... plus i have bOUNce!

if i could hide behind myself i would

shy

hesitant

the world will never see me...

however, greatness beckons and i blossom

vibrant

beautiful

the world will take notice...

happy pup

Nalu smiling with his new BIG white teeth... I think I laughed out loud (tears streaming down my face) for about ten minutes.

rainbows appear when you least expect them

what a cold day!

i wish pictures could indicate how cold it is... it looks like a nice sunny day but it's about 30 degrees and it's noon! i guess it's been coming, but those 50 degree days last week threw me off :) the above photos are some pictures from my (cold) morning.

cancer (sucks!)

took a trip all by myself...

time to reflect.

time to play my music as loud as i could.

time to sing even louder.

got to the doctor's office and five hours later

i left with this great souvenir...

stronger, braver, and proud of myself

i faced my fears all alone.

and they weren't that scary.

i may have scars but the wounds will heal...

cloudy day

these were taken on my way up to missoula the other day... some of the clouds were so close to the ground it looked like you could touch them. i had to concentrate on paying attention to driving though - i get so distracted when there are awesome clouds in the sky!

a twelve page paper due in the morning... it's 10 pm and i'm not working on it. i find things to do - - -call everyone i haven't talked to in the last 24 hours... take unnecessary bathroom breaks... text message... make "to-do" lists... space out... take pictures... surf the internet... do my laundry (finally!)... pet the dog... pet the cat... try on all my scarves... stretch... sigh... BIG sigh... then i get back to it for a couple of pages until something else catches my attention and the cycle continues. i will be up late tonight and up very early tomorrow trying to get this done. i can sleep when i'm dead...

i do my best work under stress...
