you do not care that in a dreamlike trance i shut my alarm off this morning and slept an hour more, giving me a grand total of 25 minutes to ready myself for the day.  and it probably doesn’t matter to you that i sat in my office chair for 8 hours and they whizzed… Continue reading just a thought.

i received my first jury summons today.  does that mean i’m a legit walking, talking adult who supposedly thinks logically enough to be a part of an actual jury?  guess so. and i’m either still super young or i’ve watched too many law & order episodes because my first reaction to the piece of mail… Continue reading jury duty! hello jack mccoy!

i put my pajamas on at 5:30pm (it’s never too early to wear the favorite floral pj bottoms on a sunday).  i set up my younger brother’s xbox and a friend and i raced cars.  it’s been about two years since i sat in our loft playing a video game.  i’m dreadful, we wrecked our… Continue reading play on sunday

in the midst of snow and beauty, i hopped in my little blue car with a companion sister, and we drove away. nutcrackers were met and hats tried on. it was two hours of driving there, two hours of strolling streets, eating crepes and drinking coffee, and another two hour drive back.  and it was… Continue reading i ran away yesterday.

and so i’m here in this room only lit by a giant decorated tree.  this was the first christmas that i started to ponder how strange it is for us to bring something into the middle of our house that actually belongs in a forest, throw lights and a strange assortment of knick knacks on… Continue reading the learning year

i may be rather biased but i’m pretty sure we’re a decent lookin’ bunch.  you can thank the daddy and the mumsie for the great genes that made such beauties. on a more serious note: the Lord has blessed me.  christmas of 2010 will go down in one of my books as a best &… Continue reading i love my family & christmas
