i'm wishing

starting today i get to help take care of a friends dog for the weekend. {her name is olive: she is a black goldendoodle}

tonight i drove over in the blizzard-like weather and played with Olive for almost an hour before braving the snow again...

and now i am wishing i had a dog.

when i was younger my cousins and i would have tea parties...

we would dress up and do our hair and makeup...

make yummy foods and set the table for tea time...

we would laugh and smile and pretend we were grown up...

now that i am growing up... i find myself wishing i were young again.

tea party anyone?

happy {snow}

i suppose i am glad to have a snow day today {2 in a row is a record for k-state since i've been here} but considering the fact that i haven't had class since thursday, i may have trouble finding things to keep me busy...here's what i am thinking.

1. make yummy food

2. pour myself a cup of hot tea or coffee

3. continue reading Mark Twains autobiography {it's huge and only volume 1}

4. clean my house

5. run in the snow {and probably fall a lot}

6. take a hot bath

7. read some more

8. watch lovely french films

i look to my {eskimo} friend

"tiredness fuels empty thoughts

i find myself disposed
brightness fills empty space
in search of inspiration
harder now with higher speed
washing in on top of me
so i look to my eskimo friend
i look to my eskimo friend
i look to my eskimo friend
when I'm down, down, down"

last week i built an igloo with my brother

i laid inside and stared at the sky

and felt like a carefree child again...

with the newest layer of snow my igloo has changed shape

yet i still want to crawl inside and play

{my} friday

well it's friday {hooray} and i am one week away from being done with this semester.

i have plenty of work to do...{three writing assignments and a thesis proposal to be precise}

but right now i am cherishing today... {my} friday.

and it just so happens that i am going roller skating tonight.

how old school of me...

{happy friday friends}

conversations with {coffee}

Today as I thought of all the work I have ahead of me in the weeks to come I looked at my warm frothy latte and felt as though I could do anything.

{perhaps I can}
