Sign Language

You know when you see a picture and a memory comes back to you and then you think...why in the world did I remember that just by looking at this simple little interior design photo?

Well just now I looked at this picture....

And those two little beds made me think of when Dev and I got our wisdom teeth pulled. They did us at the same time (or maybe one after the other?) and then we slept off the anesthesia on these little beds. I was on the left and Dev was on the right. When we woke up, we couldn't speak for fear of what had been done to us and also because our mouths were filled up with cotton. So we did sign language to each other.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

What a nice way to wake up.

Sexy Pictures

I found these pictures and it reminded me of the time I had a boyfriend who was going to work on a fishing boat. While he was up there, I wanted to send him a care package and include some sexy pictures of me.
My little Dev took poloroids of me in lingerie and she made it fun and comfortable and when a picture turned out bad we just redid it. I even did a little pose like the one on the upper left but I had cute little undies on.
I kept the pictures when we broke up and they will just stay there in the drawer for me to go back to every once in awhile for a thrill. I think every girl should do this.

Yes we can!

Asher made me a shirt to wear today and I am wearing it with pride! Here I am outside this morning with the lawn sign I have had up since March!

After work I'm going to take Asher with me to the polls so he can see how democracy works and so we can both tell our children what we did on this historic day.

• 88 years ago women were granted the right to vote
• 53 years ago Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus
• 45 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech
• 43 years ago, discriminatory voting practices were outlawed
• 41 years ago, Interracial Marriage was Legalized. Obama was born when it was still illegal for his parents to marry in some states of the US.
• 40 years ago, MLK was killed for his belief in civil rights for all
• 10 months ago, Josie Bean Lily was born. It is her future!
• 5 months ago Asher & I got interracially married
• 5 weeks ago Hank Cameron was born. It is his future!
• And someday, my (future) kids will be able to say that there was a President who looked like them! And he was an honorable man, worthy of the title.

Love + HOPE,
