So desperate

for spring

I bought some grass 

I am facinated by language

the light is good

you could probably fill this room

love sacs and it would still be amazing 

because of that light

I like this better than love sacs though

My beach vacation continues

except without those stupid rugs and deer head.

airy, pretty, simple

vacation over

off to do my taxes

pray for me

Relax

it's important

for your health

I spent yesterday at the Mall of America

not at all relaxing

but Legoland did have some nice art

and there were delicious treats

and lots of laughs

and when we were leaving she shouted

"Gilbertson family out!

PA-EACE!"

awesome

Spring Break at the beach

fantasize much?  

Spending my break looking at beach-like interiors

I like this one.

It's not too literal.

Emily, I like

emily

do you like?

More loft love

xoxoxoxoxo

I know you get me, so I let my walls come down

blown up for detail

now don't go stopping around and messing up

my perfectly gray London loft.

if I lived here, I would have my nose pierced

Today, I'm thinking

bohemianshoebox tumblr

I want my nose pierced

just a tiny little diamond.

you can't even see it

your thoughts please

(not yours dad)

Embarrassed

To be from Minnesota

when her name is linked to it

You might not have known

you needed these

they are new

(I think)

this will make you look like you had 8 hours of sleep

and you were not up worried about fevers, finances, and genocide




this is awesome and reminds me of when I was little

Do you like?

I like the mix of formal and casual

I also like that she sits up and talks today

yesterday was scary, feverish sleep all day 

punctuated by periods of delirious mumbling

the kind of fever you read about in a historical novel

I don't like waking up to this in late March

I know better

than to open the emails from Shopbop

they just make being broke that much harder

but as I sit here and watch her little body fight both strep and influenza

I am weak.

mom don't worry I did not buy anything

they make a good case for

books

and

built-ins

two of my favorite things

btw it's my turn to choose the book
for book club this month

any suggestions?

things that suck

Mondays

influenza 

especially when it's 50 degrees

for the first time in 6 months

and you have to postpone your kid's birthday party

and you don't get to eat the cake

things that don't suck

Rita Konig

tamiflu

kids get super cuddly when feverish

Just a dream

I spend an inordinate amount of time

thinking about things that will never be

does that mean I'm immature?

emotionally stunted?

or wildly imaginative and creative

optimistic even

let's just call it survival

shall we?

You shouldn't have

thanks House Beautiful for the fab pullout poster.

you shouldn't have.

no really

you shouldn't have

it was bulky and useless

and available online too

so no need for the extra paper 

and printing costs

no wonder the mags are going out of business

Kiss me anyway

May neighbours respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
