1. eating a whole quart of strawberries. oh, and that would be me eating a whole quart of strawberries — just wanted to clarify. i guess i was trying to prove that there is truth in the expression, “too much of a good thing.” my stomach disliked me immensely around 3pm. a quart of strawberries [...]

little girls
every evening this week i leave my hometown by no later than 5:40pm to spend forty minutes making a few heads of hair look like orphan heads of hair from 1933. it requires much teasing, tying of rags around pig tails, and no brushing. i’m really not very skilled at the art of dressing hair [...]
lesson learned
i lasted two whole days. two whole days of fruits, vegetables, and today a whole wheat tortilla with lentils and brown rice. but when i arrived back home to a small tray of cookies with the words “To Louissa, From Lisa” written on them, i felt conflicted to the very core of my being. should [...]

2) some of the people in the world that i love. i’m not sure there will ever be one picture that holds everyone i love.

[...]
multiple choice question
i may have a smoothie with cinnamon-and-pudding-filled bread for dinner because i:
a.) have a sweet tooth
b.) find it a waste of time to prepare a “real” meal for just one person
c.) enjoy simpler foods now and then
d.) all of the above
the bubsters
if i’ve learned anything this summer, it’s how special my friends are.
meet bubs the snubs (or snubs the bubs or snubby dubby bubby or bubsie or just plain old ben):
(sorry for the blurriness. cell phone doesn’t always equal the best quality photos.)
basically everyone thinks the world of him. he plays the violin like no other, [...]
