someday, when I've made it

By
Sometimes I get a real craving to ride a unicorn.

This might surprise a lot of you who know me.  I really don't seem like the unicorn type of girl.  And honestly, I'm not.  Unicorns, butterflies, holding my pinky out during a tea party - not really my thing. 

I'm more of a push-somebody-down-and-then-laugh-at-them kind of person.

It's just that you know that you've really made it when the government grants you special access to their top secret unicorn reserve.

Someday I'll be walking through those bunker doors, selecting the unruliest unicorn, and saddling up.  You just wait.

Oh yeah, and don't worry, I'll take pictures.  I don't even care that it says "no flash photography" in the fine print on my special access government waiver.

Reminds me of the Charlie the Unicorn video on YouTube. You're one of those naughty Unicorns herding him to the secret bunker! (I'll let you find out what happens- you might decide to forgo the whole unicorn thing!)

Wait. Melanie's already done this!?! And she didn't take pictures? Well, then I'm definitely counting on YOU to be the rule breaker for me on that one, Mel!

Speaking as one who has ridden the special government unicorns (and once I rode a liger!) I can tell you it's totally worth whatever you have to do to earn that.

I just really love you. You have just saved my sanity after finding a post by my size 2 sister in law, entitled "I love my body."

Thank you for existing.

hair loss and mourning

By
I like Monkey's hair long.  I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair.  You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child.  So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair?  It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long.  SUPER CUTE.  (Agree with me - it's my blog.)  But not many people liked the whole long hair thing.  I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again.  EVER."  (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it.  And even though ...

I am an artist.

By
I really am. But not one of those deeply moving, "what do you mean you don't understand my painting, it's BLUE" kind of artists.  I'm more like one of those "oh hey, a pen and a napkin, doodle doodle doodle" kind of artists.  Because I do it for fun.  And yeah, for money.  But still.  Fun....most of the time. But I feel like branching into new mediums.  Do you know how long it's been since I painted?  Like with something other than finger paints or the kids' water colors where all the colors are mixed so they just come out brown anyway? It's been awhile.  I've been itching to paint for months. I've also wanted to let Monkey loose on a canvas for awhile.  He's not like my other kids (who all carry mine and Husband's arty genes) who like to draw endless pictures of unicorns, princesses, transformers or dinosaurs.  Monkey likes to feel his art.  He'll probably end up being one of those deeply moving types.  And I'...
