cocoa makes late nights better

Well hello, I mean good night. It's the middle of March and things are finally starting to slow down for a bit. I'm definitely a little bit thankful.  I still have some edits to wrap up this month, but those will be a piece of cake (red velvet that is).

My roomie cooked me a delish dinner tonight.  She is so good to me.  I tried to get a quick photo of her but she wanted to remain as the roomie who has no face. 

She's a one of a kind roomie, that's why we mesh so well <3

 Thankfully, after a long Monday that felt like it was never going to end, I finally was able to sit back and relax with a hot cup of cocoa...even though it's not even cold out anymore. 

There is something about hot chocolate that soothes me and helps me calm my nerves.  It may be because it takes me back to being a little kid, and being stress free and especially care free.  When I wasn't so uptight and stressed over life and all the different directions it goes.  Oh to be a kid again.  That would be nice...until I wanted to drive some where but I wouldn't be able to see above the steering wheel. Obviously though in life you can't go backwards, you can only go forwards and I wouldn't have it any other way.  I don't regret growing up too fast.  I see no point in regret.  I may be an adult but I still have a child-like spirit.  I've recently decided to pick up painting again. 

I use to paint all the time as a child.  I would paint the most random things but I loved it. I remember the times when I would go visit my grandma up in Utah and she'd take me to the Art store and we'd pick out all different colors of paint and when we got home she'd watch me paint for hours.  Now I'm definitely no Picasso.  I simply find painting very relaxing, even if a 5 year old's painting looks better than mine, I am still proud of my master pieces.

On another note, my twinner friend Jess has decided that I should move to Paradise aka: Kona, Hawaii and be a photographer there.  I decided the only way I could make it in Hawaii is if I photographed Coconuts and Pineapples and sold LARGE portraits of them.  Then I'd make it BIG time, I mean who doesn't dream of a giant sized coconut print in there house.  I know, I know you wish I'd consider the move and become a famous tropical-fruit photographer.   

As she says, Live the dream.

Instead though I think for right now I'll go to sleep and dream. Maybe of coconuts and pineapples. :)

Aloha.
