HAPPY (almost) VALENTINE’S DAY

February 13, 2009

Here is one of my very favorite poems:

……….
i carry your heart 

with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

…………………………. i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

…here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

first, this japanese tape from DWR was irrestistable! the colors and the finish are perfect for my sketch book or for holding my polaroids. and the little splashes of color make me happy. it’s sold out now so i got it just in time! i’ve got a thing of stationary, tape, pens, paper, etc.

i thought this was such a sweet idea for valentines! you take little match boxes and make them fancy.i have all this scrapbooking paper i’ve never used so i thought i’d give it a shot. they’re really cute and so inexpensive so i’m making them for everyone!

apparently martha stewart makes glitter. who knew! i’ve never been into martha but this glitter is SO pretty. it comes in a 3-pack of similar shades (like a paint swatch). i couldn’t pass up such pretty colors! i’ll use some one my valentines but i want to glitter more stuff! haha then i can buy more colors. oh and i also comes with a little tube of glue with a fine point.

okay, that’s as crafty as i get!

harlow says hello

February 10, 2009


Just in case you forgot how cute Harlow is she posed for a few pictures as she was falling asleep. I don’t know how I feel about the bows in her hair – she’d just gotten back from the groomers. Part of me thinks it’s adorable. Part of me is embarrassed for her.

To counteract her cuteness she did something very UN-cute the other day. While I was in the shower my grandmother decided to go to bed so she left Harlow in the living room. Alone. With all the lights off. She obviously did not like this and decided to get back at my grandmother. The next day my grandmother told me that Harlow had pooped right in front of her bedroom door. And how did my grandmother find it? When she walked out of her bedroom… barefoot. Eeeww! I would have been SO mad but I can’t help laughing. In Harlow’s defense she NEVER has accidents in the house… except when she’s mad at my grandmother and it’s always in her room, in front of her room, etc. It’s only happened a few times but it’s pretty obvious that she knows what she’s doing! Don’t mess with Harlow.

Just in case this story makes you love Harlow less just look at the pictures above one more time. 99.9% cute!

It’s all I can do to keep myself from starting to pack. But I’ve still got 4 weeks until I leave so … I’ll wait. My coworkers are already making fun of me because anytime someone mentions my trip I smile and sigh. I can’t help it.
