Floating

My dear friend and I recently exchanged emails with each other and in these exchanges I described how I felt like I was floating - not quite having a full grasp of everything that is happening around me.  While this can mean a flurry of things, I translated this feeling to my fascination with balloons - how whimsical and delicate they are, but if things get too windy they can blow away.

While I would love to release some of this energy into shopping {hehe}, instead I created a virtual shopping bag of stuff.  When I was child, I used to go through my mother's catalogs and imagine what I would buy if I had an infinite budget.  Lame?  Maybe - but it sure made my imagination go wild.  Nowadays, the internet and Polyvore help me channel the same intent.
