Awkward square face

I could go back to the square faces of yesteryear but I should go back to the square faces of yesteryear (I’ll leave a link of those if you’re not familiar with them). But this is just instead of UGH an AWKWARD. I don’t think I like it. He doesn’t look awkward to me, not at all actually, he just looks pensive. Maybe trying to think and form the words out before fumbling with those words. Quite what I do. I think ahead of what I’ll say and not pick up on anything else but that this is what I said and now I’m panicking because you’re saying something I didn’t anticipate. And you’re upset and I didn’t make anything better, ugh. Oops let me just quietly back away. Okay, now it is awkward…now I see where it gets awkward…

The original square face

The original square face was featured in my sketchbook project which I mention in that entry. I didn’t take my time and I am not really thrilled with that sketchbook but I’d do the project again with a little more time and make it more like my blog.

Half Sun/Summer

Summer sun only half showing, grinning

I don’t know why it’s only half..perhaps because we’ve been experiencing mostly rain this past week, strong storms and mild temperatures. But I imagine this will all change and we’ll have the hot hot summers we all know and mostly hate here in Texas. Bleh because it’s only June 1st!

I checked out a Japanese haiku book out in the library for my kids. And I enjoy reading them as well. 

Saturday: Birds and Coffee

If I knew how to write a haiku I would write one about Saturday, birds and coffee.

Saturday coffee

Birds chirp their ceremony

A song ripe with love

That’s the best I can do in a moment’s notice.

But I doodled the Saturday and bird already:

A teeny bird on top of my coffee. His voice is so beautiful however small!

Even my cat Ralph is enjoying the songs of the birds this morning. Of course he’s plotting murder, I know it.

Catch you on the flippity flip

Half head is upside down

I feel not only half a head, but also completely turned upside down in a turmoil of my own thoughts. There’s no escaping them, they just hang upside down making absolutely no sense in the process. Ahhh, ohhh, eeehhh they flip and flop around in that topsy turvy way that they do. Until I’m together again I guess that’s just what they’ll do.

Catch you on the flippity flip!

Slow Grow

More turtles, earth appreciation, and moving cautiously, that’s about all the week has been. Yet it’s also been a bunch of overthinking, (crying) overwhelming mess. In time I guess I will not care so much, but at this time it is all that bothers me. Just people, people and their self-righteous judgements. People and whatever they think, but maybe it’s not about them. Deep inside I’m trying to see that I am a better person, and that I can change. But how do you leave the world of people and their opinions, and enter the world of the not caring about their stupid assumptions? I guess, it takes an inner strength, esteem, self-love that erases their voices out of your head and all you hear is this: I am worthy.

Okay I’m saying this all to the Internet that makes a lot of sense. Into the open plains of the Internet. Into the wired space jungle of the Internet. Okay, you get it..but people suck.

I can and I will
Earth! you amazing hunk of rock (and also you too moon)
I need all the coffees this week.
Watch out. People don’t really like you!

Slow Moving

Slow Moving

This weekend we kept dodging the turtles on the highway. One we had to move out of the road for fear someone would crush the poor guy. We had lots of rain so I guess they’re out and about and spring is ripe and blooming full.  Oh and not to mention the snakes are too ( did not replicate the snake though, or help it out of the way, but I did not run over it).

I guess the progress is going slow, however it is progress. I remain attached to my shell though, unless I need to retract. I think retracting is necessary. Then every once in a while popping out of my shell to give the ones I care about a doodle or two.
