I can’t imagine Halloween in the Spring. It’s so much about the crisp cool breeze and falling leaves. And pumpkins. And things that smell good: apples, cinnamon, squash, also pumpkins, you know, nutmeg. It’s about getting out there, reaching out for the last possible enjoyment of nature and the subtle earthly pleasures before it all…

Changes to our daily routine
Winter Solstice
I’m so glad the days are getting longer now. Thinking about daylight shrinking just makes me so sad. This is what 2 O’clock looks like before a blizzard A.K.A. when death is upon us. Think “dismal wonderland”. Also I lost all sensation in my fingertips as I was slaving away taking pictures for the public….
SNAIL MAIL
HAH. Such a good expression. Actually, it’ll be especially slow since I’m sending these out TODAY and tomorrow is Friday, they probably won’t be there tomorrow. Then its CHRISTMAS WEEKEND. Then Monday. But who cares about Christmas cards after Christmas. I don’t care if people don’t care. I’m sending them out anyway. Also, more people…
Yankee Update
I had to switch twice during the course of our Yankee Swap work game. Present #1: I chose the biggest gift. Obviously. Which I forgot was the thing not to do during a Yankee Swap. It was an ice tea holder thing. Wut. Present #2: Someone wanted the ice tea thing (In case you’re confused:…
Yankee Punch Swap
My former boss who still works in the office, so, my co-worker, made a big fuss about us having a Yankee Swap because he thought it would instil animosity within the workplace. Feelings hurt, bruises, negative energy, etc.. Which is silly because we aren’t fourth graders. He also strangely suggested that if we went with…
6 more days!?
I went onto Ebay to see about a chess set for my uncle. Turns out, its the 19th! There are only six days left! Until Christmas! Where does the time go. I just don’t understand. I realized that I hadn’t posted any pictures of the Christmas Spirit running rampant in my home. Better late than…
A Distant Dream
Recently it’s been very rainy. This, I can deal with. In fact, I enjoy the rain. I think it’s romantic, satisfying, pacifying…Soon we will have snow, which terrifies me. I’m late, since fashion week was in September, but at times when the future seems so icy and snowy, turning to the sweetness of spring for…
Office Cheer
As with most things, my time at work is made up of peaks and troughs. Yesterday, I was assigned the task to spread Christmas cheer and there is nothing, nothing, that I enjoy more. Also those of you that actually read this may tire of hearing about the Joy of Christmas and I will unapologetically…
Fairy Dust
Winter. WINTERRRRR The pagans knew what was up. I already feel delusional emotions and inexplicable melancholy weighing heavier and heavier. On my soul. If Christmas, mass shopping hysteria, illuminated things, sledding, tubing, snow suits and drink-centric new year’s celebrations didn’t exist, winter would see more half-hearted suicide attempts, I’m sure! I was at a thrift…
