cozy

i don't know guys, i'm just in a good mood. i just wanted to say hi. just drank the best/strangest beer i ever had, Consecration by russian river brewery. sour. it is a completely sour, deliciously sour brew. if you like sour you will like this startling flavor like cold wood from the sweet mossy floor of an enchanted wine-soaked forest of my imagination. anyway so addie and i shared some and it's made me a wee bit loopy and happy and dreamy. i thought i'd show a few more of my Color Outfit pics before i go off the wagon on that whole deal. i don't like that every other day's color is white or black or grey. in case you missed it this is according to my llewellyn's witches' datebook. dude they haven't used red or pink even once. it's almost february and i am ready for red and pink. also the colors of the winter sky: purple, navy, cerulean, lavender.

they do give me gray. this is a monday color,

a gray day, also a bookstore day.

i like trying to dress bookstorey for work days.

i like gray because my billy-bobie has lots of gray. other than that, i only have four or five items that are gray in my entire life. i really do like it though...for rainclouds and skies and silk and brains and stones and castles and whales.

on a sweeter note, i had a girlfriend's reunion with some of my oldest and dearest ladies.

addie (my own sis, lucky me) rebecca, carolann, and doniella.

ten years ago we celebrated new years in ashland oregon with midnight swinging, bar hopping, creekdipping, swan dancing, and a ridiulous little exercise called B.A.Ps.

(i will let you in on the secret. it's "books and pens" club)

actually darin was there (only boy! before we were together!) and addie wasn't.

anyway point is us girls go waaaaayyy back.

each one of them is a poet, a brilliant and magical dreamer, and a sweetest heart woman of wonders.

and now we're drinking this kinda wine, if you know what i mean ;)

it was a perfect girls night. looking at old photos, talking about sex, and eating copious amounts of pasta.

oh and a little chocolate cake never hurt anybody.

addie kept a cozy fire going all night in her cabin in the woods.

my color the next day was yellow;

a color i can easily embrace. and the girls liked it on me so i was happy.

i got this gorgeous old south american vintage embroidered skirt years ago when special thrift store skirts were still cheap.

ahhh life, colorful silly rambunctious life.

it's tuesday tomorrow. that used to be our magic day, addie and i. we would go leave secret notes on our friend's cars at the college parking lot then take weird random little day trips around the county being goofy having laugh attacks, peeing our pants and listening to erasure and yaz.
