Today is…
I have officially declared today a no make-up, sweat pants and t-shirt, green tea, futon lounging, tv and reading, watch the snowfall land on the lake kind of day. I like these days 🙂

Bastard Wrinkles and The Like.
All I want to do right now is curl up with either my December edition of Women’s Health or Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist on my futon in my beautiful, quaint apartment. I think my muscles just relaxed at the thought of it. However I feel it necessary to paint you a real picture of…

Uncomfortably Full, Fat, and Happy Thanksgiving!
The family has gone home. The bird has been de-boned and divvied up. The dessert plates have been washed and put back in storage and the casseroles, stuffing, and freshly baked rolls are no more than a not-so-distant memory.

To Miss What You Do Not Think to Remember

You never cover up or keep it all inside.
It is possible to find joy in sorrow. It is possible to find sorrow in joy. Sometimes, happiness incites memories of pain; right reminds us of wrong. It is during these times that I find myself unable to speak. I don’t know what to say. Where do I draw the line between explaining where I’ve been…
