Christmas season

Today I listened to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" guilt free :)

And yes, that is a Christmas tree on top of the space needle :D

Turkey Day

I am grateful...

(1) for my family and friends and a HEALTHY DOG (in like 2 weeks it will be the anniversary of Momo's death. It feels like forever ago).

(2) that I got into graduate school. Who knew that would happen?

(3) that I like graduate school and made friends and am pretty content with where I am in life right now. Who knew that would happen?

(4) for the food I just ate and all the food I'm going to EAT THIS WEEKEND! Wahahahahha.

(5) to be alive after tempting fate with all the plane rides I've taken since turning 24. Woo!

Thanksgiving

This year, on Thanksgiving I am thankful that my family is happy and healthy (well kind of healthy...we're all quite lazy :p). I am thankful for new friends as well as old friends - and hopefully they are happy and healthy too! I am thankful to be in school in a wonderful environment. And this is the silliest of them all - but I'm thankful the class I'm teaching doesn't hate me or think I'm a bad teacher.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It's not me, it's you

I have always been a somewhat superstitious person. In the past two weeks, two people I know have passed away in fiery car accidents. In both cases, the people I knew were rear-ended when they were being completely safe drivers.

When I heard about the accidents my first thought was "Cars can actually light on fire? I thought that was just something that happened in movies"

The reason I bring up the superstition is because I am terrified there will be a third person. So please drive safe and watch out for people behind you!!

STOP THE SELF-BANG VIOLENCE!!!

Got a haircut, it's A LOT shorter than I meant it to be, and when it's down an straight I feel like Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men. On the plus side, he fixed my bangs. I really need to stop believing I can cut them myself :)

Crouton visited me this weekend, and is currently in the bathroom...

Christine: Hello from the bathroom!!! :)

True colors shining through

My walk to work is gorgeous right now. Thanks for a better Fall than last year, Seattle!
