Mother in Law...

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

Yesterday was Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. It also happened to be the anniversary of the last day my beautiful Mother in Law spent on earth.

I never had the honor of meeting her, and I so wish that I did. Everyone says that my husband is so much like his beloved mama, that his sweet nature, and kind spirit come directly from her. Every time I look at a photo of her, I feel grateful for such a powerful female presence in his life, one that still lingers in our home today... in heart and thoughts and memories spoken... and what made the man I love so much, so much of who he is.

We love you, Kathy. xx

Work Week

Monday, June 20, 2011




Pants & Bag - Thrifted Vintage - Shoes - Nine West - Bangle - Old F21 - Shirt - Theodore Beverly Hills - Tie - Boy's

Sometimes I like to get a bit literal. Things have been busy on the work front, projects, events, so forth... so I decided to just go for it and dress as serious as I was feeling. It's funny how what you're wearing can translate into your mood. I actually got a lot done this day.

"The Only Exception"

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

Maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I've sworn to myself
that I'm content with loneliness.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't let go of what's in front of me here.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception. 

And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

Even though it looks a bit "June Gloom" out my window at the moment, here's a few things I'm looking forward to for the weekend...

Best friend (and monkey's Godfather) in town from NY
