Ruby Sky

As most of you know, I used to nanny part time for one of the coolest kids.... ever.

I watched her for almost a year.
I watched her go from age 1 to age 2
I watched her grow from a baby to a little girl.

I miss her.

Probably one of the funniest faces I've ever seen her make

because my love for you can not be compared by a thousandrea.
and i know you will soon be back inlandrea.
so let me tell you firsthandrea.

Pillow making

So, I recently made a pillow for the first time. I had made dream pillows before for a few friends but those were more like sacks of herbs if you ask me...

Anyways, I was very pleased with the results. I hand sewed everything which I really enjoyed. Maybe some day I'll give in and use a sewing machine but I love just sitting and sewing and not thinking about anything.

I gave the pillow as a house warming gift to the one person I knew would appreciate it to it's fullest potential, and he did.

Here are some photos of how it turned out.

ya dig?

I'm really feelin' this blogging thing lately. I would really like to know who actually reads it though. If you read it on the regular, please leave me a comment and all you have to say is macaroni. No questions asked.

Animals

Now that i'm alone i feel the lonely brokeness
of all the wicked avenues i've ever sold my love on
all these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
i'm the outright abandon of this orphan child
home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace
i guess i'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse
and to wake up half empty
only to be filled again with mourning
he's my evil shadow dove
my black palamito
can't break him like a diamond skull
i can't seem to do so
can't just rob him out like the
mob used to do so
like memories of porno and tearstains
and tobacco O it's a mini disastro
bigger than the ice age don't know if baby dinosaurs
maybe could live throught it, like indians and butterflies
what's crushed is my spirit, oh i fear it is too fragile
like fall leaves burn like paper

I always knew i would spend a lot of time alone
no one would understand me
maybe i should go and live amongst the animals
spend all my time amongst the animals
and on the tracks i would go they lead to the sea
to be amongst the animals

Oh i'm just a fall leaf something simple and shy like that
that's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk
like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons
i sit and entertain the bizarro ghosts of my soul
his name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue
perhaps i'm just teething for a foreign fallen destiny
miserable but mine, i look like his mother
or sophia loren in an old fashioned movie
slow motion i cling to my child desesperate for love
one day soon my brohter died, made me remember all the
subordinate feelings i cast aside
maybe i had lied when i said i was ok
just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say
"wild willow, windy winter won't you blow through me
my whole eternity"

I always knew i would spend a lot of time alone
no one would understand me
maybe i should go and live amongst the animals
spend all my time amongst the animals
and on the tracks i would go they lead to the sea
to be amongst the animals

I always knew i would spend a lot of time alone
no one would understand me
maybe i should go and live amongst the animals
spend all my time amongst the animals
and on the tracks i would go they lead to the sea
to be amongst the animals

Red Yarn

If I could have my way with you I would wrap you up in red yarn and keep you by my side.

And I would feed you red sprinkles.

And you would be with me for all of my adventures from now on until forever.
