7:22 am monday morning thoughts

monday mornings are lovely, especially after a couple rainy/overcast day.

if i keep my windows open wide enough in the wee hours of the morning the birds bring me back to the age of 6 or close to it- if i imagine my grandmas bed and her pool and her squirty cheese & crackers. and summer mornings where i couldn't remember the time. also in order to make it feel like 6 you have to squeeze together your whole universe, leave some black around the edges. lots of black, lots of comfort in your parents. don't worry, it feels natural.

this morning i didn't feel crazy, just human. i think humans are bound to feel crazy but get that feeling mixed up for just being human.

i want a hammock for my porch.

sundays that feel like sundays are lovely.

dreaming about drawing everything in sight is lovely. the perfect shadows, the perfect curves.. everything in perfect form.

i wish i had this shirt to wear today!! going to columbus after class today with kara and ethan to meet up with carley and sell my morning jacket tickets.. i hope we find some good thrift stores!!!

2) Hike the Appalachian trail, starting in West Virginia possibly.. and heading north eastern!! end up in Maine.. if time permits? this one will happen around august 25th, mos def. The picture below was taken last summer when my friends Kara, Michael, John, Paige, and Nick hiked some of the Appalachian Trail.. Tis a beaut!!!

3) My closest cousin Shelby will give birth to her baby boy Jasper in early September!!! I hope I can be there when it happens.

4) Bike to Nelsonville again and hang out in town. I have never been to Stuart's Opera House but I'd like to check the place out. Oh, and I guess on Tuesdays (?) Swimming at the indoor pool is free!

5) Finish One Hundred Years of Solitude. (and enjoy doing so.)

6) Successfully grow my three sunflowers. But this one is out of my hands. They will grow if they want to. (come on lil' boogers!!!!!)
