Coming Mother...

Have you ever thought this while rolling your eyes in your head? Of course you have! Everyone has thought this at least once in their life. Lately it feels as if I am constantly at my mother's beck-and-call. Is this okay? Well, it's just dandy. The better I behave the more freedom I gain. So, this weekend I promise many updates with pictures. Pictures of my beautiful downtown Port Orchard that will send you flying to the skies. [while rocking your socks off in the process]

Coffee, oh heaven-like gift, coffee, coffee, coffee. It's strange. If I talked to kids in the middle of Washington most of them rarely ever like coffee. However, OH NO, not in Port Orchard (or any other city/town near Seattle). They all love coffee. I even take my coffee black. Some take it easy with just creamer while others take it with so much pizazz that I don't even know what they are asking for sometimes! So, if you are ever near Pike Place go to 107 Pike Place Seattle Washington for Seattle's Best Coffee. Forget that brand of Starbucks for once! Try and branch away. There are plenty of delicious art cafes around also. Enjoy!

DAY TWO, Confession Three: Sometimes I will sit in front of a computer, person, TV, homework and just think... "wouldn't it be nice just to go somewhere new for once?" and then feel gloomy shadows creep up at me because I know I can't go anywhere.

the Song that Never Leaves Your Head

Don't you love that song that never leaves your head? That you can pull up at any moment and just start singing as if it's playing on the radio. Today, I have that going for me. Pieces of lyrics just swim their way up to the murky surface of my ocean-like head. Coming out of the wreckage bellow of disorganized information.

DAY TWO - Confession Two: When I start to like someone, I always wonder if I am just liking them because they liked me first; And this makes me feel like I don't deserve love.

Quote of the Day: "What is family? They were the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole. They were the ones who showed up, who stayed in there, regardless. It wasn't just about shared blood relations or chromosomes, but something wider, bigger. We had many families over time. Our family of origin, the family we created, the groups you moved through while all of this was happening: friends, lovers, sometimes even strangers. None of them perfect, and we couldn't expect them to be. The trick was to take what each could give you and build your world from it."
