friday cliff’s notes.

Posted By on April 24, 2010 in Loved Ones, Performance, photography, Thoughts and Feelings | 14 comments

Because I am tired, I will be giving you a post in cliff’s notes. Goodness, it’s Saturday, anyway. You probably have tons of better things to do than stay inside, in front of a computer, when the day is beckoning you to go and find out what all the hype about Saturday is anyway.

And because I was negligent in documenting the last time I mentioned getting out of bed with some mad bed head to show for my night, I decided I’d at least capture it today. Cause it was good.

And you’re welcome, Mandy Hornbuckle.

So this is what morning looked like.
And yes, bed head comes in many different varieties. Lately I have been showcasing the kind with roots.

And once I tamed my bed head with a headband, I went on a hike with some lovely people who share my last name.

Judah caught a frog. Or maybe a toad. I don’t think there was a final say, so they ended up calling him Frog-Toad.

And what a lovely little Frog-Toad he was.

And for a hot minute, Judes and I swapped accoutrement. He wore my pink headband while I wore his hat and it suited us well, I think.

Oh, and my brother and I stood on a log together.

And we talked about life and how good it is now, and how unbelievable it’s been and how, man, we’re not sure how we made it here, exactly, but it sure looks a lot better than we ever thought it could.

And we didn’t particularly mean the log, but we could have cause that was nice, too.

Oh, and also, you might not have realized this, but I have a fairy for a niece.

And the woods suit Cosi just fine, I think.

And then tonight Shane and I sang some songs at two different places and with the exception of me messing up just a few lyrics (sorry, Shane!), I think we did well. We added two new songs to our set, which is fun–and now this means that we don’t even have to play every one of our songs to fill out a set. We can pick and choose, which is a nice little luxury.

It was a pretty good Friday, I think.

Oh! except my poor brother and nephew wandered around Newark looking for us to hear us play and never did find us, which is probably not exactly how they wanted to spend their friday night.

So, except for that sad story, it was the kind of Friday that I didn’t mind at all.

    You probably have tons of better things to do than stay inside, in front of a computer, when the day is beckoning you to go and find out what all the hype about Saturday is anyway.

    This is a foreign concept to me. What better way to spend a Saturday morning than to just surf the Web and see what is out there?

    Thanks for the pics of the niece and nephew. Even though I barely talk to them, they seem really special and it touches my heart to see their cuteness.

    And I love how standing on a log, for you, means, standing gracefully on one foot. On a log.

    • jessica April 24, 2010

      well I didn’t specify that I was standing with BOTH feet!

      And yes, the computer is quite an interesting place–but a day like this cannot be replicated, so it’s hard to stay inside…

      And oh.my.goodness. My nieces and nephews make me bite my teeth all the time, they are so cute. Glad to share the cuteness!

    Man, these pictures make me long for the east coast – what a bunch of cuties!!!

    And I swear you’ve taken a bedhead picture that looks JUST like this one before on this very blog.

    • jessica April 24, 2010

      Yeah, you’re probably right about them looking similar! And Jase–when you come out, we gotta take a brisk constitutional at this spot in fair hill that I’ve only just recently been to for the first time! You’ll love it!

    I LOVE YOU JESSICA LATSHAW!! Thanks for the awesome bedhead picture.

    I should take a picture of mine right now. It’s been all night AND all day of laying around and it is CU-RAZY. But not cute crazy like yours always is. More like “Ahh!” crazy.

    • jessica April 25, 2010

      oh girl, cute crazy is certainly not in the ALWAYS department for me!!!

      And hey–I LOVE YOU TOO!!!
