Oopsie Daisies

Oops. I am a bad bad blogger. I can't believe I have neglected poor little blog for so long!
To make up for it, let me share with you some photos from an adventure the Boy and I took a couple weeks ago to a bamboo forest.

It was such a beautiful adventure. It was thunderstorming (yikes!), but we were safe nestled in this little cave of bamboo, we couldn't even feel the rain, all cuddled up in blankets that we brought, eating pasta and bruschetta and strawberries and brownies and laughing. He's my best friend ya'll.
I hope you're having a wonderful summer (we just got out! Heck yes!)
Much love,
Maren

Hello hello

      Hello little blog, I'm sorry its been kind of quiet around here. I won't attribute it to the fact that I've been crazy busy with rehearsals for a show that finished up last night, or anything cause I don't make excuses, cough cough. But now I'm back! The show last night was awesome. Opening night, ehhhhh a little rocky, but we killed it on Saturday and I'm so proud of the company. Plus Julia called like an hour before it started and I got to have a really quick back of the dressing room talk with her. Oh sigh. She's coming back in two weeks. TWO WEEKS! Yes! I could wax poetic about how she is the flower to my spring or the creme de la creme de la to my edgar, but in short, I really miss her and am super excited for her to be back in town.
      In other news, Easter weekend was such a good time. Saturday, darling Hazel, Forrest and I all got together for some fun. I missed her! Downtown for dinner, stalking adorable cars, smoothies at Hazel's house, dancing wildly to Rick Springfield (on my part at least), dying eggs, laying on the trampoline in the dark of evening, and falling asleep with one of my good friends was oh so blissful. I can practically taste summer coming. I hope you enjoy the pictures, I'll be back soon. 

     

Lots of love,
Maren

Spring Equals

Spring equals out everything. It equals out the sunshine in our lives, it equals out the dead and dormantness of the world around us, it equals out, and sometimes tips the balance of, the animals there are in the world, it equals out the time we spend outside and the love we lavish on the people around us, and the time between days. Think about is. There is an entire day in spring where everything is equals. Twelve hours of day and twelve hours of night. In total, twenty four hours of what should be total equality. While it isn't for most of the world, I do like to think that there are moments of freedom and equality that should be held like treasures and spring is the perfect time to do it.

Spring also equals beautiful flowers and soft fluffy bunnies. 
Much love,
Maren
