top ten tuesday

top ten reasons why seeing an old friend rocks:

- details i forget, she remembers.
- stories from when we were crazy kids.
- ease of conversation.
- driving the road to her mom's house for the first time in 8 years.
- calling ourselves old because we now drive that road at or even below the speed limit.
- listening to her talk about her husband & daughter.
- knowing she's an awesome wife & mother.
- understanding the rule of never admitting to anything.
- eye contact communication.
- knowing that 10 years from now, we'll still be enjoying one another's company.

happy birthday, michelangelo

in honor of michelangelo's birthday, in conjunction with the michelangelo project, and because i needed a good notebook to use at work - today i made my "top-secret, brown paper bag, string closure notebook". the inside is filled with paper we recently tossed at work. nothing like recycling paper into a new journal, and i'm a huge fan of having the vertical cyan lines on the pages. a couple of "x" eyelets to wrap the string closure around, and i have no worries of it accidently falling open in front of prying eyes. i love it. :)

nocturnal creativity

why is it that my body and my inspiration are on such drastically different sleeping cycles? :)

top ten tuesday!

top ten reasons why snow rocks:
- snowball fights
- the magic of a blanket of white
- when the sun is right, it appears diamonds are falling from the sky
- deranged mutant killer monster snowgoons
- sledding
- ice on the lakes and ponds
- it's temporary - eventually it *will* melt
- fun to catch
- snowmen
- encourages appreciation of warmer weather :)
