my house SPARKLES! i don't think it's ever been this clean and well organized! i even washed the walls! hahahaha! i pick my friend up today at 2 and i am so happy and excited to see her. we haven't seen each other in 2 years! and last night i stayed up late crocheting, too excited to sleep. one of my goals in life is to make myself a blanket. i've attempted it a whole bunch of times and have had no success. none. i finished an afghan once but when i finished it and held it up in front of me it wasn't even close to being square. it was totally triangulated and horrible. i still have it as a time-capsule type thing but i want to try it again. i've been working on it, here and there, for months and made some major headway last night while i was over-run with excitement... in spite of my aching back after a full day of frenzied scouring. :)
my friend is an artist too and we'll have an entire week of drawing and laughing and making funky little things. i can't wait to hear what she thinks of the new drawings and paintings and i can't wait to see what we'll create while she's here. on her last visit we worked on the same canvas together. made a swirling, fantastic painting that encompassed both our outlooks and styles. HAPPINESS!
my posts will probably be pretty sporadic this week but know that i am having a wonderful time and lots of laughter. i wish the same for you. :)

I can't wait to see one of the "funky little things"!!!
that is such a good solid feeling of accomplishment. sometimes a clean organized space cleans us up enough inside to see more clearly
I love when I get everything to sparkle! Have a wonderful time with your friend; we will be here when you're back!
From your postings, I feels as though you've reached a level spot after much difficult climbing. That you had the energy and enthusiasm for such cleaning (and the joy of the results) speaks to me of being in a space of peace with your process. Wishing you and your friend a magical week together.
heavenly. your joy is infectious.

marta- i didn't get any of the funkiness finished yet. we were laughing too much! :) but soon!!!! i am excitied about playful art. i like it that Art doesn't always have to be "serious". it's refreshing and joyous to work on silly projects with a friend and just be little kids together.
maggie- YES! i've definitely noticed how environment effects my brain and heart. when i let myself live in chaos, my insides become pretty chaotic as well. and for a week now, i've maintained the sparkle and am driven to continue to maintain it. it assuages so much.
susan! thank you! we had such a wonderful time! i feel renewed in so many ways! a good friend really does set the world right again. :)
marylinn, yes! which lets me know there is more climbing ahead. but i am happy for it. and ready. :) we had a magical week indeed! and it built me up such a big strength and hope. fortified me for the journey ahead. being around daniela has always put a brighter touch to my life- she's such a positive, sunny personality, so compassionate and always looking on the brighter side of a given situation. she's a beautiful personal and i value her so much. it was good to be able to tell her that face to face, hug and laugh and poke fun at each other. silliness!!!! and so very cleansing. :)
d!!!! soooo heavenly to have her here! to drink coffee with her each morning and talk about art and life and dreams and all that stuff friends ramble on about together. absolutely heavenly! thank you!!! and i HOPE my joy infects to plague-like proportions! HUGS! HUGS! HUGS! and constant daily giggling!!! :D
