Sleep Sleep Anti-Freak

Sleep sleep anti-freak
Bedtime stories wait
Wander through dreams and seams
A cushion in your wake

Secrets linger in your mind
As dreary as you feel
Fill your head with misery
A jacket on your wheel

Find a line to bite your teeth
Jumble up the madness
Assume your tongue will follow through
And sleep, sleep . . . sleep.

Happy Summer Solstice to all!

CHEEEEEEEEEEESE!

Where do you look for inspiration?

When I'm having a bit of an "art" block, I can easily look through my old photos or look-up local artisan fairs, but one of my favorite things to do is to head to local food markets! This photo is from Borough Market in London, England when I was visiting family in March. I personally love cheese, but the art that I will create from looking at this photo will last longer than any aged cheese ever can. I'm off to create for now, but I hope to post something soon!

And if you're wondering...the move is going fine! Our furnished apartment is great and I'm just on the lookout for a new job. Shameless plug: my resume is located on the bottom left of this page! Thank you! Also, the Litchfield Hills Road Race was this weekend! (Yup, during that 100 degree heat wave - it was brutal!) I ran the 7+ miles in 1 hour, 34 minutes, and 52 seconds! I cannot believe that I ran over 4.5 miles in that heat...but I am so proud that I finished it and I cannot wait to try a 5K (maybe in 75 degrees on a cloudy day - that would be nice). Yay!

Of course, if you are feeling hungry now: check out the Organic Consumer Association for local farms and markets and see whats happening in your neck of the woods!

Happy blogging!

Get Out and Do Something

I challenge you to get out and do something with yourself today. Plan a DIY project, write someone a letter, sit in the sun with some friends. Do something you aren't doing but want to be and write about it.

Smile...it's YOUR life!
