To create is something I've always known. My mom ensured me to be a crafty child, i grew up loving art and going to art school. Now i find myself with a lack of it. As I type, I am staring at paint chips on the wall of my bedroom that have been hanging for at least 8 months... my boyfriend hates them, I can't seem to make a decision. Bedroom color is a big deal.

Old habits die hard.Or do they ever die?I spent 7 months awaiting the return of my boyfriend while he was out tootin around Afghanistan. Tooting is an understatement but to not think about what he was actually doing I stand by tootin.

I absolutely refuse to say lost because I have misplaced keys to my car for 3 weeks and magically found them in my couch.
Oddly enough I have MISPLACED my beloved iPod somewhere between my place of work and my place of living, all within 3 miles of each other.

Growing up my family and I took 2 vacations a year. One camping in the Adirondacks, the other in Cape May, New Jersey. I dreamed of moving to Cape May in all it's Victorian glory where I would work at Zoe's sandwich shop right off the beach serving well deserved vacationers an Italian Combo.

GARLIC!!!!!No, but seriously. Is there anything that doesn't taste better with garlic? I was taught from a young age that when in doubt, just add garlic to it. And not just a clove. I love those flakey white gift wrapped bulbs just begging to be smooshed, sliced, and diced.

I see the textlationship as a plague sweeping the world one tiny cell phone at a time.
At first I thought it was just the younger generation.
