sparky's lunchbag

Lunch - I am really good at making interesting lunches, at least I think so, we could ask Sparky. YO, sparkles, whaddyathink? she will get back to us about that. and yes, what I like about her very much is that she is sparkly, she sparks, she sparkles. what a great random nickname for her because of all that it implies. She is sparkly like the sun on water or the moonlight caught in branches. It spills out of her, those carbonated bubbles of laughter and joy rise up in her and float upon the air. As each one pops there is this uplifting sound and if i were very tiny and sensitive i could hear the sound of a flower in the moment when it goes from bud to bloom and this is what it would sound like...an exuberant and simple sighing into being. She also sparks conversation, she ignites a sense of gratitude and a refinement of clear and clever thought. she is like a sparkler on the 4th on July. that's my sparky. and i want to know why I couldn't be Lorenzia, at least this would be a bit more girly and I need help in this arena most times. I couldn't come up with anything more clever so, it was again to honor and hone in on a time in history when I would have loved to be present. In the Salon of Lorenzo d'Medici (i could have been his sister,perhaps) wherein I could have hung out with all the cool guys of the moment, like Michaelangelo, Raphael, Dante, DaVinci and many more. yeah, that would have been the best. c'est la vie! so, instead I am Lorenzo (ia) in the 21st century, writing a blog. At least I have all of you for inspiration and I must say, that is alot to be thankful for ...so THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ;-))

oh, yes, and I make a stellar lunch, always coming up with interesting tidbits so as not to get boring and isntead generate a bit of anticipation and surprise. I do this because I really dislike making school lunches after so many years, so i found a way to make it more fun for myself and voila! it's more fun for her too! I love that about life. it is so cool!
