ho ho ho

decked the halls and celebrated with some wine & elf. the christmas season has begun.

in focus

with the sable officially dead- my dad helped me buy a new car- i felt like i may have signed my life away. 2011 ford focus- it's smarter than me- it's a car from the future.

turkey-lurkey

ice cream turkey in addition to 2 regular turkeys. i love my family & thanksgiving.

how hydrated are you?

yet another one of the most incredible things i have ever found during health & safety inspections.

no mas, no more

Close the SOA/WHINSEC protest rally & funeral procession today. Culmination of which is a funeral march and we place crosses of those killed by graduated or suspected grads of the SOA. ita was an incredible woman- also in homage of beth ford who always writes ita's name on her cross- but was running the philly marathon with her students run philly style the same morning. all in all- great weekend in georgia.

ruthann's

romantic dinner for 23 at ruthann's in columbus, ga. my date- carla- alum and amiga currently- later we had a sleepover and chatted about the joys of a volunteer year. what a good egg.

quality

arrived at the quality inn in fabulous columbus, georgia. in case you were unclear of the smoking areas & ashtrays- my room is one, this is not.

baby buck

baby shower for baby buckridge today. all in all a success....cake baking credit to akdoc

checkmate

got a teaser gift from courtney in the mail- getting ready for my visit- took this photo to show her that the amazing CHECKMATE t-shirt has arrived.

wolves at the door

the '98 sable is officially dead. needs a new transmission- and i need a car down payment. so, it was time to clean out the trunk and get rid of it. pretty monumental- considering it's the car i learned how to drive on- went to empty the trunk- found, among many other things, these christmas wolves that used to be my grandmothers. WTF.

magic

took krissy to the magical gardens on south street. it took the artist 14 years to complete. i could go there every day for 14 years and still find new things to look at.

illinoise

sufjan stevens at the academy of music. beautiful. incredible. genius. and just a little bit of astronauts & aliens.

lazzzzeerrrsss

brought a laser tag group to work today- everyone loved it. it was the best 500 bucks i spent of someone else's money.

hawk & wildcat

dinner with margaret to relive the joy of the farm- and we took some photos with "laura" so she was with us in spirit.

cuatro krazy

controlled experiment by well over 21 year olds in a safe location after a full meal, nap, paired with water & food and only drinking half of a can of 4 loko. it was still out of control. for the safety of everyone i hope this gets banned soon.

democracy

voted in person for the first time in person- usually having to rely on absentee ballots. it's good to be an american.
