festivus

It's nearly upon us: a festivus for the rest of us....I am suddenly in a festive holiday mood. Do you know why? It's because when I went to make coffee this morning (although I sleepily spilled half of a new can of coffee grounds all over the counter and kitchen floor...grumblingly wiped it ALL up...) As I sat at the kitchen counter, munching on an orange and gazing sleepily into space, I saw this:




How christmas-ey are WE???? How do I love thee, jennifer? Let me count the ways...


The whole incident left me with a giddy kind of feeling that also carried a note of melancholy. I've been thinking about you for the past couple of days. I had a crazy, amnesiac-feeling that when I was sick last weekend, I forgot about paul and am dying to know what happened...also, I know the seventeenth is nearly here. And then, there you were, winking at me from my mother's christmas card rack. Miss you.
