i saw this over at abraham’s place (that’s where i find all the funny videos i pass along) this morning and chuckled. the last 24 hours have been pull-your-hair-out-frustrating as i tried to figure out what i’m doing to celebrate the coming of a new year. at around 5:30pm last night i was in the… Continue reading no pressure. not tonight at least.
in the midst of snow and beauty, i hopped in my little blue car with a companion sister, and we drove away. nutcrackers were met and hats tried on. it was two hours of driving there, two hours of strolling streets, eating crepes and drinking coffee, and another two hour drive back. and it was… Continue reading i ran away yesterday.
