My favorite coffee place.

Peek out the window and check out the hat...her car had a bumper sticker that said, "Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies." Yikes.

This fire hydrant looked so fake. Even in the photo it looks like a miniature.

my favorite faults

1. I avoid doing laundry for weeks by buying new clothes.
2. I pack like an idiot. I ALWAYS forget something important. ie underwear, contact case, I once only packed one shirt for a 3 day trip. Yes that DID happen, and it might have been just this week.  
3. I get incredibly motion sick. I got super sick today at the rotating space needle restaurant with Rob's family. I had to come down early. I thought I might die, I felt so bad. 
4.I did not like The Dark Knight. Deal with it. It was too long and the dialogue kinda sucked. 
5. I rarely answer my phone. In fact I dislike talking on the phone. I wish it weren't so, it makes friendships and relationships extremely difficult. I'm not sure why it is, it's hard for me to express myself in that way. So if I have ever screened your call, you are not alone. I still love you.
6. Admitting my faults makes me feel less guilty about them. 
7. Being away from my family has made me realize how much I took them for granted when I lived close to them.

A beginning with no end, an end with no beginning

Really there is no way to describe how I am feeling. I am taking a day off tomorrow to collect myself and figure out what way is up. The last two photos sum up my feelings and mentality for this last couple of weeks. The rest are places, feelings, gifts, thoughts.

perspective

Lately life has been so busy, crazy and heart racing that all I want is some time to pull back and get a little perspective. Flying over Seattle helped. So did hanging out with a baby puppy named meyer. I forgot my computer charger, so this will be the last post until I return from Vancouver. But it is guaranteed I will have some good material when I am back. Canada is full of weird things that i can take pictures of...

daydream

I haven't been dreaming lately. I have been so busy, stressed and tired that I have ceased to have my normal nighttime visions. So I have been trying to escape by daydreaming. Going to a sunnier, happier places in my mind. Higher places, quieter places. If this were an alternate universe in which I could control my own location and destiny, I would be on top of a mountain in Japan. I imagine it to be misty, green, peaceful. Even though it is probably actually sunny, hot and loud. My life has been very loud lately. It's so nice when you can find moments of serenity in the midst. As I type this Petty sleeps on his back, his little back legs moving...i bet he is chasing a squirrel.
