Hello, my Hot Tamales! This week required serious silliness to counteract the serious business. The following photographic essay is packed with survival tips for the urban nomad. You can play along at home: The only requirements for this adventure are bed sheets and friends as dumb as you are:
Solid construction is of utmost importance--the elements of an apartment can be brutal: unpredictable weather patterns, dust buffalo and drafty windows. It's wild out there.
These pennants serve two purposes: they provide essential pinks and structural stability.
Garland will improve your fortress' integrity and deflect most birds of prey.
He is not napping--he's trancing. All proper caravans must have a medium.
Choose supplies carefully. The winter is long.
Blinking Christmas lights allow you to communicate effectively with other forts in your vicinity.
The Boyfriend Bartender is an essential member of the the caravan
even if he only knows one recipe: hooch & rocks.
Do not rule out knit equipment: Crocheted bedspreads provide proper ventilation
and an excellent view of the ceiling sky.
VOILA INTRUDER!
You know something exciting is about to happen when the inside smells like outside. In Wisconsin, we have a glorious tradition of turning the first warm day of the year into a national holiday--strangers are friends, fine malt beverages are consumed and there is a sudden shortage of hot dog buns. The shift couldn't have arrived at a better time: change of the seasons, a new moon cycle cooking--I plan to lasso up that fire-fly green maiden energy and have ENTIRELY too much fun. To celebrate, my sister and I went for a stroll in search of signs of spring!
How will you be celebrating spring, cupcakes?
