let’s wrap this up

We can even pretend to wrap it up in a blanket because it’s cold and there was a blizzard this morning. I was going to take a picture of the blizzard but I don’t really need to because I took a picture of a blizzard a long time ago and the thing about blizzards is … Continue reading »

and then i giggled like i was 11 and had just consumed 14 cans of mountain dew

Isn’t Mountain Dew gross? I used to love it when I was a kid, though. Anyway. I may come up with a better post later, or not. I haven’t decided. But for now, I just want to say thank goodness for Twitter, because if it didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have read this and therefore wouldn’t … Continue reading »

i knew they were out to get me

This morning I was in bed, and I wasn’t quite asleep, but I didn’t feel like getting up quite yet either. So I guess we can say I was being lazy. It’s Saturday, so I’m sure that’s allowed. Anyway, I was on my side, kind of staring at the wall, thinking about what I might … Continue reading »

i have no title for this

There’s a What Not To Wear marathon on today. I’m not getting anything done. Not that I had so much to do, but still. I don’t know why this show is like a great big gleaming rock of crack to me, but it is. It really is. In other news, I had a slightly disturbing … Continue reading »

the thankful list, 2008

It’s tradition. I am thankful for this tree. Really, I am thankful for most trees. I love them. I am thankful for night photography, especially when it’s cold outside, which goes against everything that makes any sense about me, but there’s something especially thrilling about the bite in the air and waiting waiting waiting for … Continue reading »

to be brief

I’m not feeling very wordy today so I just want to say that whether your day is a holiday or just another Thursday, I hope today is excellent: full to overflowing with reminders of why you enjoy being alive, and topped off with some really good pie.

the jamelah cooking show

Oh hello. I’m getting some things ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Actually, I’m just doing the one thing: I am in charge of the sweet potatoes. Occasionally I am also in charge of marbled pumpkin cheesecake, but I don’t really feel like being in charge of marbled pumpkin cheesecake this year because it’s a lot of … Continue reading »

things i’m not writing about

I haven’t done a Ulysses update for a bit, so here goes: I don’t think I’m going to finish it by the end of November. I wonder if maybe the pages started reproducing or something because it seems like there are more of them than there were when I first cracked open the book (for … Continue reading »

i am so graceful

So I was sort of like the official photographer at my cousin’s wedding on Saturday. I say sort of, because there really wasn’t an official photographer, but I had the biggest camera. And my cousin specifically asked if I would bring my camera, so… whatever. Anyway, they got married in a tiny little church out … Continue reading »

three years

Three years ago today my best friend Stacy was killed in a car accident on her way to work. I don’t know what to say about that anymore. It’s strange, going on living after someone you love so much dies, how life is suddenly divided into Before and After, and it’s uncomfortable sometimes, knowing how … Continue reading »
