Yesterday after work I drove over the Golden Gate Bridge to hang out with the Freitags, and I know sometimes I tend to go overboard with the baby pics . . . but can you believe this sweet face?
Jude: The Good Egg
Goodness that is one sweet baby boy. And speaking of good things, my oldest friend Lesley (she was at the hospital waiting for me to be born--she was only 6 months old and knew we'd be best friends since our mamas were!) is hosting a special Christmas giveaway from my sister's vintage etsy shop! Click here to enter, and grab the button on my right sidebar if you're so inclined. This is what's up for grabs:
Today is my Cobra day and my poem is due in a few short hours. I always have the most trouble writing when I'm responding to one of my own assignments (we take turns giving assignments, then have dinner & mini poetry workshops every other week or so). This time, it's write a poem that addresses your greatest fear. Pretty terrifying, huh? I have a few fears and phobias to work with, ha, so I'm not sure which one I'm gonna tackle yet. Maybe developing paranoid schizophrenia or some sort of psychosis . . . that scares the living daylights out of me. I'm shuddering just thinking about all my greatest fears . . .
What would you write about?
19 comments:
I would probably write about dying at a young age, public speaking, or spiders. =)
Jude is one cute baby!!!!
being too ill and tired to have a family.
becoming housebound by my pain and fatigue.
having to wear a gasmask in public to avoid germs because my immune system cant be further exposed.
I probably would write about the fear that most of have...fear of not finding the true love!
Kisses and the kiddo in the photo is so sweet!
Ps: I’m hosting a sweet t-shirt and tote GIVEAWAY today. So please join in :)
i'd write about my fear of not being able to have babies. seriously, sometimes it keeps me up at night as i try to figure out what i would do.
Aww, Jude is adorable (love the name too ;)). I would have to go with you on the paranoid schizophrenia...I've seen how it can ruin lives and cause so much heartbreak - a scary, scary illness. I think my other would be losing loved ones too soon - it's scary to even write it out!
Hmmm.... perhaps flying. I hate it. To this day I can't just get on a plane. It's a huge ordeal.
I used to be scared of never finding anyone- and being single forever. But I don't really know anymore if that's even what I want...
I am scared though that I'll never be a mom. I do want that. Not sure how those two reconcile...
I want to pinch those baby cheeks stat.
He is adorable!!
I'm terrified of plane crashes? :) And so I think shoes in a vending machine is pretty disgraceful BUT i had to buy them just to say i did....i'm weird like that.
I would write about dying, not because I'm afraid of the unknown, or fearing death, but dying and not letting all of the special people in my life know just how very special they are, not having my kids remember me and how much I love them, and not making sure my husband knows how much love and devotion for him. I know you will do a great job. I enjoyed the guest blogger!
Jude is such a sweet face! And I can't wait to be a part of cobra dinnershops! I really don't know what I would write about till I'd sit down with pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). I'm sure it'd have something to do with loss though. Or fear itself, and (because of the me of late) it'd probably have a zen-ny ending. Love you!
What a sweet little guy! I love all of your baby pics!
Just entered the giveaway, too! SO excited! Your sister's shop is amazing!
it's funny, but it's kind of not...i've always been scared that i'd become schizophrenic! let's hope not.
Going to Guatemala?? how exciting!!! Have a wonderful trip love! xo
water. i'm terrified of water and might pee my pants just thinking of a poem.
i know someone who suffered from schizophrenia for years and made his way back by nothing short of a miracle. talk about terrifying. get your depends.
and ps - world traveler!!

And I think my poem would be about losing Cas or someone close to be, the thought just makes me shiver...

would definitely write about losing my family. hurts to even type that out.
travel safe lovely claire!
