i look for you in everything.

sometimes i am in love with everything. i will be walking along and boom it hits me. the trees, the sky, the way halo's hair looks like it has gold in it when the sun hits it. all these things make me feel uncontrollably happy, and also overwhelmed. like i can't handle it. it usually makes me cry which is not the reaction i want to be having. i don't know why this happens but i am glad for it, that i can get so worked up about everyday things. today doesn't feel like that though, which i am also glad for.

we are going to mexico in 3 days and i am going to show my kid what a beach really is. i can't wait.

it's hard to feel bad.

shea's squids!

heartbreak[er] was a great success!

more of shea's rad art.

thank you lovely guests!

first show together.




and evangeline came all the way from portland!

thank you thank you thank you!

you know you're no good.

this friday:

pretty please come to this show! shea's squids are not to be missed!

belated

i am so rude, i forgot my blogs birthday! this little guy is 2 years old!
here is what i have been into lately:

octopus bacon!! i am not kidding. that is a scallop wrapped in bacon made from an octopus and it is the best thing i have ever eaten. trust.

paul was sad the octopus bacon came so quickly into our lives, and was gone just like that.

family portrait, christmas edition!

caterpillar roll!

and this is pretty much how i roll these days. my crew is tough so don't step.

some thoughts

1. i've been thinking about getting a penpal. maybe I should get a PO box first. i wouldn’t want anyone to hand deliver a letter. i would probably answer the door in my pajamas with paint all over them and be too worried about what the neighbors might think to actually enjoy the mail. whenever the doorbell rings unexpectedly i feel terrified. i want to read a letter from a stranger and if it is delivered by the author then they are not really a stranger anymore. I think most the time the internet is great. and lately its been like when you walk into a bar and its filled with babes and they are all really smart and interesting but not at all pretentious, so its been really good checking out links and what not. but I am worried about the amount of time i spend with internet, so maybe i should get back to handwriting and reading things on paper. maybe that is wasteful, but i am going to give it a shot.

2. i like when people update their blogs constantly. it makes me feel more productive if i am reading their blogs at work.

3. i would like hotmail to add a delete button at the bottom of the page as well as the top, so you don't have to scroll all the way back up after you read an email you want to delete. some options down there at the bottom would be nice. i can't bring myself to fully stop using the hotmail account that was my first email account ever started when i was 14 even though it is only spam now.

4. dear anyone who makes/designs clothes: please stop producing "shrunken" cardigans, cropped tops, or anything that is tiny fit. i spent the usual amount of time as a little girl and it was pretty great, but i don't really want to dress like i kept my clothes from 20 years ago regardless of my growth. i am a woman, i would like to look like one. thanks.

5. how do deadbeat dads have any friends? or girlfriends? why does no one care about these things.

some nights it's just a crush some nights it's bloodlust.

i'm pretty sure this year is starting of with some epic highs and lows. it's confusing me. i am trying to stick to the posi side. i took a train last weekend to canada so that was good, photos forthcoming of some amazing food. and a new art show coming on february 1st!

goodbye 2007.

oh i kind of forgot to blog in december.

it was busy. but we had a pretty tree living in our house. i am stoked for the new year. i hope you are too.

i know this picture doesn't look like much, but its the whole future, spilled out right there.

new big exciting things, i can feel it. can you?

hot thanks

lucky number seven

halo turned 7 last sunday!

bowling bash.

puncle got the best shoes.

we sang happy birthday...

but i forgot the candles for the spiderman cake, so he blew out imaginary ones. the wish still totally counts.

and then we bowled our hearts out!

gobblez.

Halo was excited for thanksgiving. He has been vegetarian his whole life.

but this year we decided to eat the real bird. it took some convincing.

he wasn't too keen on the idea at first.

we went to a friends house and there was so much deliciousness.

he gave the bird some poking and prodding and then took a bite!

his inspiration.

i think he took 3 bites in all and chewed each one for about 20 minutes.
then he got silly. Not sure if he is ready to be and omnivore but he gave it a good try.

quackers.

someone is turning 7 in a week and a half. watch out!

november 17th

and last but not least it was little erin's birthday!

we had an epic dinner and celebrated her turning 30.

she was so happy, i love this girl so much.

happy birthday little e!!

november 16th

this lovely creature is my darling nancy, next in the trifecta of birthdays!

i have known her the longest (11 years!) and can honestly say she is the best person i know. she's all the way in LA and i wish i could be there today.

this girl is the truest friend, and the best person to lay in bed and laugh/cry/watch 90210 with.

i love you noonc, happy birthday!

november 15th

my 3 best friends in the world have birthdays 3 days in a row. this cannot be a coincidence, can it?
my dear jeffery dean hellis starts off first!

halo and i love him to pieces. he is family. he is a lifer.

he has been my hero since i moved to seattle. if i listed even a fraction of the things he has done for halo and me this blog would take up the whole internet.

happy birthday buddy, i love you.

i got lost in the sound

show at sugartown vintage last saturday was goodtimes!

my lovely sister.

good finds.

halo wanted one of these. i said no.



chicks hangin'.

Ava stopped by and did not have a bunny in her mouth.

ships

how are you?

the pumpkin king

trick-or-treat!

halo was a little darth vadar for the second year in a row. i tried to get him to pick another costume but he had his heart set on it. next year he said he would be a "bloody zombie, but not too scary".

ava came over to chew some more bunnies.

little bug.

obligatory porch shot.

oh, did i mention i was a beaver?

with a beaver buddy?

and the teeth are coming in full force! check the guy on the left, he is winning the race!

sooner or later you'll bare your teeth

joanna newsom at benaroya hall.

with an orchestra!

epic.

i'll admit it, i cried a little.

glow on.

we got down with some pumpkin carving this weekend.

halo is a master gut scooper.

ava came over in her costume. it was unbearabley cute.

until she started biting the heads off bunnies.

still scoopin'.
this day was perfect.

toothless

look at those new teeth! grown-up teeth peeking out!

new smile.

not too cute though, still spooky.

little vampire.

the best.

our work is never over.

new show coming soon in ballard! yay!

teeth takers

halo is impossible to wake up.

we are not morning people.

today was harsh, i felt awful having to wake him only to drag him to the dentist. those top two front baby teeth have been giving him trouble.

the dentist pulled them out, i thought they were just going to x-ray them. scary.

but look! he's just fine and such a handsome new smile! he thought the whole experience was really funny, must have been all that nitrous oxide.
such a brave little dude!

kingfish

as much as i wish i did, i don't like fried chicken. i know that now.

your magic is real

i am hiding in my office. most days i hide in my office. there are no windows, it's on the sixth floor but it feels underground. i don't mind it, it's like a big cave and i feel safe in it. it's horrible out, raining and windy and dark. i keep thinking about how sunny and beautiful it was at the pumpkin patch this weekend. about halo's crooked smile. he drew a picture for me at school yesterday of us there and he was holding a pumpkin and hugging me and there were 3 hearts floating out of his head. this picture killed me, it is the best thing ever. i keep thinking today how great things were that day, how everything is okay thru the eyes of a 6 year old, how real they are. i am glad he was thinking about this day yesterday, i hope we remember it forever. i hope i hope i hope.

hunting for witches

it's totally autumn. we went to the pumpkin patch at remlinger farms and spent 5 hours in all the mayhem.

paul came with us, he bought a green pumpkin.

the scarecrow guy on the right was our favorite, this picture doesn't do him justice.
