happy birthday Katrina o^_^o

happy 4th birthday to Katrina. you’re sweet and adorable and pretty, and always a little lady… even when playing monkey-in-the-middle, with the exclamations of a four-year-old girl. ;)
strange for me to reminisce your even younger days and realize i’ve known you all their life—i thought only grownups think like that. ...oh, hmm..
happy birthday.

today/yesterday’re poignant days. it’s both days really, not just the one. it’s good-poignant. i don’t want to talk about it yet. i just want to smile for a while.

Busy hbeing

List of things to do gets longer and longer.. even when if keeping p — and especially when not.

how do the next months play out? with hope, anticipation, attention, and adaptability.

side note: Textpattern 1.0 should be out this week?

London or Chincoteague?

Teaching, designing, stuff clearing, grocery shopping, house selling, trip planning, email writing, working, reading, writing, sleeping, eating, hugging, thinking, and all the other *ings
afterthought: Dad would remind me that breathing should clearly be up there on that list..

if a body Catch a body coming through the Rye

I finished Catcher in the Rye the other day… third time I’ve tried to read it. I know it popularly makes me a lacking person somehow, but I just really found the book uninteresting for myself. I mean… I can see what the general appeal must have been to land it as such a remarkable, notable, classroom-essential, teenage-student’s-favorite book.. but… well, maybe timing didn’t work out properly for me to read it and better identify with it.. “well clearly you’ve never been a typical American teenager.” well, .. maybe. or maybe Holden Caulfield just isn’t anything more than what he is to me. Does it matter if I don’t like him?

I liked his little sister.

For that matter, I don’t like Harry Potter or Clark Kent much either. might all of those not be so different?

But I love that this book (and character) means so, so much to so many people. I love that.
