today was missing chicago

also, and separately, today i heard 'refuses to settle,' as opposed to 'hasn't found someone.' i like that better.

and the beat goes on

1.1.11

coffee in the sun

an impromptu grab bag game

ping pong playing, refereed by luna sombra

and, after a gamble run, a very special spot at the bar

resolutions

while i'm thinking of it

sew
be a better listener
learn to french braid, preferably my own hair
do more of what i want instead of what i think i should do
slow down, otherwise known as enjoy the *moment*
successfully learn to crack an egg with one hand (and any other crafty tricks i can learn)
knit something besides a scarf
and, i think a repeat of last year - and worth the repeating - stop judging, stop talking about other people, stop comparing, stop starting with negative thoughts. otherwise known as be kind.

halloween weekend, fun.

unfortunately, no pictures of the treasure hunt.

*what* am i crying about?

warm-sun, cool-tent, tasty-beer camping

loving the curiosity/energy/wonder/instantaneous smiles of three brothers

the harmony in music and laughter

tender, hours-old deer meat (and my recent awe- and ew-inspiring field-to-palate education)

frog-leg frying

and, now, missing the freedom and camaraderie and sunshine and bonfire and especially the tent mate
