beware of the disjointedness in this blog!

i wonder: did the erratic weather yesterday mirror my mood or cause the swings?

2 ways to tell that i consider you a good friend:
#1) i've washed dishes at your place
#2) i've fallen asleep on your couch

those, of course, are NOT what i think of our friendship or why we're friends, just the effects of constant sleep deprivation and the expression of one of my gifts (yes, dishwashing is one of my gifts).

being home for MLK wkend was good. where else can you get bombarded by unadulterated comments about your weight or single status? unadulterated... BUT where else can you get a caring, warm hand placed on your face at 4am after you've had a coughing fit? my parents love me.

this is NOT a flattering picture of any of us, but i love that it captures one of my family's greatest traditions - going out for TexMex + margaritas. Pappasito's is sooooo yummy! my brother's hair is crazy.

my bro & i are really different, but i love his creative ability to make me laugh. that's him @ Halloween (on the left)- he's dressed as Kim Jong Il!
