on my bed, looking out the window.  cool breeze, hot face.  (the hot face is because i'm drinking my post-work beer and that is just what happens to me)  anyway, someone's wind chimes are ringing on their porch and it's that awesome not-too-close-to-be-obnoxious but just-close-enough-to-be-totally-perfect sound...   a boy is coming over any minute ( Read more... )

i'm willing to pay for two household services that i either physically can't do or just don't have the patience for.  the first job is seasonal, it would be winter months only, so in other words, most of the year, and it entails putting lotion on my back every day.  i say this not because i want for physical affection (which i do) but because every ( Read more... )

having a beer in the shower at the end of a long day is one of my life's greatest pleasures.

The last 2 days have been great, full, life-worth-living kind of days.  Can I tell you about them?

Sunday

I woke up early, had my peaceful coffee time and met up with my cousin Abby to go to my church, Bethel, right down the street.  I love that the pastor doesn't always do the traditional 3-part sermon - this service he ran a slide show of his ( Read more... )

hello!  been awhile.  work has been so short staffed and crazy and now its just two whole days of whatever i want to do!  rachel is coming up in a bit and we're going to bristol mountain to go skiing.  pretty exciting, i haven't been there.  i'm trying to get prepped for going to vermont at the end of march, to sugarbush ( Read more... )
