Happy. Friday.

Happy Friday, everyone! Thank you for stopping by today. We have blue skies and mild temperatures here in Starkville, MS, which makes for all kinds of Saturday dreaming. This little ditty is a preview of some of the themes of June’s upcoming desktop wallpaper [to be posted on Monday--see you then!] And, it’s a celebration of happiness and drawing… two things I’m all about. Throw some reggae in, and Friday, here we come!

For the Junkie uninitiated, let’s jump on the thought train before it leaves the station for parts unknown:
1. The computer that would not boot last night miraculously booted this morning. [and I do mean, miraculously, since quickie prayer was involved] It’s gonna be a happy day.
2. I walked into Baby Girl’s room this morning to find her STANDING in her crib with a big 0l’ smile on her face [I'm doing something new. I'm on the move. I'm lovin' it.] Further happy evidence!
3. I accomplished the long-anticipated scans of Little Drummer Boy’s first people drawings and Squiggle’s latest color explosion [more on that Monday].
4. The largest people guy (the one on the right) was described to me as “Happy Yo Yo” who I’ve been told is a giant from something LDB has been reading/watching in his preschool class.
5. Googled “Happy Yo Yo” to find the reference and LOOK what showed up…
6. Lyrics to “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” by Yo Yo Ma. [I'm guessing not the cellist] Flashback to college years. Truth in the oddest, but rhythmic places.

I’m loving these people. I like how their eyes are spinning and they’re squealing at the top of their lungs. I like how the dude on the left is moving his arms so fast you can’t even see them. It’s happy, folks. Sing with me…
