see the smile i've got for you

Holidays

Top ten things I love about the holidays:

1] Snow. I generally hate snow. Every so often, however, I realize how beautiful it really is and that I love the way it crunches under my feet.

2] Christmas Sweaters. Especially teacher's Christmas sweaters. I think when I become a teacher, I'll wear one once a year just for fun.

3] City Christmas Lights. All the trees and street lamps look so pretty covered in strings of lights. It makes me want to put on my hat and a scarf and stroll around downtown.

4] Month long break from classes. Do I really need to say more?

5] Giving presents. There's nothing more exciting that finding the perfect gift for someone. Even if it's small, even if it's a piece of paper, it's something that shows you care for that person.

6] Receiving presents. If you are one of those people who say you don't like getting presents for Christmas, you need to stop lying. You're making all of us look bad.

7] Christmas Music. It makes everything better. It makes my shifts at work go so much faster, even though the station never plays my favorite:



8] Christmas Trees. I love coming home to see a lighted tree in the window. Now that I have a real tree for the first time in years, it's even better. The whole house smells delightful.

9] The Nutcracker. I finally get to see the ballet this year for the first time since high school. It's one of my favorite things and I can't believe I've missed it so many years in a row.

10] Going home to see family and friends. Whether I'm going to Vegas to see my dad or Pocatello to see my mom, I get to see people I love. And that's awesome.

lord, have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways.

love these guys and can't wait for their next visit to idaho. make sure to grab their album. it's beautiful.

"Any and Vanessa giggled about the two dark mysterious man each thinking they was looking at them."

psst...

"can i borrow your bookmark?"

no responses

question: is your mystery the only interesting thing about you?

answer: no.

STOP.

october's beginning

an empty house leaves room for wandering minds and quiet imaginations.
with no business to attend to and not a soul to appease,
thoughts fall on more solemn things.

Joni Mitchell is a goddess and Nina Simone is a queen (she even said so herself).

I love you, but I'm not sure how much longer I can endure your mood swings. Please stop making me enjoy your company one minute only to make me regret being in your presence the next by treating me like I don't deserve to live.

Thanks.
