I’ve been checking the status of my passport application every day this week. I sent it overnight Express on Friday (last) and was told I’d have it within two weeks. Every time I’ve logged on to check the status I see (in big red letters): “Application not found… blah blah blah … it may take 7 – 10 days for your status to be available.” Okay. That is reasonable. But I’m pretty sure I’m more well known for my impatience than for my reasonable-ness. So you can imagine my surprise when my brand new, beautiful passport showed up in the mail on Thursday! Yee haw!

I also survived my first Sharing Time. Only two of my kids were there but that actually worked out a little better. I spent forever preparing and making cute things and coming up with fun stories and yet I feel like it was the most boring sharing time ever. Really. Ah well… I have six more months to get ready for the next one.

Harlow struck again… right in front of my grandmother’s door. At least I caught before my grandmother stepped in it or Harlow ate it. (sorry, sick I know…) I think my Grandma is starting to take it personally. I can’t say I blame her.

I’m going through a “downsizing” phase. Do you ever have those? Where you just want to go through all your stuff and just get rid of it? That’s where I am right now! I have too much stuff and it’s cluttering my house and my head. So it’s all going!

Okay, back to some late night vacuuming!

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!
