((not really)).
But Funnel and I are in this week’s edition of “alive”

((my best suprised/excited face!)).

Tonight I started to feel overwhelmed.  I was looking through old photo albums, and I was brought back to times where I was a different person with a completely different life.  I have called many different places “home” and I have loved and been loved by so many different people.  Even the ones who aren’t in my life [...]

First snow of the year today.  It took me about an hour and a half to get to work — traffic was at a crawl, and sometimes a standstill, but it was nice, in a way.  It was really quiet and I got to listen to Turning Point in full, eat my clementine and watch the snow [...]

At work, we’ve [...]

“Float” by Jennifer Davis
Last weekend we were in Indianapolis.

In less than a month, we will be vacationing for a week in the little victorian fishing village that is Cape May, with my parents and my Grandma June.

We’re going to bring bicycles, books to read on the beach (I need to catch up on my McSweeneys subscription!) and movies to watch in the evenings. [...]
