Nice things! Do you know where you will be traveling abroad yet, or just that you will definitely be traveling abroad?
ReplyDeleteabroad... ?
ReplyDeletePenny and Noël - Either Australia or Germany will be the center of the being-abroad.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Australia or Germany! Short or long trip, do you know?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the Hunger Games yet; I decided to watch the movie first so that I wouldn't know what it was missing. I thought it was a really terrible, in a good way, and very well done.
Jenica - Long! I intend to stay in place for a good part of the time, settle down a bit, ideally work as well. With regard to THG, that's exactly what I decided to do, and I'm glad I did, very glad...
ReplyDeleteoh good, someone else (Jenica! Holly!) who is waiting to read HG. I want to see the movie first too.
ReplyDeleteI like your list. I miss things like banana bread. (darn allergies).
Darn button just erased a paragraph. I miss typewriters!!!
And I didn't mean to publish just then. Maybe goons have control of my computer...anyways, so glad to hear you sound like you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteSL - Aw, banana bread deprivation? That saddens me. Yes, I am well. :)
ReplyDeletehand-me-downs from friends. *pumps air, takes credit, assumes because I'm self-centered*
ReplyDeletebanana bread! one of my boy roommates made chocolate banana bread recently. freaking. amazing. (I'm so glad I eat non-vegan baked goods now. <_<)
honest sharp conversations sound lovely.
COME VISIT ME!
flat platform sandals. hm, I don't think I've owned a pair in years! :)
sui - but it is about you :) chocolate as in chocolate chip? mmm...my mom didn't believe me about that being good.
ReplyDeletecacao nibs, and chocolate chip inside.. I THINK. I don't know! I don't like melted chocolate actually. I like it crunchy. but definitely there was cocoa powder in the general banana bread-ish part, you know?
ReplyDeletesui - that sounds very clever. i may need to try a half-sized loaf that way.
