done.

today has been a running, writing, reading, thinking day:

thoughts about 'writing'.
thoughts about 'reading'.
i ran 3 miles and have been yawning a lot.

i feel quiet and tired.

i want to lay in bed under the day shade and day-dream awhile. look at my paintings on the wall and flip through my notebooks. rest. wonder.

this week was a wearing one. i feel worn.

and i am wearing one of jared's big t-shirts. i look like a little kid. i want to wear it because it is his.

yawning and stretching
this always-a-little-bit-older body.

this is a perfect evening for books in bed.

ahhhhh saturday.

i slept in. :) felt good. i plan to leave all art-related goodness for the evening if i get to it at all. today, i want to clean my house and do the laundry and dishes and handle all the regular stuff that happens in a life. i want to enjoy the sunshine, go hiking with my sweetie and my dog, and look around at the big ol' world. besides, the paintings are still wet and i'm in the mood for something sweet and quiet and unassuming. maybe i'll crochet in bed... maybe i'll draw in bed... maybe i'll just make the bed. :)

lazy days and scary movies...

after building and stretching some fairly large canvasses the other night with my sweetheart, i ended up needing (and taking) a bit of a break from the whole art thing in general. it's been pretty nice, actually. my new zines came in the mail a few days ago so i've been re-reading them every few hours for the passed three days (fun!), and have been forcing myself to watch scary movies (i have no tolerance for them at all and am trying, slowly, to get over that). and i think i'll spend the rest of the day today doing more of the same and have one more day off from production and introspection. sometimes it is completely necessary for me to take a big step back from the work. the ideas i generally deal with aren't exactly happy and fun and getting so wrapped up in them can become pretty exhausting... not to mention, sad. it's just a good idea to get back to playing with my dog, being outside, and talking to friends... remembering the small pleasures in life. and so i'm indulging those desires and smiling about it the entire time. :) hope everyone had a great weekend and that the new week is off to a great start! being that we're so close to Halloween now, there are a ton of scary movies on TV... check 'em out! or recommend a few of your favorites to me so i can be less of a baby about them. even the most silly, unbelievable bad B-grade horror flicks scare the pants of me.
