Paying for coffee in change

A smile falls on my shoe.
You? Yes. You, too.

A tooth falls on my shoe.
And I just do. I chew.

Chloe channels Peko girl

Lalala

delusional.
in denial.

lalala.

You know

The girls in polyester band aid dresses are blinded
and dizzy and starving for dirty-nailed finger
fucking that dries under the nails of the boys
who drag their cologne-clouds home with them at 5 am,
kicking cans over chewed apples and naked cockroach
exoskeletons

shouting wildly down
the pre-dawn street

Chump the grump

Waaah wahh! Hungry! Angry! HANGRY!!!

Waaah...

Waaahhhhh...

aaahhh...

What? There will be what soon?

Meeeelk, did you say? MEEE-lk?

Belated 26th M.

Me + You + Strawbelly = a whole lotta Love.
Thank you for liking this pajama-wearing, cookie-craving, occasionally whiny P. from the start.

Hello, turtle

It'd be nice to be you right now. That is, assuming that the turtle is being set free into the water (not stolen from the sea)

Paddle on.

I eat you

feeling incredibly swamped with work. can't wait to graduate, yet at the same time i just can't see how i'm gonna make it to the other side with this monolithic concrete wall in the way.

hmm. whatevs. tough times won't last, but TOUGH PEOPLE WILL. so yeah, watch me bust out my inner Cristina Yang.

(Drew and I have been catching up on Grey's Anatomy. So good.)

Okay, back to work.

Brunch with cousin Tammy

It was so beyond lovely catching up. I love seeing family. <3

Happens way too often

Chloe in a bonnet

Nectarine things

This reminds me of the lavender bushes in my Aunt June's front yard. It also reminds me of the little girl named Lavender in Roald Dahl's book, Matilda.

Always been a fan of contrasting patterns.

I can't wait to paint on all sorts of unconventional things with Chloe, including clothespins. We'll use shaving cream mixed with food coloring to paint on bathroom tiles. And leave little messages & symbols on foggy windows.

Sigh... still on my Whole Foods cookie ban. :(

Bet you never thought paradise would come by the way of an elephant. The only elephant I own is one named Alfred Veronica, a delightful little creature that my sissy brought back from Bangkok.

Mailbox & daisies.

1. I don't know why I think of marbles when I see the colors on these pants. 2. I'm aware that there are many who'd find these pants quite unbecoming. 3. But I'd like to rule the world in them.

Legit.

To be frozen: strawberries dipped in greek yogurt. When I first saw this picture, I thought it was white chocolate. I'd be lying if I said that didn't excite me more.

It's all about how high you're gonna set your standards.

One day, a penguin

Brings to mind the fond childhood memory of watching Pingu Penguin.

That awkward moment

when you are yelling at someone and fumble on a word and it ruins the seriousness.

Walking on the beach

It gets progressively funny.

In the foyer

Such an awesome idea. Chalkboard mail organizer on Etsy. Hmmm maybe we can make our own version of this. Love DIY projects!

I look forward to

every weekend with them.

Sumo sumo

Drew and I were musing over the art form and sport of sumo wrestling.

Me: Could you be a sumo wrestler?

"Yeah, I'll disappear inside someone's folds."

hahaha. must've forgotten who I was talking to.

A Spell

Who's treat

Tomato basil soup & a grilled cheese sammich

Dessert.

Pull your sleeves up

it's arts & crafts time.

Lace lamp

Too bad I'm actually very stingy when it comes to my pencil erasers. It sends me in a panic whenever I am pressed to use them; I almost never do. Maintaining the perfect, untouched state of every pencil eraser has always been a matter of pride.

Fingerprinting. Cool idea for a guest book.

Glowsticks in the tub

Home and food

I think it's one of the most quietly fascinating things to take note of what items others keep on their bedside tables. For all those who don't know, I'm crazy about bedside table displays, and patterned rugs. But the patterns cannot be obnoxious. None of the explosively floral patterns that guarantee nausea.

Too cool for school

You wasted life

why wouldn't you waste the afterlife

This song is always good.
