Colorful Distraction

Today I felt colorful.

I decided my mood was purple.

I decided we needed a welcome mat.

Now we won't forget which house is ours.

Mowgli felt colorful too. I don't think he is color blind.

He thought the blue chalk tasted best.

I got real hot and real dirty out in the sun.

I met my next door neighbor for the first time.

I think I confused her.

She wanted to know what I was doing outside,

alone

in a dress

with sidewalk chalk.

I was just having fun, 

taking a break,

with dirty knees and goofy grins.

Just hanging out in the light with bright red lips.

I didn't feel like photoshopping all my freckles out.

I didn't feel like doing my hair either.

I get distracted easily.

I have a short attention span.

It keeps life interesting and fun.

So I don't mind it too much.

Although it looks like I will be taking my knitting to the movie theater tonight.

Awesome.
