your jeans were once so clean

I've been doodling quite a bit lately. I can't seem to get anything else done. I have these blank cards that were intended for a project that never happened and a spanking new pack of fine point Bic Mark-Its, and I just started covering them with flowers, birds, and all sorts of polka dots. It's relaxing but intense...when something seems forced I get sort of upset, even if it's a particular shade of pink that's just not jiving with a shade of green. So, I suppose it's a lesson of sorts, a training lesson in acceptance and letting the spirit flow through me rather than (beware a pun) force my own hand.

What an incredible Easter day! The weather has (finally) been so lovely the past few days and it was so liberating to wear a dress sans leggings. I did have to work the afternoon into the evening and was bumming over this when I left my parents' house just as more family came venturing through their doors. But the universe has really granted me some great friends and I was lucky to have one working with me tonight. We went all illegal and blasted D's iPod because the sight of a customer was very fleeting. I really feel blessed in that little (big?) coffee shop when I let myself ponder who I have become as a result of getting involved there in the beginning. The sap will end here, I promise, I just needed to acknowledge what a lovely universe I exist in.

Early day tomorrow, which is great because it's going to be a busy week and I'll have the afternoon to sort it all out. And maybe work on my bird doodles a bit more. Ha, doodle.
