Minimalist Challenge, Day 14

February 14 marks the midway point in the Minimalist Challenge. It also happens to be Valentine’s Day, so I thought it appropriate to arrange my 14 purged items in the shape of a heart.

Roughly, in the shape of a heart, that is.

And perhaps it’s appropriate that all of today’s items were purchased to enhance my physical attractiveness. Some worked to varying degrees; others did not.

What isn’t appropriate is that most of these containers are completely empty, and those that aren’t empty have been gathering dust in a bathroom drawer for many months, perhaps even years. It was time to say adieu.

On a side note, I was selected to serve on the jury for a trial slated to begin on Thursday. Hopefully it will be a matter quickly settled, but due process is important. If you don’t hear from me for a day or two, you know where I’ll be. Might need bail money….

Peace, people!

I Heart You

I heart you
Sounds oddly
Painful
Like, I hit you,
or
I smite you.


St. Valentine was
Martyred,
Though, so
I reckon
I heart you
Is fitting.

Broken 

Broken promises
Blithely said; soon forgotten
Whispered entreaties

Living with liars
Broken souls who breed despair
Seek refuge in truth


Hiding in plain sight
Limping behind tight, sad smiles
Broken hearts still beat

Patches Sends Her Love

With a sexy, come hither look, Patches wears her heart on her cute little nose.  
I love this little cat, with her independent ways and squeaky little meow. 

Happy Valentine’s Day.
