1. Valentine’s Day is coming soon.  It might be my favorite holiday. ((“It is not a real holiday” says Funnel.)) 
2. I have discovered that they are making movies of two of my favorite childhood books:Where the Wild Things Are and Cloudy, with a Chance of Meatballs.

I bought this fabric at JoAnne’s and I’m going to make a dress when I go home in a couple of weekends.  Mom says it reminds her of her grandmother.

I wish spring would come.  I could live in dresses and skirts.
And spring means many happy things for me besides bare legs.  I am very much [...]

I saw three of my favorite little creatures today. 
In August, when I first started working here, I met three ducks.  I would see them nearly every day on my way to the cafeteria for lunch.  The special thing about these ducks is that they are all different- one is pure white, one is black, and the [...]

Tonight was Stephanie’s last day at work.  We went to Applebee’s and my boss bought us drinks and I had a strong margarita that I could not finish if I wanted to make it back to Reynoldsburg in one piece.  Our department has dwindled down from five to three people since I arrived in August [...]

Funnel and I have been married for over two months now. In so many ways, our wedding day seems so far away, but really it isn’t. It was so so lovely, to me. It was happy. It seems like the wait was so long (because we knew from the beginning).
As a little girl, I dreamed [...]

When I was in high school, people always would say, “wait until you get to college.  It’s so different.  There’s not as much drama.”  I might even be guilty of saying that a time or two to my younger friends. But as college progressed, I realized it was untrue.  College drama might even be worse than [...]
