Those of you who know me well know that I have a serious infatuation with lingerie.  Tonight, I was forced to throw away what had been one of my favorite pairs of underwear due to a tragic elastic accident.

I'm trying to weed out the collection anyway (sob).

Bitsy and Levi are visiting for the weekend.  So far, Bits is continuously upset by all the ( Read more... )

Now that some time has passed, I feel that I can accurately deal with the way I feel about being here, about the people I'm meeting, about classes and work.
