They always warned me it would happen
I looked in the mirror after doing my hair and makeup for the day and almost threw up

I’ll have to just accept the fact going into 2011 that I am turning into a crazy middle-aged woman.
Regardless, I have about 2 gallons of potent, delicious, homemade sangria and a couple of great friends to ring in the new year tonight. Bring it on,...
Welcome, 2011!
Somehow, some way, every year gets better than the last. Even when it’s bad, there’s another day for it to be better. 365 of them, in fact.

home, sort of home.
I miss my friends from high school. I was fully relying on not giving a large portion of them a second thought after I left. Right now, part of me almost needs to run into them somewhere in town and give them a hug and catch up.
but we’re all in such a god damn hurry.

tonight was good.
Drunk enough to forget my sweater was button-up instead of snap-on and two buttons came off in my quest to pull it apart. Sober enough to competently make food for my children of Allston.
