My mom found my watch in her large, black bag several days ago. I hadn't seen it in months. In fact, it might have been in there since last summer. I've been wearing it all the time now... except when contact with water is possible. I'm afraid the band is going to break. It's original shade of light green has turned to muddy green-brown.

The pieces were so long that I figured that the concert had ended when it was only intermission. I could barely keep my eyes open (my usual friday bedtime is around 6 p.m.) ( Read more... )

I don't know. Esin transported Nairobi, who is looking very pleased in her new pot. I just saw a bug crawl across the floor and under the rug. We are never really alone ( Read more... )

There are a few ups to having a cold ... like appreciating the texture of food.

Are there make-up days for taks?

I should probably be getting ready for school, but I'm so in the mood to watch Sense and Sensibility. In Pride and Prejudice, everything works out really for Lizzy and Darcy, but in S&S Marianne loses Willoughby (but gains the colonel). "He will always regret you ( Read more... )
