"You Inspire Me"

Picture 6
You know I love Dallas Clayton. 

He's been on the blog a few times:
When his first book came out HERE
When he came to my classroom HERE
My Year 2 review HERE
When his second book came out HERE

I just saw his new line of inspirational watercolor posters and I am in LOVE once again.
They are each originals and every single one makes me smile. I would love to have them up in my classroom. Don't you feel happier, inspired, motivated?

"the light which shineth"

Picture 6

I had a bad week 2 weeks ago. It went like this:

+laptop crashed and 12,000+ photos GONE
+car problems mean $100+ here and another $2,700+ there. Guh
+new watch, broken. wah.
+possibility of a job change, then a call saying it wasn't going to happen. crushed
+looking for a new house to rent, proving to be let down after let down.
+my remote car keys both broken making that an almost $200 fix
+and sometimes I get overwhelmed with nova granola, which is actually only a good thing because that means business

sob. sob.

It's all cool now. Things get better. I have my laptop back and I learned a lesson in backing up important stuff. My car runs smooth. I bought a new watch. The new job might actually swing my way again. We'll find a house to rent eventually. My car keys are a go! Nova orders are made and I love doing it. I survive.

wanna know what felt good? reading this:
Doctrine & Covenants 88 verses 6-13

 7 Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made.
 8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;
 9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made;
 10 And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand.
 11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
 12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space—

TAL Live

ira glass
4/10/12

I went to a movie theater with some friends to see Ira Glass and performers do a live showing of This American Life. It was just as good to SEE as it is to listen to. Ira Glass is a talent and I was suuuuper happy that David Sedaris did an act. A comedian, Tig Notaro, did an act that I think was my favorite of the show. She has a podcast too called Professor Blastoff which I'm hoping is as funny as her standup was.
There was a rad dance company that performed too.
I'm gonna stop. I usually don't type this many words on a blog. I hope you can find a way to watch this one.

I turn 27 on June 7th. 
What better reason to daydream about things I want. 
It's pretty routine...black things, food things, things with studs, things that are meant for men, and things for summer. Bam time.

Trade

IMG_1425

My friend Julia and her husband are DIY dominators. They have a home they bought a year ago and are working hard at making it the tops. It blows my mind what transformations they do themselves and inexpensively.

Some of my favorite's:

A little bit ago, Julia and I did a trade. She made me a Falling Block Art piece and I made her some Nova Granola. How do I even express how much I love this block art? It's original and colorful and just what I needed for my living room. It makes me so happy every time I look at it.
You want one?
Go to her Etsty shop. She has other art too!

Thank you Julia! I feel so lucky.

If you go to Seattle...

I'll probably tell you to:


go to Green Lake. especially on a sunny day...and walk around...with good company like your mom.


and eat at the Agua Verda Paddle Club Cafe...and get the salmon fish tacos cause you'll be surprised that the salmon is smoked and extremely delicious.

a photo finish


For about $3 I printed off some new pictures to freshen up my photo wall.
And I vowed to print off my digital images more often. cheap and easy.
