YOU say it's your BIRTHDAY!

Birthdays...

So much hype about them!
I think every other day is just as special!


(But today IS my day)

maybe poetry

old cold tea tastes like a grey cloud on a windy day.

If you like...

There should be a website out there that has suggestions for things like,"If you like this song then you will like..." etc. ... You know what I'm saying? Has anybody every heard of a website like that?
hmmm... maybe i should start one up.

Quote Quote Quote

I know I haven't written for a long time- but... I'm back! (kind of)

Here is a quote that I find to be.. true. Or something like that.

Bikes are Beautiful!

Go get a bike & save the world.

Ok so since I feel kind of bad about indulging in some serious fashion fun all afternoon.. I am going to do my part as a good Samaritan and get everybody that is actually reading my blog to get off my web site and go to freerice.com... end world poverty, woop woop!

Ooh la la.. these particular petals are definitely number one on my wish list right now- and I can't even feel bad about wanting these eco friendly kids! I just have to figure out how to do this ordering online thing... hmmm.. But realistically- why is it that the most amazing things often have to be the MOST expensive!? I have to admit that $55 bucks is a little bit extreme for these-- even though they are my true love.
Apparently the topic of today is shoes, because I have just spent the better part of an hour cruising the internet in search of foot attire. I know, I know they are a really materialistic fashion item that I really and truly don't need any more of- but- i just love them so much! Keds, Converse, Simple, Vans... It's a definite don't need thing- just really want thing! Is that so bad? Hmm.. I just got an idea.. I am going to look for a pair of white, blank shoes and sew and splatter attack them into my own master piece! How fun will that be!

The 50's song, "Teen Angel" is really sad...

Where the Wild Things Are
By Maurice Sendak

I just heard that they are making a 'major motion picture' out of this classic. Isn't that a little sacrilegious? Somethings just don't deserve to be tampered with. Oh well, I hope it turns out okay. I love those big monsters.

Book Report
Frannie in Pieces By Delia Ephron

I finally finished my 384 page book today.
It was odd, but entertaining. I would recommend it to somebody who is feeling bad for themselves-- it's sad and makes you realize that you probably have a better life than you are telling yourself.

(Red) Cowboy Boots

I am a cow girl by no means- but something about cow boy boots intrigues me.So here are my babies that I am going to spruce up by painting them with red shoe paint!

Oh My!

It has come to my attention that some people do NOT know what a sock monkey is. I feel deeply sorry for these people and the large hole that they have in their life.
For their benefit I have included a photo of a Sock Monkey here on my blog.



For those who may not know what a Finger Puppet is (I know that sounds absurd- but you never know!) I have also posted a picture of them.

Dress-Up

I LOVE to dress-up..
This photo was taken in the summer time, when my friends Claire and Isabel game over and frolicked in my backyard with me. We suited up in tutu's, hopped on old bicycles and tricycles [with flat tires] & had a lot of fun.
Out of my love of dressing up, my Clown Persona, TuTu the clown was born. My mother is LuLu, and my father, Jocko. Hire us for your birthday party! We will be sure to entertain you. Tee hee!

Me

This is a very inspiring artist to me. Her artwork reminds me of a few doodles that I have played around with..
And this particular picture right here reminds me of myself somehow. Maybe because I love those little boots, and I have a cat hat similar to hers [although it is not as grand and it is not a cape]...

What is so special about wild roses and lucky pennies? Nothing in particular actually... except for the fact that they are things that I happen to appreciate. You know those things that you have filed away somewhere (be it in your desk, your notebook, or just your head), that just make you happy to think about? Well I thought I would publish that file folder for the world to see! A quick glimpse into the mind of emily claire rose... I hope you enjoy these things as much as I do ... and if you don't, well then go make your own blog! haha.
