cold confetti.

I'm very much in love with these songs: I got a dress in the mail yesterday.  A gorgeous dress.  From a friend.  From my favorite store. I couldn't believe it.  Whilst waiting in line to pick up my package, I flipped through a catalog of pretty dresses, wanting one. Then my pretty dress.  Wow!  From…

documented in a kitchen.

So much ridiculousness. This is me procrastinating. But I had to document real fast. First off, I'm wearing more make-up in this picture than I have since... well, like Halloween or something.  Maybe some other event.  But never in real Jackson life do I wear this much. A friend at work and I decided to…

awesomeness via dabzzzz…

just had to holler at a couple things: you can be a puppet! BE A PUPPET. and if you love The Office and you love a little rap music in your life... first off, we're friends.  secondly, get excited: http://fuckyeahmashups.tumblr.com/post/451432996/clockwork-office-musik-dwight-k-shrute-vs [these are both courtesy of dabnizzle, roommmate/crafter/teacher/rapper/turtle-tamer.]

tryin’ to do some lovin’.

Good morning. Listen. Was listening to this with clients in the car the other day. An older man of a client turned to me and said... - Rachel, have a heart.  Don't let your heart get hurt while you're tryin' to do some lovin'. [ah-mazing.]

smiles are pretty.

[everything is just so so exciting.] Yesterday I awoke early and started out on my bike.  The Tetons beamed in the morning light at me whilst I yawned into a smile.  I thought, I am so lucky. The loveliness of this now.  This day.  This love.  This joy.  I am lucky. I sang this song…

mixing it up.

I have friends who live off of a road called, "Heck of a Hill Road"... no kidding. This winter, my poor car, Bruce, could not make it up to their houses for good, fun times. So, I'd have to park at the bottom and a friend would have to shuttle me up. The first time…

THERE’S NO MARSHMALLOWS!!

St. Patrick's Day was an amazing success of a night. Who knew so many people could fit into a quaint Wilson guest house? And the kicker of the amazing night was that the lovely Gretchen Davis was there! Gosh, I love this girl. She's the girl that's drinking rum and cokes on St. Paddy's while…

time is your love.

A love just sent me this: Ah-mazing. Gosh, I love watching those kids sing.  Such a beautiful thing.  And AND such an awkward thing. Remember that age?  How awkward you were.  Looking back at pictures and not knowing what to think.  Laughing, trying not to look directly at the old you. Gosh.  A little bit…

how connected we are.

I don't usually just refer to another person's post.  But, I kinda want to... so I will. JH UNDERGROUND's Mobilizing Against Idling. I think it's awesome.  The one day [ever] that I leave a note on a stranger's car, my blahg friends find it... after a morning of sitting around talking about idling.  I love…

telesaurus rex.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...  b-e-a-utiful! Got to watch some of the Town Downhill.  [a downhill ski race in town... obvi.] Brought some clients [cuz i'm working].  We got to see Anna speed down the hill dressed as a dinosaur.  [a woman after my own heart.]  She was coined the "Telesaurus Rex".  Awesome.…

discarded.

The deodorant I recently bought smells like Yosemite.  Or, wait... no, it smells like the kind I wore in Yosemite.  Either way, it brings me back almost every time I put it on. Also, I saw a discarded bouquet this morning.  It brought me back.  Again, to Yosemite. One day I came back to my…

hollers.

First off, two months ago called me today.  He told me to get so, so psyched on this song/video: Secondly, what's better than a Rock Opera? A Folk Opera. [well, unless it's a rock opera with puppets...] Just saw An Education. Very good. Makes me want pretty dresses from the 60s and some super hipster…

like butter played toast.

I finally made this awesome purchase. Hope you poured one out for Biggie Smalls (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997) today. [mom, don't click on this video.]

this shit is bananas.

Went to buy bananas the other night.  Just bananas.  Well, and tea.  I'm broke, y'all. Anywho, my options for bananas were... Regular bananas... in a bunch... as is. OR Organic bananas... in a plastic bag... every single bunch in their own plastic bag. Really, Dole? Well, pick your poison. My biggest complaints?  How the hell…

like slow ferris wheels.

[just some things i very much love for your midmorning.] [designs for good music.] [a song.] [be a kid again.] [jonathan.] [coffee.] [billy.] These days every morning begins like a joke you think you have heard before, but there is no one telling it whom you can stop. One day it's about a cow who…

forcing everything metal to shine.

It's okay to not be okay sometimes... right? Is it selfish? Or true? Or dramatic? Or real? Or delusional? Or raw? I am overwhelmed, disappointed, empty. Overwhelmed by the lacking in my life.  The things I want that I won't even reach for.  The things I won't ever have.  The somethings that are my nothings.…

it’s a bird! it’s a plane!…

Nope. IT'S MY NEW PTERODACTYL RING! Wow.  Awesome. My new friend came in the mail from the awesome mother, wife, friend, runner, dancer, Victorite, Lauryn. But he did come with some rules... Instructions for Dino-myte 1) Wear @ least 1x per week DONE.  Well, thus far, I've worn it every day I've had it.  I…
