Day-cation
February is such a “blah” month. The holiday-a-month excitement is now firmly behind us, while weeks and maybe even months of chilly grey skies yawn ahead on the horizon. Firmly feeling the “blah”s, I took it into my initiative to take a mini “vacation” last Thursday! Most important in a vacation is that one doesn’t…

Thanksgiving 2012!
What? Thanksgiving? I know I know, that was two holidays ago. But I completely forgot to talk about it last year, so here goes. Thanksgiving this year was two days long, Thanksgiving and Christmas all in one, sandwiched between two overnight 7-9 hour bus rides. First of all, it’s not a proper holiday unless my…

Christmas Past
Roomie’s giant dog Toby assures me he has been good this year…and then sat on my lap. Christmas has come and gone, even though it really doesn’t feel like it. I had a strange one this year: I woke up at 6am, took a bath by candlelight before the dawn hit, and then rode a…

This weekend, my flatmate (which sounds better than roommate, I’ve decided, because A. It’s British and B. it won’t confuse people into thinking…

The Write Stuff
A lot of blogs I know have been linking up with Joelle at Something Charming for this cool handwriting post. I love it because I think handwriting is very intimate.
