januaryness


I've been sick all week again. I guess I couldn't get away with the lack of sleep and the spazzing out in the snow without shoes or coat.


in the middle of a week of snow, rain, and more rain, we had a day that was absolutely stunning. I dragged myself out of the house where it is safe and warm and there are emotional music videos to watch, and actually took some outdoor pictures.


it's not 'til you get all excited about macro and bokeh that you notice that the trees do, after all, plan on being beautiful this spring--buds already!



I really can't complain about anything when there's a January sky this blue.



and today was a good monday. again. ate salad, ate muffins, ranted about things with soul-people.


...and I'm having inexplicable major nostalgia for country music, amidst my irrationally-eclectic music loving. and I may or may not have rewatched pretty much every single Taylor Swift music video (except the ones I hate) yet again.



this week, I have lots of books to read and people to hug and moleskines to write in and chocolate muffins to eat. should be good. :)



verse for 2012:
 (notice the completely incidental twelves?)

rejoice in hope, 
be patient in tribulation, 
be constant in prayer.
romans 12:12

  15. Country music videos, I can get caught on youtube for hours on end watching those things. :P

    Hasn't the weather been glorious? One day beautiful sunshine, the next pouring rain. Well, that's how it's been in my part of OR anyway. It's the perfect combination to keep you from going insane.

  17. It's a pity you are sick again. I'm thrilled that I haven't gotten sick for quite sometime. I hope you are feeling better soon.
    Just a little friendly advice, maybe if you slept a little more and ate just a wee bit healthier you might not get as sick. :) But keep up getting the good hugs from people, that helps! :D A lot!
