A friend's birthday was this past week. She's got such a sweet heart, so I thought this card seemed appropriate. I must own, however, the idea isn't mine...thanks Etsy!

Jonathan Kozol
Two of my dear friends and I ventured north to the City of the Resurrected Fire Bird to hear one of my all-time favorite authors/education activists:
Jonathan Kozol.
Check out his books. I mean it. SERIOUSLY NEED TO. They are so eye-opening, and should be considered a must-read by anyone in America (which is most of the people reading this). I think what I love most about his books is his awesome sense of humor, combined with his extreme passion for children, combined with his unwavering commitment to revealing the truth about inequality in American public education. He specifically looks into poverty and social justice. His newest book is called "Fire in the Ashes"
dear friends
me and Martha talking to Mr. Kozol
he said he thought we were cool and asked us to stay after to chat! so we got an after-event invite from the keynote speaker, saying we should be good pals and gave me his cell phone number.
SO INCREDIBLE!!!

The last 24 hours
What are those???
Is it dirt?
Why is it MOVING?!
OH MY GOSH.
(insert PANIC here)
What does a flea look like????
Darcy, you just got over a UTI...you better not have fleas.
If you have fleas, does the house have fleas?

(especially love #3)
Start vacuuming. Vacuum breaks. Watch youtube and learn how to replace belt. Vacuum all rugs in the driveway. Swept and mopped whole house. Washed bedding, curtains, couches, and all clothing. Called Eric on the verge of a breakdown. Take shower.
What about the yard? And the mini African savannah in the backyard due to the monsoons?
Purchased weed wacker. Used for 2 solid hours. Take another shower.
Did a flea just fall on my shoulder?!?!? Do I HAVE FLEAS?!?!?! Take ANOTHER shower.
Talk and pray with Erin to avoid full-scale mental breakdown.
Life lesson: DON'T EVER LET YOUR DOG GET FLEAS!!! Especially if you're a bug-paranoid sociopath like I am.
PS - Thank you Mumford & Sons for your new album. And your old one for that matter. They have been my soundtrack during the "Epic Flea Battle of 2012".

Madera via Hipstamatic
I got a new package of "lenses" and "film" via Hipstamatic - woohoo!
And to test?
Off to Madera Canyon!
There were a CRAZY amount of VERY WEIRD bugs there, including giant, fuzzy caterpillars (which I tried to show in comparison to my finger), giant agave beetles, and HUGE black locusts - the Biblical kind - with red underwings. So strange. And apparently so hard to photograph with the iPhone camera.
Also, I apologize for the long string of photos...I really need to learn how to do a photo montage with them all in the same frame!
