mixed roots, mixed roots, mixed roots!

sigh i can't wait for the weekend

Seriously!! I’m so excited for the festival (www.mxroots.org) I almost can’t stand it.  I haven’t been this excited for something in I don’t know how long.  It’s like I’m 5 and Christmas is on Friday!  The funny thing is that I have no expectations, other than to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones.  But I’m just so excited!  And a little nervous.  I am really NOT looking forward to seeing my face enlarged on the big screen.  Maybe I don’t have to actually watch it.  Here are the things I do have to do…

go run

There is only one more work out between me and the festival! Yes!

Get new lipstick.  Cupcakes would be nice, but would cancel out the running so I’ll pass. Probably.

Explain to this face a million times where I’m going, why he can’t go, when I’ll be back, and what he’ll be doing while I’m gone.

I really do.  It makes me so happy.  So happy in fact that people have commented on the watermelon joy they witness on my face.  When I was three I had a great Christmas.  Santa was REALLY good to me.  My favorite gift though, was a watermelon.  I wish I had the picture scanned into my computer so that I could post it here.  I do have this picture scanned in though:

This is me and my mom in Kyoto, Japan.  I am eating watermelon.  Look at that smile.  It’s so big that I almost look Japanese.
