are you trying to break my heart?

bacon does this thing where she goes and gets a toy and drops it at my feet. if i am busy i say sorry buddy and don't touch the toy. then she waits a minute and goes and gets another one. and another. and another. until there are 7 toys piled at my feet and she sits right in the middle of them showing how good she is and how perfect she can sit. this breaks my heart. in my mind i think she thinks that i don't like the first toy, or maybe i prefer the squeaky bone to the pink long dog. and if she brings me the right one, then that will be the key to unlock playing. i know she really just wants to play but for some reason this gets me every time.

don't give up.

i made the drawing below a couple of years ago during a particularly low time when i needed some extra encouragement. since then i have been a heavy user of the saying "don't give up".  i made some buttons with the message on them and was thinking of making some t-shirts.

imagine my delightful surprise when a quick search of the phrase on etsy yielded the following result!

of course i ordered them both right away from print liberation's awesome etsy shop.

it's a message even bacon can get behind.

why so serious?

please excuse my absence, i have been outside enjoying the SUNSHINE. looks like all my whining paid off. the last two days were filled with light and warmth and parks and rolling around in the grass. i also spent some time at swanson's nursery and did some cacti purchasing. let's hope i don't kill them. so breakdown averted, thank you sunny skies.

you make the knife feel good.

if it doesn't stop raining right this second i am going to scream. i know it is not fun talking about the weather all the time and in seattle we love to be like "omg it's snowing in april" but it really is hard to feel spring-y and excited about coming out of hibernation when you're perpetually damp. 

do you know what different types of people there are? the stranger does.
