Done for the night.

After a grueling twelve hour day, I decided to shut my brain off for the night. Pajamas, hot cocoa with peppermint and whip cream, a warm bed and a tv show. Relaxation, here I come.

Aren't these little guys so cute? 

How to say it.

One day (hopefully) I'll find someone that I want to be with forever. Of course, I have the same problem most people have; I need space. I need the space that the solitude of night time brings, the time in the morning when I'm getting ready, the moments when I sit on my bed with my laptop and write. There are times when I just need space from everyone, no matter how much I love you.
So in case you're wondering, future spouse, I still love you but right now I need to be alone. I don't want to worry about what I am or what I am not saying. Forgive me.

I did this...

...expecting to come to this.

But guess what! No snow.

Round 2

Thanksgiving round  two was just as great as the first.
Since learning to let the spirit take over the body is basically
the main reason we are on earth, not overeating is a great way to get into Heaven.
I'm doomed to vanish into a vast nothingness and live forever in darkness. But I swear,
after the holidays, I'll eat better.

PS- only thirty sleeps till Christmas. Not including naps.

I'm thankful for...

...pretty things,
my bike,
my health and strength,
everyone that's ever loved me and changed me to become who I am,
education,
technology,
scarves,
hats,
beanies,
California,
sunshine,
air,
water (the kind you drink and the kind you swim in),
light bulbs,
kites,
wind,
rain,
pictures,
my family (We went on a marvelous twenty mile bike ride then ate tons and bunches of food),

books (Not just these ones. Cause I've only read one of these. But you get the point.),

ice cream,

kisses, hugs, love.

watermelon,

Aaaaand for friends.

For today.

Take me far away.

I lovelovelove when airplanes are three hours late.

But I'm home. Lovelovelove being home.

Fly away.

Found a film camera and figured I'd have a go. The pictures are whatever but I like it.

Also, stuck in an airport for two hours long that I expected. This is awesome. I got lots of writing done.

'Tis the season

'Tis the season of ice packed roads, cold toes and overcoats. Hats and boots and scarves and gloves. Now is the time to fall in love. Seat warmers and blankets, cocoa by the fire. Soup and runny noses, sleds and missing home. Movies with the curtains open, ignore the screen, watch the storm.

I have the perfect love to keep me company this winter. I wrap up in a blanket with my tea or cocoa and grab a book. Read to my heart's content. There's no other person to make me too warm. There's no one's comfort to worry about but my own. My book won't leave me if I'm in a bad mood. I found the perfect love.

Yesterday's unexpected choices took me unexpected places and that was amazing.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
-Emily Dickinson

So maybe I didn't get to kiss the person I love. But I got to celebrate with a bunch of strangers and have a great night. Also, I got to meet some potentially important people.

Waiting makes me anxious.

Going home in five days.

When I grow up, I'm going to have an awesome house.
