there are certain things i like

there's an expression in our household, and it goes a little something like this "but there are certain things i like!". one would say this particular expression if you were asking your spouse to go get you a big bowl of ben and jerry's- or better yet, you ask them to just go get you the whole container. or if you rub your scratchy feet back and forth on their legs in bed and they ask you to stop and you say "but there are certain things i like!". or if you need to do certain things on the weekend, like get drink treats or go to bed at 6:30pm. it's all for the love of "there are certain things i like". you should try it, because it gives you permission to do and ask for all sorts of crazy things, free of guilt.

so here i present a list of certain things i like lately:

dreaming big

being together

being alone
making the little baby on my tattoo hold funny things like seashells

meditating

laying in the grass on tapestries

long tables filled with cool people

chocolate and candles and paint splatters

sharing art supplies and leading a workshop! (and evidently having bad posture and sticking my post baby tummy out!)
-sweet friends from NH
creative masterminds
funny baskets of art supplies, especially the rainbow brite lunchbox filled with scraps

roadtrips, and then coming home again


what are your certain things that you like? xx
