I don’t watch the news much.
I don’t really know how much gas is. I mean…I know it’s more than it used to be. $4-something…
I didn’t get all torn up over the democratic or republican primaries. Let’s face it…what was the hoop-la all about?
Brad and I were talking last night about a scenario where I see the situation black and white…and he sees it rainbow colored.
(We do that a lot…one of the reasons why we’ve been married for 22 years.)
Then he said…“that’s because you’re simple, Jayme”.
So…today I looked up “simple” in the dictionary. (Just to prove i’m not.)
simple |ˈsimpəl| – easily understood or done; without much decoration or ornamentation; humble and unpretentious…
I happen to love the definition of “simple”.
I think the Orangutan knows me far too well.
That makes me mad!
Maybe that’s why I’m simple!
Being simple doesn’t imply that you’re a “simpleton” does it? That definition…not too fond of!

Before I respond to simple – I want my picture on this site because I am simply “vain”.
Simple is wonderful – complex can really be tiring, a wear on your everyday life. Don’t get me wrong, I love complex people to some degree, but being a simple person myself – I can better relate to those that share some of the following attributes of simple:
- A one word answer of explanation makes my day. If I need more than that – I’ll let you know.
- To run a comb through my hair and go is so much better than to have to blow it dry, curl it, etc.
- Some powder, mascara and lipstick are enough for beauty – anymore takes too long.
- Simple is jeans and a t-shirt.
- When my day begins rushed but I know that I need to spend some time in prayer – the lord’s prayer is simply enough until time allows me some quality prayer time.
- Simple is believing in God and his answer to prayer as the way it is meant to be whether we like it or not.
- Simple is seeing our prayers answered which simply restores our faith.
- Simple is looking at the sun setting and the sky turning orange and blue shades and saying “thank you God”.

I am not “MissUnderstood” on name tag sunday for nothing, so allow me to explain. As an artist I see things very different than most. To me, simple is dull, boring, no depth, no dimension, lack of color and stick figure. You, Jayme are none of those things. In fact, you are the opposite. I will draw you someday. There is no greater compliment that I can think of when an artist wants to draw you. I will use a simple pencil to make a million complex stokes on a sheet of paper and produce someone who I know to be absolutely stunning!!
