Successful Spur Of The Moment Surprise

This is the best impromptu road trip ever.

Save Tonight

This weekly cycle of longing, exuberance, and parting certainly keeps life interesting.

Hook, Line, And Sinker (But Now I'm Mixing Metaphors)

It has been awhile since a book has taken me into its maw and steadfastly refused to release me.

Three little words from my father gives me such peace of mind.

And Not Just A Home For Boxes!

Slowly, ever so slowly, and one box at a time, I am transforming this house into a home.

Standing Unobtrusively In The Corner Of My Livingroom

That was the best cause for a double take that I can possibly imagine.

I have art!

No - He Isn't Named David

I have a gnome on my phone!

I love making plans because it makes the future seem closer than it might otherwise be.

The Sound Of Rain Striking The Roof Of My Back Porch

I am constantly discovering new things about this house to love.

Very Small Margin For Error

I cooked on a gas stove tonight for the very first time and I am pleased to report that my house is still standing!

The sudden, literally overnight, change from eighty-plus degree days to fifty degrees is enough for me to seriously question my involvement by packing all of my winter clothes.

A totally unexpected surprise can make an otherwise crappy day shine.

I don't have the words to properly express just how overwhelmingly lucky I am.

Holy Crap!

We have a house!

Eleven Days

So freaking surreal.

In An Explosion Of Mirth And Stars

I fear that if one more happy accident occurs, I may very well burst from joy.

Sexy And Warm! Bonus!

I have a love affair with socks and stockings, especially ones that come up over my knee and have small seams for my sensitive toes!

Uncharted Territory

I am fully aware that I am treading dangerously close to "school girl giddiness".

Feel Free To Say No To This, But...

How incredibly different might things have turned out had I not decided to drive to Durham in the middle of the night?
