When the caffeine hits me (every day around 3:00) I go to Facebook and/or text message and I want to send people messages that say “you’re beautiful,” “I love you,” or “follow your heart.” It’s like drunk texting! but it’s caffeine. The only thing stopping me from 5 per day is risk of Douglas asking me why. That’s what he said one time when I told someone “you’re beautiful” and she was weirded out because I hardly know her at all (whatever)

I found out my high school guidance counselor lives in my neighborhood and I’m treating it like the best thing to ever happen. at this point I could be considered a stalker

UPDATE we exchanged numbers and she is coming to my housewarming party! now I can yell to them from my car window/handcycle and its okay. her husband is a wonderful man. I am still kind of creepy about it though

they really came! here we see me at my happiest

thank you, Kris

recently I’ve become an EXPERT at standing up for myself. !
Godwin you would be so proud of me

I tried to take a Kristin & Achilles picture to send Douglas in Brazil but all of Achilles’ faces she looks like she’s high on drugs. this is the most eyes-open one she took. my stoner baby

I fell out of my chair into the grass and my elbow landed in dog poop

I am now an official Makers Mark Ambassador ****

my lunchbox today:

a book
a notebook
micron pens
thank you cards
and a Babybel cheese circle

hopefully I won’t get hungry this afternoon then

Douglas is going to Brazil for a MONTH and you would think he’s dying and/or broke up with me with the way I’ve cried. I also cried from excitement to give him the banjo I bought him for Christmas. I also cried when he said he’ll miss me because I was so happy. And I also cried when I heard about how much fun Florida for Christmas is going to be without Douglas.
BLAST I’m turning into Rhonda. so emotional

I AM THE HAPPIEST HUMAN ON EARTH –> 🌍

Now that I have to pay bills, Achilles plays with ice cubes

I’ve spent this afternoon laying over my knees, zooming around, chasing the Roomba around my living room. I LOVE living in a house. that’s not sarcasm

I played this song for Douglas on the way to Shelley’s Halloween party because I thought it was spook-themed, but he said it’s about love. :( waste

No words for how cool this cake was. I have so much talented friends

Achilles is my first born

look at Achilles’ face in this picture

10 years of chapters, hundreds of dollars, 3 years of editing and I just submitted my manuscript to a publisher. this is a big deal THIS IS A BIG DEAL I AM VERYEXCITED

MY BOOK WAS ACCEPTED.
- a little bit (!) of work to do
but
they said
yes

I used to love this band/song when I was younger and I just watched the music video again. All the singers are in their 40s?

-an animated meadow

whenever I mention that my house has a bedai toilet I either get (in person) and awkward laugh or (in text) a change of subject. Douglas said I should stop mentioning it but I am very excited about it and I don’t understand why it’s bad to mention. it’s just a toilet okay

laying in bed last night I’m stressing about/debating getting up to hand wash the spaghetti-spatula in my dishwasher that I KNOW won’t get cleaned in one cycle. wow who am I I’m a homeowner
