i saw the trailer for the lorax a couple nights ago during a girl's evening, complete with the cupcake's family dinner, a stop at pinkberry, and the beauty and the beast 3D. it's a reminder that a child can only grow up if you let it happen to yourself. i couldn't be more excited about how fluffy the trees will be. i've been munching on fresh guacamole and chago's queso with the rebel, watching garbage island, and marking things off my list at an alarming rate. i've been enjoying the graveyard's encore at exit/in, standing on birthday front porches to listen to the railroad in the distance, and turning on stiletto turbo power to dip between drops of heavy rain. old family friends have come to visit, and i marveled in the power of a smile, a hello, and how easily a flare with a flip of the wrist can make friends. but, it's supposed to be work hard, play hard. i've found plenty of the work hard. i seem to be looking and lacking for the play hard, and it's a little more difficult to come by. so, tonight, i'm hunting.i added a pinterest button for my COSMICaroline page, feel free to click away and see the boards i spoke of a while back. more from me soon. this weekend brings new technology, new ideas, and a search for pink. happy weekend to you, you deserve it.
