There should be a prerequisite for playgrounds, a swing set and slide should be mandatory. A mary-go-round and teeter totters would come in as a close third and fourth, but other equipment, monkey bars, jungle gym, sand box, are optional. Regardless, a slide... and swing set, should always be required.

I shouldn't care

but I just want to cry.

annabelle

i look at the artwork you have compiled and my breath is taken with admiration. i am in awe to be in contact with such form, with such accomplishment, with such beauty. i look at you and i can't believe what an outstanding woman you have come to be. from muddy foot prints after afternoon swarares in the rain, my friend- how you've grown. you're passion, you're talent, you're potential has blossomed into such masterpieces that i am certain the world will never be the same. they say a picture says a thousand words, but you're render me speechless.

poor advertising

So I saw this add online, a few times actually, but I can't get over how absurd it is. Look at that dude's eyebrows, seriously. Not to mention he's scrawny as fuck and has the hairstyle of a Hanson brother... back in 1998! By no means does this add entice me to purchase from the company what so ever.

Noni

"The Noni is said to improve energy to promote a happier, more positive outlook." (Snapple) Can a snapple really improve my depression? I endludged in the fruit juice, but am unsure if my attitude was altereted.

Recently I've been closer with more male friends than female. I don't mind this. I rather enjoy it. However, no matter how "low mantiance, cool chick, one of the guys" kinda girl I am...
a) I'd still like to be appreciated as a woman
b) It hurts my feelings when you exclude me because "I don't have a penis"
Is this an oxymoron?

for holly

There are few people I can genuinely say that I admire. Holly, is one of those people. I admire Holly for many reasons, but she is not perfect, and that is another. I admire those who have the courage to stand up for what they believe in. I admire those who have the courage to shut up and listen. I admire those who read. Who think, who write, who consider. I admire those who call in sick to work for a "mental health" day. I believe in the power of a milk crate of scrapbook supplies and an hour of HDTV. I strive to wear moccasins. (though I'd enjoy them more if they didn't make my feet reek for a week) I admire those who recycle, who send their calls straight to voice mail. I admire those who take time just to exist. I admire those who take pictures, I admire those who notice. I admire Holly.

dog diaries 101

I'm ober excited; my Roonie baby was able to sleep with me for the first time last night. He is notoriously a horrid chewer, and I had been wanted to clean out my room of anything that might possibly interest/tempt him so that he would be able to sleep with me. In the past he has slept in the kennel next to my bed, which he loves. Well, I had been dog sitting for a friend so when I returned last night I just said screw it and let him be loose (limited to my room only). There was possibly the most junk in my room ever, since I had been gone and my family used it as a dumpster. Anyway, he did FANTASTIC! Not a single thing chewed or destroyed, he didn't pee on anything, or take a dump in my room. It was amazing, and I'm so happy it was a success! =] I love my moosie!

fat is happy.

what would happen if...

i discontinued my subscription to graduate school,
joined rehab for resident care workers
drank wild berry bellinis all day long
and napped in the sunshine?

enticing, eh?
