innocent vigilant (extra?) ordinary

that song makes me dance around the cabin like a fool. 

looks like i'm not getting much sleep tonight. 

all i can do is lay here and dream of you. 

"i find it shelter to speak to you."

today, man... what a beautiful day. 

not much tops waking up to a bright, crisp sunday morning. a late, lazy brunch of french toast with candied almonds and maple syrup and organic fair trade coffee (ooh la la boulder!!!) with a devastatingly charming, handsome man really set the tone for my day. 

listening to eddie vedder's 'throw your arms around me' with the windows down watching the sun set didn't hurt much either. 

i've been thinking of different ways to get back in touch, to emerge from this period of silence. 

i'm coming back. 

i'm coming out of the quiet. 

i'm crawling out of the cave. 

finally. 

the sunshine feels amazing on my back.

a happy sunday to everybody. 

No Ceiling

spring has officially sprung at the cabin. 

i am also officially 25 years old. 

yay?

right off the bat i'll say sorry for the lack of pictures. i've been having some issues with my camera. they'll be up soon. 

i've been doing my best to stay busy these past few weeks. i've completely cleaned the cabin from every dark, dusty corner to the tops of the walls in every room (which were in dire need of a good scrub down).

i have about a million different recipes i'd like to try out and have been doing my best to knock them out, one by one. this weekend i made some ridiculously juicy, good pork chops, brine courtesy of Smitten Kitchen.

i've also begun planning my little garden and need to get a move on planting. i signed up for the community produce exchange, and i'm pretty stoked to have fresh, local veggies ALL SUMMER. 

honestly, things have been really tough without kesey dog by my side. i've been pretty distant lately, for that i apologize, but i just really need some peace and quiet. 

just wanted to put a tiny update out there.

oh, and one more thing. i know this album came out quite some time ago, i had actually picked it up on its release date, but it's really been a car staple for me recently. maybe it's because i've harbored a borderline obsessive crush on eddie vedder since his pearl jam ten days, but i am in love with the into the wild soundtrack. if you haven't heard, please check it out. if you can't afford to pick it up, email me. i'd be more than happy to burn you a copy or whatever. 

ok, that's all.

goodnight, and be well.
