Day 20 - Haiku May 2 2011
too many magnets
not enough space on the fridge
oh! what shall I do?
such polarized joy
must not be disposed of in
just any old way
fun words which you can
re-arrange to your liking
need creative homes
these sticky poems
I will disperse at random
oh aren't you hopefull
on your car, front door,
or other surface; I might
leave you a message
Day 21 - These Boots Were Not Made For Walking, and other uncomfortable clothing items May 3rd 2011
Today I misjudged the weather. I dressed for a "warm, sunshiney" day.
I was freezing and grumpy, because even though I LOVE the rain & it is going to create another awesome harvest this year, I am Super bitter about the cold rain today. (You win Adrianna. - but you will be thankful too when you are eating your apple butter...)
All day I had that feeling when your sweater is two sizes too small, and you didnt even think you would really wear it much past running to the car as you were late for work in the morning, but now you've been cold and damp all day and you are going to cut the sweater up into little bits as soon as you get home so you will never accidentally grab it again thinking it is your other blue sweater, and you will make those bits into cleaning rags, but save the fun logo parts, and make some kind of hippie t-shirt scrap quilt, just as soon as you learn how to sew...
Anyhow.
This week I have noticed YAY all my clothes that fit me again are now becoming "too big"
I have already freecycled 6 bags of clothes this year.
I am giving it my best effort to stop dressing like a 12 year old boy.
My goal over the past few months has been to wear all the fashions I keep for "someday, when I become an 'x' kind of person, who "wears skirts and stuff", or "works in an office place", or "uses an iron for some reason other than getting Ed to wax our snowboards"...
So I have been trying to incorporate these peices into my daily wardrobe.
It is hard. Kate and I have discussed this;
Reason #1. Because when I wear stupid sparkly cleavage shirts I feel like an imposter, and I am just waiting for someone at the bank to be like "CAUGHT YA!- WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITHOUT YOUR HOODED SWEATSHIRT???"
Reason #2. Skirts do not meet the demand for functionality in my life. Climbing fences with muddy dogs to get to the "really good hiking spots" Climbing Ladders to drill holes or inspect smoke alarms. It's like the Jewelry thing. Sure, it's "pretty", but how pretty do you look with your arm tangled in a dough mixer, or your neck twisted around a lathe...
Lastly, I only ever seem to wear a selection of my 50 or so favorites from everything I own, so why not just keep it at that?
Or at least attempt to get it down to a number somewhere close.
Today I am discarding another pile of clothes that I am not totally in love with.
Day 22 - Nevermind May 4th 2011
Farewell to the rendition of Kurt Cobain that Greg Pool doodled for the art-athon that year we did the 30 Hour Famine and Tim and I lit the carpet in the foyer on fire and it set off some kind of detector and the fire-trucks pulled up and we ran, and we never got caught even though there were video camera's all through the building. Or else that was the night of "Starsearch"... High School was a blur.
What else could I write? I don't have the right.
Days 23 & 24 - Junk I found on top of my fridge May 6th 2011
1 banana hanger
Seriously who out there is hanging their bananas??? The only reason I have one is because I found it in the university move-out purge dumpster excursion last May and thought - Oh gee I guess I could hang my banana's on this...
1 unusual shaped rad vase/jug
Kind of has the effect of Blue Mountain Pottery only it is orangey-red. Has a very wide flat base, thin neck & spout for pouring. Has been mistaken for a bong/requested to be turned into one on several occasions
