snow is lovely but...

i'm ready for summertime. sunshine. warm weather. tan skin and bleached hair. flip flops and sundresses. driving with the windows down. popsicles and barbecues. i'm ready for it. *sigh*

until then though, i will enjoy the loveliness of winter. snow softly falling from the sky. a cozy blanket by the fireplace. sipping hot tea. my yellow mittens. cute layering winter clothes. i do love all of those things. but i miss the sunshine most of all. the happiness it brings. oklahoma was colder than alaska this morning. that's a problem for me. i do not live in alaska. i live in oklahoma. i will stop complaining now.

i've had some thoughts on tattoos... doing some research last night and i've narrowed it down to 3 choices...

1. 'fearless" tattoo. this would be small and somewhere i will see it often as a reminder to live my life fearlessly. i really like the idea of it being a finger tattoo.

2. 'fly higher' possibly with a small bird/wings emblem next to it. meaning to do better. work harder. go farther. push yourself constantly. coming from the martha graham quote about our arms coming from our backs because they were once wings... i love the incorporation of dance in this. really liking this option, but cant really decide on location or design... wrist?

3. 'strength' symbol in chinese. it's got a great look to it. this would be on my left foot. i love everything that 'strength' stands for. physically, mentally, emotionally, it's so important to me to have strength.

those are my 3 choices. it's going to be really hard for me to decide which one i want to get... a lot of thinking will have to go into it. i'll update you with further details later on...

driving to oklahoma city tomorrow to look at my APARTMENT!!!! you have no idea how excited and happy this makes me. my very own apartment. i cannot wait. :D

goodnight world. i love life.
