a fresh breath of spring

Tanita & David: Thank you thank you thank you!

The flowers are so pretty and on this day when storm clouds are coming in, again, provide a nice shock of color and freshness. What a nice surprise.

You guys rule...

the year, so far

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm done making fun of Britney Spears.

It's not about being a kinder, gentler person but my god, when is enough finally enough? I watched some video online this morning - it was Britney in a car at a gas station while her friend/ assistant pumped gas and the paparazzi shoved camera's at the car's windshield and Spears, bald and dressed in a sweatsuit and gym shorts, tried to shrink down in her seat.

I actually had to click the video off, it made me feel so sick. And don't give me the she-did-this-to-herself line...You know what they say about the tango.

Moving on...it's been an odd year so far. But not in a bad way, I guess - except for the part where I'm dealing with my annual bout of bronchitis and can't sleep thanks to all the coughing. The sickness though has actually given me a much-needed respite from the world and I've been spending a lot of time reading and crafting ideas for new stories and so forth. I'm finally coming to terms with the idea that I'm just a few years away from the next decade of my life and what this means to me is: Figure some stuff out, already - you only live once, so act like it.

In related news, Cory & I are actually going to take a trip this year that involves more than just an overnight bag. We have both finally come to the conclusion that spending money on travel is just as important as spending money on the house because we tend to get sick of the house.

Ok, I'll now end this rant that really only makes sense to me. But really, people, lay off The Brit.

tech woes..

Confidential to David & Tanita - my computer crashed and I lost all my emails - including the one with that recipe you sent.

Also, confidential to everyone else: I probably lost your email addresses too. Boo.
