Hooray for lazy days with my hubband! Also, today's olive green sweater IS the same as yesterdays... Day three:
feeling: warm, comfortable, and a bit lazy. also, proud that I biked today! emoting: contentment & a bit of creative energy bubbling up inside. listening: to my husband deliberate about instrument buying/selling. it's a lifelong struggle. waiting: for dinner. bruschetta & white wine. whaaaa...? wondering: how to revamp my blog. because it's gonna happen. especially my picture. NEED NEW. dreaming: about making pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I'll go do that in about 5 minutes. wishing: that I had a nice glass of water to drink right now. the perils of laziness. thankful: for my dear friend Jordan. she is a life to celebrate! also, probably one of the most kind/insightful/BEAUTIFUL humans I have ever met. go stroke her hair sometime, she loves it. eating: nothing. though, Sam and I did just devour some hippie honey graham crackers from the Love With Food package we got from Lily for our wedding. #bestgiftever craving: a smoothie! I saw some scrumptious looking smoothie recipes this morn that I want to try. hoping: that Sam will forgive me for the inappropriate use of lowercase letters in this post. reading: cookbooks! particularly a vegan one I have. I love the no-meat, no-dairy part, but some of the recipes are so darn complex! what happened to a good old fashioned bean burrito?! grateful: that I might get to see the one & only Alexi Rae tomorrow. hashtag holla. thinking: about sending some letters this afternoon. because that's a fun activity.

I promise that the olive green sweater I am wearing today is a different one than I wore yesterday! Day two:
feeling: slightly hungry. a comfortable sort of warm. emoting: EXCITEMENT! because today I am submitting my edtpa. 2 & 1/2 of my life: right there. listening: to this beautiful EP of covers by two of my favorite voices ever! waiting: to go back to China. but also, wondering: if I would love it as much without the team that I first went with. dreaming: about walking in the woods, collecting sweet sap from trees at LCO. wishing: that I still went to UWEC and still got to see those I love at least once a week, if not once a day. also, more than anything that Molly Bray was back here because I just love her so much. thankful: for the day off! and for time to submit this beast because apparently, I am tied to my computer for 2 hours while uploading happens. also, for the opportunity to read :) eating: currently: starburst. later: the most delicious thai butternut squash soup. yum! craving: the above soup. also, goat cheese sandwiches/breakfast sandwiches from the goat. it is all I can think about when I am in Eau Claire. hoping: that Sam will forgive me for the inappropriate use of lowercase letters in this post. reading: all of Isaac's old blog posts. also, a book about the moon by H.G. Wells. hilarious. grateful: that Lexie is my friend and that she texts me and sends me delightful things in the mail. thinking: about how much I don't like unknown days like today, but also how grateful I am to just have a day to soak up being in this city I still sometimes like to call "home." So there is this temptation to become dissatisfied with who I am as a wife, woman, blogger. Because I see these other women and they have long hair and beautiful white homes and incredible talents and they have chickens and herb gardens and I am filled with envious desire. So instead of giving in to the temptation to frame my life with words and images that imitate theirs, I am going to attempt to be real. Day one: feeling: like my back hurts because I did ab ripper x for the first time in 9 months and I'm sore. emoting: anxiety because my homework is yet undone and I want my husband to come home. listening: to the sound of my drippy faucet as it has been now for five months. #worsthippie waiting: for the day when I get to be the teacher. and have my students sit in a circle. dreaming: about owning chickens. and eating the rest of my peanut butter chocolate ice cream. wishing: I could see my friends, or any type of community, more than once a week. thankful: for this beautiful home and abundance of provision and a night alone to just do & be. eating: the worst meal I've probably ever created. sauteed sweet corn and gnocci. I don't know. craving: popcorn with chocolate & sea salt caramel. so chocolate, basically. all the chocolate. hoping: that I will one day feel the confidence of a teacher with integrity. reading: a book about teachers with integrity. it is so inspiring. grateful: that I don't have to be to school until 9am tomorrow #slowmorning thinking: that it is probably time to go grocery shopping. we need eggs. (again, or chickens!) tempted to: fix my hair. cover up that zit. try smiling less freaky. turn the camera to show off my hipster coffee bag that I stole out of a dumpster. (what?). adjust the yellow lighting. so this is real.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
