Self Portrait Tuesday

Creepy.

It's not "all of me," I spared you all that, only neck up.

The funny thing about me, that you may not know, is that I can't stand wet hands. This humorous and grotesque shot is funny to me because my hands always stay out of the water during a bath. That way, I avoid the prunes.

Day 194

prO-cra-sti-nA-shun

I am in front of the computer with only one report card left to go... and I can't bring myself to do it.
Instead, I have found furniture in e-bay, posters of yoga postures, recipes for dinner tonight, and now I have found time to make a quick blog entry.

14 out of 15 aint bad.

Day 193

Concentration I need right now.


Today is a cold and snowy day.
I am trapped in my apartment, looking out the window, trying to focus so that I can write my report cards (due Monday). I have three done. That leaves 12 to go.

Self Portrait Saturday

Day 192

An awesome visit.
Thank you so much to Nina and Kevin for driving out here with the little ones. It was so much fun to have everyone here and to play and eat and laugh and eat and drink and eat. That sums it up.

Day 191

Maryland visit highlights...
Staying near the bay with chilly, chilly weather.

Self Portrait... Thursday

I love candy.
Candy. Candy. Candy.
One pound of gummy candy.
Swedish fish.
Gummy bears.
Sour patch kids.

Day 186

Week-end wine.



Yes, Virginia, I am finally on February vacation.
Deep breath.
Deep glass of wine.

Day 185

The most amazing parents ever... and I don't mean my biological parents, although they are amazing too...
The parents of the kids in my class collectively got together and wrote me a check for $500- the amount of my car insurance deductible.
I was in tears when they gave it to me. It was the most thoughtful and amazing thing ever... I was so touched- and I have never felt more appreciated.
The letter read:
"Dear Emily,
We, the parents, wanted to take this opportunity to show you how much we care and how grateful we are for all your hard work and compassion with our children. We hope this money helps with your car insurance deductible. Cars present an awful burden- We's rather free you up to focus on ants- and other delights.
Please accept our gift and our gratitude. Stay Safe!
Love,
The parents of the K-1"

Are you crying now, too?

Day 184

p.s. If I wasn't miserable enough, I woke up today with hives all over my behind and legs. Not bad... but all day I was itchy... between my toes.
