trying to balance on a soapbox.

i have always been known as a bit of a music snob. i don’t mean to be, but i just really love sound, words and the way musicians can so often brilliantly combine them. 
i don’t know maybe its the mood i am in, or just the feeling i got but today when i turned on the today [...]

to save a wooden life.

it had to be done. those giant eyes were calling to me as i went to turn off the light each night.
why us? they said.
why so many hands?
why are we dragged across the floor?  
why are our heads bang into the ground? 
our faces hurt, our heads hurt, our ears hurt and we are close to [...]

story time at the squid.

the pajama squid had its first story time on friday, the 22′nd of august. it went over really well, and 6 kids showed up, and i thought that was a good turn out.
karen was a great reader, and did a fabulous job of getting the kids involved. they were sharks, then fishes and then squids.
even [...]

super cute shoes at the squid.

i am carrying these super cute mesh green shoes right now and i am crazy about them.
Jinwood’s casual line is fantastic! Its as though I have stumbled upon the old school shoes of yesteryear for little ones. These shoes are retro and fabulous, and unfortunately too small for me because if I could I would [...]

no notes of happiness.

i am so bummed by the resume’s i have been getting in for the store. i posted an ad on craigslist about hiring someone just for sunday’s.

rambling, explaining and me.

dear readers,
for some of you that know me well, know that i have a slight, an itsy bitsy have you, problem of rambling when i am nervous or over explaining that which wasn’t cared enough about to be explained in that much detail to begin with. others might also realize that i have brought this [...]

tell me the truth.

 
it is amazing to me how many people just lie right to a person’s face, and don’t think twice about it. yesterday was just another example of someone straight lying to my face.
this has happen quite a bit with people needing change for the parking meters, they seem to love to hit up my store for change. at least 3 [...]

rain.

i love the type of rain maryland is having today. where the sky just opens and the rain falls hard and determined. then just like that it disappears and the sun comes out. i can not wait for the day to be over because finally after nearly a week of being gone for work related projects, my [...]

seriously.

this morning i decided to check the bathroom at the store because i didn’t get to last night before leaving, and just as i was driving away remembered that this 10 year old boy had gone back their to use the bathroom and for a moment had a bit of panic as i drove away [...]
