happy stuff.

this morning, i had the most wonderful, bizarro dream between the time my last snooze alarm went off and the time i woke up and realized i had overslept a little. in part of it, we were in paris and grandma wanted to stay at this fancy schmancy hotel, so we were exploring it and [...]

this one has to do with numbers and (surprisingly) i can’t seem to stop wanting to play!

i started the day off with a “fun run” at the local college. it was only 2 miles long, and i am pleased to say that i finished in just under 20 minutes. woo hoo! what a refreshing start to the day! this afternoon we had a “girl’s day out” with the extended in-law women. [...]

today on our way to kansas, i saw five hawks. four sitting high up on things and one flying. they’re really big birds! had a lovely thanksgiving dinner with the extended in-laws. the youngest kept asking me, “where’s that boy? the one that goes with you?” (referring to mr. h-s) very yummy coconut dessert and [...]

sorry i’ve been silent for a few days, but i’ve been a bit busy. let’s start on friday. friday morning, i went to break the news to my boss that i’ve applied for a position at a different library, closer to home, and that they wanted to check references. i had my heart in my [...]

this morning, i woke up facing my bedroom window. outside, it was that time of day when it could still be night, but it might be morning (or at least that was the level of light). as i looked through my gauzy curtain, i could see a ball of light in the sky, but i [...]

today is the first snow of the season and it’s lovely! it started off kind of yucko–small, tiny, biting flakes–but the flakes keep growing and the ground is getting whiter and whiter. so pretty!

so… this time it’s not me traveling. and i’m still trying to decide if it’s officially “happy stuff” because there’s some jealous (and then again not) involved in this post, but… here’s the story, decide for yourself. this morning, a mere few hours after i’d bid dear sweet mr. h-s a good day and told [...]
