Spring is very late here. I've been writing almost daily. Four months into this year and I've already written more than I wrote all through last year. I have to be proud of myself, even if I am going to burn out eventually. The pace I've been setting is "grueling," a killer of many families on the Oregon Trail, and along with my meager rations, I inevitably get lost for days. (I'm really sorry if all that is very specific to my childhood alone, haha. I love Oregon Trail.)

The past month, my mom has had some medical issues, but things are looking better now. I'm hoping May will be relatively calm.

I'm a fool for April

Dressed up all my Blythes for a family portrait! Lamb (second to right) fits right in. Alas for Bonnet, I am not too great at taking pictures of Middies.

Happy Easter, if you celebrate it! I'm pushing 30, but of course I hunted eggs today. Sometimes I hide, sometimes I hunt! My sisters, cousins, and I are all "too old" to hunt. I'm the eldest, and the youngest is 14 or 15, I think. But we all still enjoy doing it, so we do it anyway, and I really like it when my little sister cusses me out for scooping up an egg before she can get to it.

Many of the eggs I found had these little vinyl-feeling butterflies in them, with fuzzy bodies and a tiny clothespin on the back to attach to whatever, I guess. I have no idea what to do with them, but I did put one in my hair. My younger sister's boyfriend allowed himself to be covered in them. They were clipped all over his clothes and hair!


A lot of my purple is still showing up, even though a lot has washed out! Sometime in April I hope to put in my pink.


This guy lives next door to my grandmother. I went up to him, even though I am scared of horses. He sniffed my hand, but since I didn't have anything for him, he walked off again.

I didn't post any during March because I was feeling stressed out. April has some things to get through, but hopefully some cheerier times are on their way too!

Stuff I'm liking right now:

  • Bates Motel on A&E
  • Hugo Naturals grapefruit lip balm
