Less than extraordinary days seem to happen to me quite often.

-I frolicked and danced while no customers were in the bank to cheer up Sara. It kinda? worked.

-When the left-turn green arrow appeared, the man in the lane next to me went straight through a red light that we'd been stopped at for a minute. I laughed hard by myself in my car, and thought things such as "What a moron!"

-Ryan brought me China King take out! Then my lenses came in a day early from UPS, and I ignored Ryan the rest of the night!!! I ordered the beauties yesterday morn! Hooray for early Christmas! I can't wait to go experiment outside my house with them when I wake tomorrow. It shall be a good day.

My fool of a dog Macy, looking all sad and cute like usual.


Prince Edmund James- the king of his castle. My, oh, my, what long legs you have!




On a less superficial level, I've been thinking about my Mexican loves and how dearly I miss them. Six months was too much; six months was not enough. Today was Jose Carlos' birthday. Wish I could celebrate con mi amigo!




Aw, te extraño, mi amor. Quiero verte pronto. Te quiero muchisimo. Sometimes, you just gotta let the tears flow.



I can't begin to explain how much I love them and how much I wish distance didn't exist. 'When I think of distance, I think of the knife.'


peace, love, and shalom.

Finally, in December!

Hello stalkers.......

(I feel so flattered you stalk me.)

So I have not had any time to update this blog in about a month and half…sad, I know. But school sucks and jobs suck more…and that is simply life, my friends. (Go read about it in the book of “Job.” Everything is freaking meaningless. ) At least I have a dog. And Ryan. And, more importantly, Edmund. I’m kinda ticked at life that I haven’t really had any time to do anything creative lately, but I guess I’ll just get over it. Now that the semester is over, I have until the middle of January when SLU starts back up (and my life starts sucking again) to do everything I’ve ever wanted to do. Hallelujah. Good things will be done. Mainly, lots of being benevolent and speaking in big, confusing words…(.and being truly crafty with the mind and creative skills.) Gotta love it.

On a completely different note, Ryan and I went skating a few days ago. We got in trouble for taking pictures. What the heck?! Isn’t that a cliché event to capture? No manches! …Whatever. We got our pictures, we did our skating, we conquered what we went to conquer. THE END! (The photos aren’t on my computer yet, but give it time and I’ll get some up.)

On a shallow note, the two tangible items I would be more than happy to receive for Christmas, or any other reason, are: A.) a dark room…with all the necessary supplies. Or, B.) A nice Steinway GRAND piano…with all the necessary skills.

Less tangible: A.) a book published. B.) a song produced.


If any body cares, which ALL of you should, our church is promoting “The Advent Conspiracy.” It’s basically about making Christmas about Jesus again rather than our selfish selves. …Let’s give it a whirl. Spend less money, but spend more time….less uselessness, more things that matter. Give to people who really need it.

Hmmm….what else? I miss Kevin pollo.

Mi KEBIN! If I could, I would fly to Mexico snatch him up…and I guess I’d have to get Carlos, too, in that case…and Luz Elena…and Jose Carlos… (Crap, I play favorites.) …but I would at least get mi Kevin and be his best friend and love him. Haha. Simply stated. …Geez. I miss them all. Cheers to a difficult, but very great six months in Mexico! ¡¡¡Los EXTRAÑO!!!



Let’s love each other deeply.

This Christmas…and for the rest of our lives.


Embark on the greater journey.
