{all skate}

And there was ALL SKATE.  Love.me.some.all.skate.  I was never huge on sucking face or even holding hands with boys until well into my upper middle school years.  Nope.I frequented Starlite for joy.  For the stale, humid, trapped-inside cocktail of oxygen & carbon dioxide whipping through my side ponytail.  For the slippery tiled UNEVEN bathroom floors with NO DOORS on the stalls.  For the limbo competition.  And, of course, for ALL SKATE. Couples skate was B-O-R-I-N-G.

{cardi party}

I love the radicalness of a cardigan with denim shorts.  Mixing mint with electric blue, Meg? Um, yeah.  The bootie.  Ahh, the booo-tayyyy. It's in, peeps.  Now is the time to cover those crusty, chipped toenail polished feetsies. And who doesn't love a good ole worn out tee?  One so soft it may just serve as a sleeper shirt too.  Did I say that out loud?

{the middle}

There's a binding in the middle. You feel it.  You see the elderly with softer eyes. The younger ones, too.  You know the mistakes that they'll make; you have earned those scars. Things like touch and smell and stillness have a way of revival in your veins.  Beautiful lives in those moments.  Laughter feels deeper and rest comes just a bit easier.  Lessons fall into your lap over & over again. Ones learned and ones still hard to swallow.

The $3.00 Salute

12 quarters.  I am wearing twelve George Washington circular discs from head-to-toe.  Spelunk underneath your couch cushions or in the floor board of your vehicle and I.am.there.people.  Not only am I there, but I'm there in name brand.  To this, I say God Bless America.

YIKES sTrIpEs

Stripes are in, people.  Get your horizontal or your vertical, cats.  Me?  I love a stripe.  There's something about 2 colors that twirls my ponytail and tickles me pink.
