my monkey in the middle...

what i told you yesterday? i take it back.




because she's exactly who i want to be this summer. my mémé in the middle.

{and no. i'm not back to blogging. not really. i just saw that photo of that girl and i gasped and then i saw this photo of my girl and i giggled and then...and then...i maybe wanted to gasp and giggle with my imaginary friends. tell me you giggled? ok, then. good. that's all i needed. and xoxo.}

inspiration hits at the oddest moments...

i'm not exactly sure what it is about this photo. that girl. those brogues. the nearly invisible hairpin. the bowler balancing just so. that girl.




she got to me, though. made me want to post something new for you. or maybe for me, yes?

because she's exactly who i want to be this summer.

olivia frolich takes amazingly sexy photos. sabino posts amazingly sexy photos.

i've two wishes...

my eyes are closed, my nose is all scrunched up, and i'm biting my bottom lip.



wishing, mostly.

also? trying not to sneeze. jordan's at the tail end {i hope.} of a khamsini depression. which, loosely translated, means fifty days of dusty, hot, cyclonic-type winds. plus fifty days of itchy eyes and lots of sneezes. give or take.

i swear, i feel like i'm a child again...horrible allergies, a never-ending runny nose, puffy eyes, and weekly injections that would swell up so badly i'd hold out my arms to the side like one of those beefed-up bodybuilders. one with a tragically short haircut, buck teeth, and a rather large bum.

i call them my sneezy years. everyone else in my family seems to remember it as when our little sister turned into an unfortunate little boy who looked like he was crying all the time. one with a rather large bum.


my sneezy years sounds way cuter.

but back to my two wishes. my first is that you'll fly over to melissa loves, where i'm spending the day. i haven't blogged or really written one creative stitch in ages, so i had giant plans for my guest post. for starters, i was going to change her blog's name to melissa loves karey m.

my dreams are much more grand than my skills.

as for my second wish, you may read about it while you're there. at melissa loves karey m.

and i will wait right here for you. with my eyes tightly closed, my nose all scrunched up, chewing on my bottom lip.

just wishing...

hey, you...



so i'm back.

but only for a moment. and not exactly back here, on mackin ink. i'm back here, on s.hoptalk.

i'm quite fond of that sweetheart of a suzanne, you know.

so i'm back. but only for a moment. and really only to send you one more xoxo. catch you later, friends. karey m.

i've always loved secret messages written on my palm. you, too? {say yes.} this hand found right here.
