random thoughts of loveliness.

I have been wanting, really, I know I've said this before, but I seriously wanted to post something recently. But..........I sit down and my mind just goes blank. Honestly, I try to blog and I can not think of anything blog-worthy. 


So, I was reading this blog and I thought, I'll to a post about things that I love, things that inspire me, things I like to do. :) Here goes!
(just so ya know, these are in no particular order, just things that come to mind...)

• my dog, Penny. I love her quirky-ness, and how she acts when she's really excited. <3
• my sisters, my brother, my parents. My sister, O-dog (her nickname, that totally suits her!) is such a character. I love that she's so outspoken, even though she never shows it. Karyberry, my other sister (again, her nickname...) has the personality of three people packed into her little six year old self. Every now and then she has some attitude. Oh yeah, baby! *finger snaps* My brother, well, he's a bass player, who taught himself by ear. Very musical, I believe that his headphones have become part of his body. =P He also is a bit of a comedian now and then....
• the smell of fall, when the leaves are wet and have descended to the ground. It's........a sweet smell. 
• photography. <3 I love to capture photo's in artistic, emotional, and poetic ways. My Canon T3i is my baby. =)
• writing. I love the steady sound of my keyboard clicking away as I type. Composing a story that may never be untold. Feelings put into words. That cursor, blinking away as I pause for a thought, begging, urging, taunting me to keep going. 
• the sweet smell of brownies, and vanilla. 
• random outbursts of laughter as my brother watches funny videos on his computer. Tim Hawkins, Bob Smiley, John Branyon. Especially at really intense moments in movies. lol 
• I hate the smell of wax crayons, pencil crayons have always been my preference. 
• one of my pet peeves, the tv commercials where the models look in the camera awkwardly for perfume, make up, hair products. 
• My bible. The cover, the words inside. The promises, the reassurance. 
• brand new pens and pencils. 
• old, rustic, swings, worn from years of use and weather, in lush green yards under a big, broad, tree. 
• warm, fuzzy, puppies curled up in your lap. 
• instruments in pictures.
• quilts. Home-made quilts, the real kind. They are just so cozy looking and welcoming. :)
• old fashioned letters, hand written with love and care. 

Well, that's all for now. I am so tired after Taekwondo testing for my next belt tonight.
