Nothing but sunshine

Taken in Tanzania, Massai Warrior Village, Spring 2004

I wish I was chilling in the sun on my front stoop. This kid seems pretty into it at least. Today I feel like screaming and ripping all my hair out. I wanted to cook dinner and relax but there's not much to cook so I think that means eating leftovers while I run around and clean the apartment.

I think the most fun I've ever had was college, having nothing to do at 1 pm and just sitting on grass somewhere pretending to look nonchalant while I read a book that was appropriately deep.

I've been trying to decide what to do with my income tax refund. Given my penchant for buying myself presents you'd think the answer would be clear. There's the tiny little problem of my massive debt so maybe I'll try to spread it around a little.

I'm going to be collecting images of what I'd like to buy and posting them here. Maybe I'll put them all in a hat and see what I get. Grab bag of wonder

Moms

(taken by me in Vietnam, Spring 2004)

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by the idea of not having the safety net of a mother. The world is a tough tough place and when you can't rest your head on your mothers shoulder what do you do?
