Cool kids fly kites...

I have been trying to keep my head above water these past few days.

I can't stop thinking - IF I COULD JUST TURN OFF MY BRAIN. Do you ever get like that? Sometimes I'm really envious of people who can mindlessly play video games or just hang out at a mall.

It's not that I'm always doing something. Often I'm just thinking about all the things I have to do. Get this done, finish that, work on whatever. I become overwhelmed.

How do you keep from feeling overwhelmed?

I've been obsessed with kites lately. There is something about kites that is magical and amazing. They are kept close to earth with a string, but free to fly on the tops of trees.

I bought a couple kites today so I can deconstruct one and figure out how to make my own (but still have one to fly!). I'll post pictures and a how-to when I have it worked out!

Here are photos from one of my favourite kite dates with my hetero-lifemate, Robyn.


Do you have a favourite kite date? :)
