just do it. whatever it is. whatever it is.

and so, i've decided not to plant seeds this year.
i think it's much more practical (and time saving) to plant already made seedlings. that way i can plan my garden out better and not worry about wasting money on seeds that are going to die because of this stupid weather.
although, today it may have been rainy, it was warm and nice and it was a nice change for once.
but according to my friend laura it may snow on monday or tuesday.
i am hoping not because this is just plain ridiculous and no one wants to see an unhappy dolly. nuh uh.
so lately i've been knitting a lot, because i either want to open up a stand at a farmer's market or an online store (not quite sure yet). so far, i've mostly made dish cloths and scarves and mostly breast cancer awareness related.
this is my new crusade that i've decided to take on along with peta, rainn, domestic violence, and the dulaan project.
in fact, i've found a site for a foundation that i've decided to donate my breast cancer item proceeds to.
it's the betty wood breast cancer foundation. it's a really beautiful, heartfelt site put together by danny wood (mr. #1). when i first came to the site a year ago and read his stories, i cried. it just completely broke my heart. i mean, i love my mother to pieces and i just can't imagine my life without her. danny is an awesome son to be doing this for his mother. so if you happen to visit this site, i ask you from the bottom of my heart and soul to please donate! it might possibly be one of the nicest things you could ever do.

now, i will go to bed. but i will leave you with this. not only is he fabulous and dreamy, he's a terrific musician.

come on get happy!

guess what, people?
i am terrifically happy.
and it never happens. at least not for days at a time, anyway.
i am so happy i could just burst like marlena in cloverfield.
(okay, bad bursting reference. lol)
people think i'm in love.
i really don't think i am, although it kinda feels like it. but i haven't been in love for AGES and AGES.
i think finally those little black rain clouds are gone.
hopefully forever.
tee hee.

but i still don't smile very much (not like i ever really have anyway).
today at work i had a customer tell me to smile. and i responded with, "i'm apache. i don't gotta smile." LMAO.

time go to be happy and watch cloverfield.
yay.

rock on!

i feel like a kid again.
seriously.
(yes. thanks to the whole nkotb reunion. omg, are you kidding me?! ahhhh!!!!)

anyway. i've noticed something.
i have a new attitude. i used to worry about so much and about stupid things that i was constantly feeling inferior. but you know, lately i've had this whole "screw it" attitude. like the whole, "nobody's gonna breaka my stride..." thing. it's hard to explain, but trust me on this one.
plus i'm on this whole new health kick.
i've stopped eating less. weird, huh?
my mom keeps asking me if i'm in love. i'm in love with life, how about it?
the weather outside describes my feeling inside. warm and sunshiny.

it's about time, eh?

here's #1!!!! in fact come to think of it, he takes 2, 3, and 4. (muahahahahahahahaha)

dear prudence, i think you're better off saying inside. i think the sun went home.

you know, i don't think i can stand this weather anymore.
first it snows forever, then it rains, then it snows and it rains, now it's just cold.
i'm getting tired of this whole thing.
i say we all get into a ship and head for another planet that hasn't been corrupted by the evils of environmental endangerment.
one that hasn't been forever (?) screwed by selfish, wasteful, horrible beings. but then it'd be messed up by the new crew that finds it. and we'd be screwed all over again.
maybe i should just build my own biosphere. an adam and eve project of sorts. so if i'm eve, who will be my adam? who will be the jude to my lucy? the mickey to my mallory?
*cackles at the possibilities*

but you know. "through the pleasure and pain, the sunshine and rain, baby we keep on smilin'..."
it could be a lot worse and i don't think we'll be seeing it any time soon. we're just not there yet.
now for some massive joliesse...

thanks jacky!!!!
