“You know I was married for 23 years to the love of my life, and he died six years ago. And I think of all the years we had, and the wonderful fringe benefit of having three beautiful children. I don’t miss the sex, you know? And to me that’s kind of what this boils down to. I don’t miss that. I mean, I certainly missit, but I don’t, it’s not — (Laughter from chambers) — it is certainly not the...
“Our love is like a well in the wilderness where time watches over the wandering lightning. Our sleep is a secret tunnel that leads to the scent of apples carried on the wind. When I hold you, I hold everything that is—swans, volcanoes, river rocks, maple trees drinking the fragrance of the moon, bread that the fire adores. In your life I see everything that lives.” - Pablo...

I know this was killing all of you as much as it was killing me: After a seasons-long quest, I just found my perfect sandals. Everyone breathe a sigh of relief and pray they don’t hurt.

Amazon Commitment Issues conquered by books and kitchenwares. (Shocking.) / Conflict of Interests still going strong despite (fueled by?) all of the outside incredulity and tsk-tsking. / I am literally living off of whole fruit and bacon cheeseburgers right now, and it’s kind of amazing. I cannot recommend the Petrol Station highly enough. / I signed up for a 6:30a yoga class/haven’t...

I swear there are other things going on in my life aside from Downton Abbey. They’re just not as important right now.
An amazon.com gift card is simultaneously the most clever and most evil thing. I now have a wish list full of things I’ve been wanting forever and things I didn’t even know I wanted. Examples: Gourmet’s book of Italian recipes, a Diptyque myrrhe candle, a Silpat half sheet, a gold Nixon watch, and Muppet Treasure Island. Still considering the addition of a pocket knife, the...

Fifteen days left in December/two thousand eleven. The war in Iraq is over, but we seem to still be in Afghanistan & Pakistan, so, you know, only kind of over, I guess. Nine years is a lot of time and not very much time. Everyone seems weirded out by the anticlimax. (I wish I knew a better word/term for ‘weirded out,’ but the thesaurus offers no help/is too extreme) I have a lot of...
Gift Dragon slain. Now for a lot of knitting.
It’s really hard to stop the Christmas Shopping.
Additionally my allergies are killing me & our tree looks like gold exploded all over it (this is magical when the tree is lit // tacky/ugly as sin otherwise). Happy Holidays.
