Thanks for seein' about a girl, friend. here's where I'm writing my own history—for you, for me and anyone else who needs to laugh to keep from cryin' every once in awhile.

-ING

getting: back into the swing of the blog thing (thanks to my Twitter chum, C, for the ever-present inspiration, but this post in particular) drinking: sweet tea, my summer indulgence

sitting: at my desk ...

remembering: how comfortable it actually is to sit here and type while ...

listening: to the staccato beats of my keypad jive with Philip Glass.

wearing: glasses, sweaty yoga pants and a tank top,

wondering: why I don't pay someone else to do the hair on my head that so totally needs to be done (ooh wee)!

ME - Hair Ain't Did

feeling: energized. it's too late for me to feel this energized. get ready to suck it, Tuesday.

reading: Quiet: The Power of Introverts In a World That Can't Stop Talking; James Baldwin: Collected Essays; Slaves in the Family by Edward Ball; All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks

wanting: to road trip, but being a grown-up with grown-up, busy, life-building friends is HARD. but please oh please doesn't someone want to join me here?!?!

wishing: I was singing, dancing and whiling away the hours in the shade of some old tree in one of the sweetest of places ...

So, what are you -ing lately, friends?

Happy Birthday, Mama!
