Pucker Up

Today, yet another weird horoscope....

Cancer
The people who are shaking their heads in disappointment probably don't understand the true meaning of what you're trying to say anyway. Decisions made today will not have a great impact on your future. It is not necessary to focus too hard on the outcome. Confusion works to your advantage, if you play your cards right.

Essentially: Kiss my grits, haters! Right? You know, just today as I was lying on the grass huffing and puffing after my 8 mile bike ride, I found myself wishing people would stop asking me what my plan was. Of course, I was also watching old ladies whip past me effortlessly, their old lady muscles gleaming in the sunlight, so I might have been feeling slightly resentful.

So when is my horoscope going to talk about the lovers? Ugh, do I have to go out and GET some first? That is too hard. I will just sit on my back porch with my cherry coke and wait for them to come to me.

I am thinking of making kites in time for autumn. I mean, to place on etsy. By the by, I will be adding several things to my shop over the next two weeks. Again, you can check out the two links on the left, or simply remember http://www.jessbecause.etsy.com/ .

Finally, I need to confess something. It is a little embarrassing. I really like butterflies. Not in the Mariah Carey, rhinestone stomach jewelery wearing, walmart silk screen t-shirt sense... no, in the "wow, what a beautiful feat of nature" way. A visit to my great Aunt Jean's in GA turned out to be butterfly central.





Ah, country livin'.

The Sweetest Gal I Know

Link to my etsy store on left. Very tired. Sensation of being caught in a vortex of time and space is quite strong.... Here's the picture that helped inspire the one above.





I'm dreaming of renting a car and driving back to the magic city for a real visit. It's just a dream, however. Unless the summer miracle happens... wait wait wait, what the hell happened to my birthday miracle, huh? Oh, that is it. I had better be in for a couple of TREATS.

Give My Love To Vulcan

Tell me why I draw people with lima bean shaped heads and naked ladies that look like bugs and I'll tell you where your dreams go when you release them. Come on, now.

In Place of Peach Ice Cream

We walked the path that leads to the bus station
and we stopped to pick green apples off the tree.
A storm had come through the night before,
knocking blueberries out of their mother's arms
and the dust turned black beneath our feet
as we crushed them where they lay.
