me+pencil=stuff.

the word 'stuff' in the title equals a long sentence:
me+pencil=little sisters in awe. ahem.
here it is, and please...i haven't drawn in so long. haven't been obsessive about it in more than a few years.

click so you can see it bigger...
i used to draw all the time in my early teen years, with pencils, pens, screw-up crayons of all colors. that was before the coffee-writing-photography-food obsession, so yeah . . . you can see how things switch up in the seasons of life.
there...now you know just one more of the how-many talents i got to discover and learn more about when i was younger and in home-school. :) i'll not mention the hours i used to spend crocheting and knitting and creating crochet patterns of my own--and not simple ones at that. i was around 10-13 when i was into that. lots of people at church with babies on the way got little hats made by my learning hands and approval-seeking heart.

ah, and this afternoon anna and i went to meet a friend at panera bread...

anna got an orange scone and a gorgeous mug of chai tea latte.

sorry. the colors and everything in this picture just makes me feel all happy and calm.
...i got a large coffee. it was filled 3 times, in the conversation plus the supply for going home.
something pretty darn exciting and new to me: mrs. s at the adventures of mr. superman and mrs. s. . . . (tongue twister, yes?? ;) emailed me asking me if i'd like to guest post for her.
oh. my.
heck yeah!
i've loved her blog for a while....all the sweet and-or amusing posts and their adorableness. who wouldn't like their blog. hehe:)
so, tomorrow sometime maybe i'm hoping to work on writing that post, since she gave me a few q's to work with --just reading them in the email my mind started spinning. :)

...i'm ready to dye my growing-out hair....in a few days. a bit lighter, methinks. spring is almost here. almost.
well, this is a short post because of the time change. it's 10:30pm right now, because we change ours around dinner time. and i'm going to bed --er, reading this ww2 book in bed-- earlier than normal. yay, huh? yes!
:)
i shall write about the exciting friday night i had.....the wonderful awesome reason why i didn't blog yesterday;).......
soon.
i promise.
