I would like to introduce you to ...
Monica
What inspired you to start blogging?
One day, after a rainstorm, I realized that I was doing only what I had to do. The little things that make me happy had begun to slip through the cracks. My blog is about finding + pursuing the happy things, no matter gray skies or clear days. Blogging happens to be one of those happy things... thus A Rain Parade, where the rain on my parade just makes much more joyous.
What is your favorite possession that accompanies you?
My 24-pack of Crayola fine-tip markers.
Do you collect anything?
postcards, random clothing pieces that *one day* will be altered into beautiful items (they reside in my "Projects" bag, waiting for a week of only sewing + seam-ripping), little slips and stubs and scrapbook-esque mementos of trips, and precious memories.
What are your best and worst habits?
*Venn diagram*
Good Habit: Listography
Bad Habit: Procrastination
Both: Late night art-making (this one is my favorite!)
What are your summer goals?
Before summer started, I made a lovely list of them... that has unfortunately been misplaced (typical Monica). A few that I remember:
1. Run 100 miles.
2. Volunteer 100 hours.
Empty the "Projects" bag.
