one of my clients just happily said in passing,
"Anytime you wake up in the morning and you can walk, it's a good morning."
in spite of many things, i really am glad i'm working here right now.
in the spirit of said gladness + holiday time i thought of making a list of things i'm glad about but really at the moment i'm more interested in making a resolution list because i'm in the mood for a good laugh so here goes:

si quieres, puedo aduyarte con 7, 13, 25, 28, y 31 :)
sounds like good stuff!
If I were to summarize, it'd be
-stop beating myself up for being who I am
-do some things now instead of waiting till later
That's good stuff! I also want to visit the pacific northwest in 07. I think Jeremy and I are going to go before the end of the year.
If you need help with banning Christmas shoes, let me know.
-Road trip to DC...come see me!
-You still haven't gone to Raven Rock.
-Let's do Ridiculous NYC trip part 2!!!
LOVE YOU!
