A Bit Out Of Sorts

I have been feeling a bit out of sorts lately.
Like I'm not quite myself.
Or I'm not all here.
Maybe a part of me is in Utah,
and another part is back in California or North Carolina, maybe even Idaho...
Who knows.
Maybe I really am all here and I just haven't unpacked that part yet.

It could be that it just doesn't feel like home yet.
See that shiny (dare I say) sexy little laptop on the couch?
I saved up for that and got it in the mail today!
Mowgli has a new hobby.
It's called looking at the window and barking at anything that moves.
It's a migraine causing hobby, but I just can't convince myself to close the blinds!
Tea for breakfast.
Everyday.
We get the greatest view from our patio.
Today's View: Fuzzy squirrel butt.
I wish I had a tail like a squirrel.
I think my gargoyle is not doing his job in guarding my mantle.
Look at that grin.
Toothy grin of a lazy guardian.
Now I think i need to straighten my Wall of Art.
No wonder my gargoyle is laughing.
Full sized kitchen means:
Meals will be cooked here.
No more ramen.
 Calla lilies will always remind me of my sister Kate.
Her birthday is tomorrow.
I worry about poor Tree-Man's health.
All that smoke can't be good for him.
I apologize, I just really like incense. 
Mother, here is the bonsai! I pruned and trimmed him down to size.
Isn't he a beauty?
Mowgli must always be the center of attention.
but
The first thing I see when I look out my window is this.
Oh, how I love nature.


Did you hear?
We are living with roommates.

I promised myself last year I would never live with roommates again.
Just like the 12 year old me promised myself I would never live in Arkansas.

Here I am, living in Arkansas with roommates.

Life is tricky sometimes.
You never know just what to expect.

  5. You have such a cute place! And I love calla lilies, they were my flowers for my wedding. I'm sorry about the roommates. I hope they are better than your past roommates. And I'm really happy you have trees outside. I always pictured Arkansas as pretty barren or grassy for some reason...

  6. I rather enjoy roommates. I didn't think I did until I started using craigslist and stopped bunking with friends. Now, no problem.

    I have a scare Gnome who seems to have the same problem as your gargoyle. He is letting gnomes onto the porch to make noise. Bad scare Gnome!

  11. I like how you seem to photograph everything, anything. And then you post it here. And even though I don't know you, I still like hearing your stories, little statements.

    P.S. You've been tagged.
