xmas:

xmas wishlist

my sweet grandmother has been begging me for almost a month to send her a christmas wish list with links. for some reason, this seemed a horrible chore -- for a reason outlined earlier, and because, even though i can easily window shop online for myself day in and day out, i find that actually settling on an item is really, really difficult. perhaps that has something to do with the limited amount of space i have to put things.

i finally jotted a couple of items down to send to her in an email, and realized that they all sort of go together in outfit form. i guess you can click for more info?

me, today:


i'm not sure exactly how it happened, but i became terrible at the internet. my google reader reached 1000+ months ago, my email inbox is in disarray, correspondence is past-due, i haven't updated blogger or tumblr, i rarely even stalk on facebook. i guess that my eyes are so tired of looking at the damned computer screen by the end of my six-hour workday that i just want to come home and put on my softest shirt and drink a hot cup of tea (see above) or a cold beer and do nothing. catching up on the weekend is out of the question, too, since there are always trips and festivals and bike rides and camp-outs and receptions and half-marathons (??) on my metaphorical plate. 

all that to say, i'm sorry i've been absent, but i'm really not sorry. life is pretty good.
