good eye-lash days







That eyelash is a jerk! I can't believe she had to fall out before I even saw him! STUPID! She was lovely. She was about a centimeter longer than all her sisters. AND! She was in the very corner of my eye where she curled up beautifully. I have never had an eyelash quite as lovely as she. Blast. You know when you have a good eyelash day how delicious that is? Well she gave me a good eyelash day for the past couple weeks! I'll have a nice little funeral for her and start eating lots of protein so hopefully a junior will grow back. Katie says that you should eat lots of protein so your hair will grow faster... Katie also says that if you start getting a lot of headaches that you should probably cut your hair. She says that your hair gets too heavy for your head so you should cut it. ...I told Adam that and the next time he saw her he touched her hair and said, "hmmm, your hairs lookin kinda heavy katie, maybe it's time for a cut." ....mhmm

Daffodils


Everything about the personality of the daffodil is lovely. I love the fact that they make you wait. You have to put in the effort to plant them months before you will even see their beauty. How lovely it is waiting for the daffodils. I love their spontaneity. They are unpredictable. You know they will be coming in the spring, but never exactly when. You just wait...and watch, and then? Daffodils! How much more delightful that you don't just plant daffodils like those other flowers you would buy at a nursery. You know, the kind that are already there? You just stick them and their square, dirt bottoms in the ground. There's no mystery with those kinds of flowers. Bleh. But daffodils?! They really grow. I get so excited when I see the first green, spurty hints of the daffodil stem. And little by little, they come up through the dirt. Then, once in full bloom they shine on you and are happy to see you come. They are flowers that would run to meet you if they could. They are flowers of un-abashed adoration and goodness. I would wish to emulate a daffodil.
