Hoppy Hour

"I want to show you something...it's on the roof"

We climb a million stairs to the top that leads us to a dingy forest with dying weeds and a large willow tree.

"See"

When you get close its not really a willow tree but a huge stack of clothing hangers that resembles a willow tree

"WOW you built a hanger tree, that is impressive"

Sometimes when I wake up I want to go right back to bed. Dreams seem so much better there.

Today Travis and I went to the mall and we had to stop every ten feet because of his invading scoliosis. I feel bad for Travis because he really loves walking but we can barely walk five minutes anymore before his feet and legs go stiff and he has to sit down or else he will just fall over like a stiff board. I wonder how we will ever reach our favorite places that we used to walk to in the upcoming summer. I wonder why that happens in life..how sometimes your favorite things are taken away.

I do know one thing, and if one favorite thing is taken away another thing arrives in it's place. As for me personally it's my new furry friend Oreo that has lightened up my life. I've been wanting a bunny for a really long time and haven't been able to get one because of the lack of space we have in our apartment. We finally moved into a bigger place but still my boyfriend Dave was very weary of adding a new animal to the mix with our already two grumpy, crabby and trouble making cats. So I would take Travis and I would drag him over to the bunny section at the humane society which he would have no interest in at all and spend forever asking him "isn't this one cute" to each on I saw. He just kind of looked at me with this absent wide eyed expression he usually does as I gushed. Recently I've felt...mmmm.kind of unhappy. Not terribly unhappy but just lacking something in my life. In October I took this office assistant job at a Dental Lab that makes crowns because I was losing hours at my PCA job and I was kind of in a bind and had no other choice. I was really happy that I was able to work there since I would have been up a creek but have since hoped to get out of there. It feels like it sucks the life out of me every time I go in there. They have asked me if I wanted to be a tooth designer since I have a design background meaning I would be designing crowns. Isn't that funny? So I've realized that I can't get stuck there forever but in the mean time I needed to do something for my own happiness so one night while being at the Humane Society I spotted Oreo. He came up to me right away and I feel in love with him. I went home and thought about the sudden decision about getting a bunny with no ones approval and finally told my boyfriend that he didn't have a say. When I went to see if he was there a few days later there he was waiting for me. So I've been smitten. He hops around when I do my sewing and we hang out. Hes wonderful.
