A Pale Pink City

My Life in Fiction

little things that make me happy

– when you crawl into bed in winter and its freezing and the sheets are like ice but then you feels the bed starting to warm from your body heat and suddenly you are encased by warmth and it is nice and toasty but the air is still nippy and cold but it doesnt even matter because under the covers you are safe

– when you then wake up from the sound of rain/snow plows and you know its still early or you dont have any prior engagements or commitments and so you drift back to sleep

– when the barista makes your drink JUST right

– that feeling when you step on the scale first thing in the morning and you are like 4 lbs lighter

– the smell of laundry wafting on a cold sunny day and you can see the steam rising

– anytime you place anything while out in the ministry, especially if you able to read them a scripture

– just hanging out with the fam after eating esp if its the middle of the day, and with the sun streaming in through the windows

– trying on a beautiful shoe with an insanely beautiful arch that just does wonders for your legs

– being at the beach

– the smell of tanning oil and lying on the sand

– driving at night on an empty highway and there are lights all around from the cities and you have really mellow cruising music playing

– taking a nap in a cool and windy place (but still warm enough that you dont quite need a blanket)

– the smell of spring and rain and also the smell of sunshine esp in the house from having all the windows opened all day

– freshly baked goods with a freshly brewed cup of coffee shared with mom while watching some random korean show

– the sound of laughter

– very hot showers with music playing and the shampoo and body wash smells like heaven

– reading in bed

– the first french fry and every french fry thereafter

– when you get your makeup so symmetrical and the eyeliner is super smooth and the eyeshadow game is en pointe and your skin is flawless and the lipstick just goes so well with everything else

– the initial burst of fragrance spritzed right before bed and waking up to the dry down and then really smelling it again in the shower

-a clean aquarium for becky the turtle

– when youve just finished cleaning the house and everything is sparkly

– walking on crunchy snow on a glittery cold, sunny day before everything is all plowed or shoveled and the trees still have snow caps on them and you can smell someones fireplace burning

– the soreness you get after a really good workout and you can feel the fat burning off

– freshly done mani and pedi

– getting the foley catheter in on the first try and seeing the urine fall into the tray

– getting the wound vac dressing perfectly so that upon the initial suck, the black foam just sinks right into the wound and the seal is good and the machine gives the ok

– holding a baby and they fit perfectly into the space of your arms and they just snuggle closer to you

– just hanging out with friends that are so close personal boundries no longer exist

-the rush of getting a package delivered…

– esp if its clothes/shoes and it fits JUST so and you look fabulous and you can throw away the invoice because oh yeh im keeping it!

 

 

Annual Meeting 2014 ♡

What can i say?

Jehovah is wonderful, he truly spoils us with all of these fantastic treats!

Tv.jw.org is just amazing, just finished watching the first broadcast with Brother Lett (he is so cute irl, actually not that tall and kinda chunky!! Saw him in the Patterson dining room after Gilead Grad last month) and man it was so well filmed!

Like a real newscast, seriously, with like a legit desk and segments and interviews and even a music video!!

And we watched the new Sophie video; don’t know what it is but even watching the vid a second time i got all teary eyed.

And the new songs. Love esp 138.

There are also revisions…

Just amazing.

Go check it ou!

i build dreams around you. no really, i do.

and darling, they are beautiful dreams, you’d enjoy them immensely.

full of color and light and laughter and warmth and everything that sparkles all around.

like an explosion of all that’s wonderful in the world with you, my dear, in the epicenter of it all.

and what i’d give to be able to share them with you, i’d take you on a ride of whimsy and you’d think i’m crazy but it would still be fabulous.

we’d spend every week in a different place, exploring new worlds, meeting new people, tasting new foods.

and we’d preach to all sorts of people, you with your spanish and me with my chinese and korean, together we’d be a tour d’force, a hurricane

we might not have much, but we’d be so, so happy. unbelievably so.

and i’d even give up my handbags and shoes, all the makeup in the world to be with you.

i could even forgo running water and western toilets if you’d be by my side

not even bouts of diarrhea or the threat of parasites and bugs could dampen my enthusiasm

and when the going gets tough, i’d hold your hand and you’d hold mine and the world would be beautiful again

to feel the beat of your pulse through the warmth of your hand…

and we won’t even let the threat of money or persecution hang above us like the blade of a guillotine

you make me want to be a better person.

i am still building dreams around you.

about you

graceful lily
