Been working on laurenforpresident a lot lately. Should be up within a week or so, I'm hoping. I'm trying to transfer all my LJ posts over to Wordpress, which I've set up already. Gah, it's all so fucking COMPLICATED! In the meantime, here's more beautiful words.

On my way back from taking out the trash, I suddenly remembered the swing my Dad made for me when we first moved into this house. I think he put up even before we assembled my bed. Katie and I would spend hours on that turquoise disk, taking turns flinging eachother into the sky, screaming with laughter. Of course, I had to go back and spend ( Read more... )

I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!

Today, as I lay on the couch, in my my pajamas and puffed up like a walrus, I am treated with the company of the cabinet carpenters. These delightful chaps wander in and out of the room, carrying big pieces of wood and jumping everytime the timer-light in the fishtank goes off.

Wrong numbers are the most beautiful part of my day.

On a less random note, I'm going to make a serious effort to post SOMETHING in here at least once a day from now on, at least until I get laurenforpresident.com up and running. Pinky swear.

Hi, um, I'm very very contrite that I haven't posted here in awhile. Sometimes I start to write an entry, and then the overwhelming shame just crashes down and collapses my hand muscles until I'm nothing more than a crumpled, distorted figure in my swivley chair, barely able to breathe for shame. Then, of course, is when the dachshund leaps into ( Read more... )
