YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Friday just got proportionately better! It went from being wonderful to being FABULOUS.
I had just posted the following (see below post):
I’m excited about what is just around the corner – I don’t quite know what that is, but I’m seeing inklings, and it’s fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.
My very specific requests to go part time at [...]

Last night, I tossed and turned in bed. I eventually got up, wandered around for a bit, climbed back into bed, tossed and turned some more…then got out of bed, yet again, found a note from my roommate just outside my door which made me smile, went to the kitchen, had a glass of [...]

Had a couple of paradigm shifts today; it’s been a crazy day. And I’m out in half an hour and on my way to campus.
I have the best seventeen year old brother in the world.
In case anyone was wondering. =)
I’m restless. Here, there, everywhere. It’s a good [...]

One moment upon another
Indescript
Solitude
Amidst a sea of bodies
The comforting hum
Pitter-pattering the senses
Life
Just out of reach
Eighteen minutes
A lifetime passes
Breathe in, breathe out
And then, then, your day is over
You embrace the drive home
Drinking in your freedom

If someone brought me a hot chocolate or a mocha or anything hot right now, I think I would love them forever.

I currently cannot feel my toes. The heat was cut in the demolition of the adjoining suite, which means, since I sit near an open door right at the edge, and they are painting today and have the windows opened to the 32 degree world outside, I am the main recipient of the frigid [...]

The cigarette smoke clung to him lazily as he leaned against the brick wall on his break; we worked at the same coffee shop and he was the quintessential bad boy, as night as I was day, but I adored him.
He was a flaming liberal; I was super conservative. He had to get gas at [...]

There’s a reason U2 is one of my favorites. When words fail, when you want to go on strike, when you are ready to pack your bags and move to Alaska…you’re reminded, once again, that it’s a beautiful day.
[U2's "It's A Beautiful Day"]
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there’s [...]

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
[U2's With or Without You]

I currently live in suburbia right outside a huge metro city but I work about an hour north and one of my coworkers lives an hour further northwest on a farm; today, she told me she raises chickens, which makes me supremely nostalgic, remembering the time my family raised chickens. Why did we? [...]

Upon asking my former roommate and closest friend, Anna, what her plans are for the week, I received the following email response:
Tonight I am reenacting the battle of Hastings in my living room. Tuesday I will hone my blacksmithing skills after I finish the kiln. Wednesday I plan to eat an entire bushel of apples [...]

Jon was home from law school this weekend and last night, I joined him and two other friends, along with his parents, his sister and three of her friends for a Thanksgiving meal; it was so good to be around the dinner table again, for it used to be a common occurrence for a handful [...]

One of the hardest things in the world is to leave your eight-year-old brother who is begging you to stay.
One of the best things is he’s begging you to stay.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Over the Rhine, “Jesus In New Orleans”
recording: OHIO
The last time I saw Jesus
I was drinking bloody mary’s in the South
In a barroom in New Orleans
Rinsin’ out the bad taste in my mouth
She wore a dark and faded blazer
With a little of the lining hanging out
When the jukebox played Miss Dorothy Moore
I knew that it was [...]

[From the musical Camelot, ARTHUR:]
“How to handle a woman?
There’s a way,” said the wise old man,
“A way known by ev’ry woman
Since the whole rigmarole began.”
“Do I flatter her?” I begged him answer.
“Do I threaten or cajole or plead?
Do I brood or play the gay romancer?”
Said he, smiling: “No indeed.
How to handle a woman?
Mark me well, [...]

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. I cannot wait to be done with work today! As such, 9 p.m. cannot come too soon. ;) Only because freedom is so tantalizingly close. I’m spending time with family, and I’m hanging out with Anna (former roommate of two plus years) at [...]

And no, it’s not just because tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S… ;)
I’m thankful for so many things and hope to write a post later today on the subject…but in the meantime, what are you thankful for?

To quote my sister, “I’m stuffed like a frog!” Of course, she was two or three when she coined the infamous phrase, but it became a family staple around the dinner table.
Had a yummy lunch comprised of a chicken fajita.

Ever feel like you’re just on the verge of something great and fabulous? Even if it’s just the prospect of the ability to take a nap? ;)
I’m setting things into place to drop down to part time at the firm, and I’m excited. Ecstatically excited. Visions of more sleep, more exercise, and [...]

I discovered a new café this weekend, heralded as a chocolate café. I was hanging out with my girlfriend and her nineteen month old son so we didn’t stop in, but I’m ecstatically excited at the thought of a chocolate café and eagerly look forward to trying it out in the near future. [...]
