Winter Break

You know what I like about being a student?
You can have things like Winter Break and Spring Vacation. Those terms don't mean a thing to you when you've got an office job.

It's Winter Break. Hooray.

It's been snowing all week in Corvallis {which I love}.

But it's making nasty weather for my planned trip home for Christmas {which I don't love}.

I am nearly done with all my Christmas shopping. Good for me.

I've resisted the peppermint white mocha {for the most part} and even been to the gym a couple of times.

I'm still trying to swear off sugar until after Hawaii in February but I anticipate that will be especially difficult over the next week.

A girl can dream, right?

Almost There

People.

I am one week away from being done with finals.

And then I might blog here until classes resume. January 12th.

I will probably only talk about my struggle to avoid the fatal peppermint white mocha and copious glasses of wine at holiday parties, which I have written off in attempt to banish the cellulite I see has taken up residence on my thighs.

I must be getting old because along with that, I have gray hair. A lot of gray hair. My husband said he could SEE IT WHILE HE WAS STANDING SEVERAL FEET AWAY FROM ME.

Hellloooo???

Is that something you should say to your wife?

December + January Plans:

*Annihilate cellulite

*Banish gray hair

Salud.

Couldn't Resist...

Friends....

You've noticed that I've been neglectful of this space??

I'm sorry.

New projects, old projects, school, the necessity of sleep and a wish to spend free time cat-napping, attending yoga, or listening to Debussy has contributed to my absence.

You won't be able to find me here for awhile.

But I hope to return.

Lots of Love.

Friday Morning

Hello friends.

I have been so busy elsewhere - there has simply been no time to post here.

But I seem to have found some stolen moments this Friday morning and thought I'd share with you two things:

1) what I dreamed about last night

&

2) what I'm planning for today

To my first point - I've been a very restless sleeper the past few weeks. I've been having nightmares every night. I'm talking - death, destruction, apocalyptic events. Last night, though, I dreamed about breakfast.

To my second point - it appears Fall has finally arrived. It is chilly and grey here. AND I LOVE IT. I'm planning on spending the day napping, lighting candles, taking walks, drinking tea, and maybe later getting around to more serious business.

Um. excuse me. Do you realize that SATC the Movie came out on dvd this week. Yes. It did.

Peace Out.

Mom - This is for You.
