So Friday night I was at a wedding (what is going on lately? In the past two weeks I have had three friends get engaged and one get married. This is “way extreme,” to borrow from the high school classic, “Clueless”.), and I saw this random girl walking around, and she was tall and thin, […]

Today I went to the ballet. It was pretty fabulous. The Cincinnati Ballet company is really good. I saw Cinderella…it’s my favorite story ever! I loved it, my favorite part was when she dances with the broom. Poor Cinderella!
Then I filled in the remainder of the day with homework, baking cookies, and calling a friend […]

…I really like her. A lot. She had some good things to say. And some fabulous perfume. Here’s some of the things she said. The first one is my personal favorite.
“Adornment is never anything except a reflection of the heart.”
“Elegance is refusal. ”
“One can be over-dressed, but one can never be over-elegant.”
“Good taste ruins certain […]

The leafless trees looked like lace had been draped over them, the pine trees like green feathers with white fringe. The street lamps showed […]

The tiny world spins on and on
upon a gossamer string of stars;
a cosmic superball for the gods
erratically bouncing back and forth.
A wild ride with highs and lows
like an earthquake rocks my world,
shakes my dishes from their shelves
and shifts the furniture in the rooms of my life.
Uncertainty unsettles me
and on the floor surrounded by
the disordered remains […]

What are your favorite smells? Here are mine:
-Apples. Not apple cinnamon, not apple pie, not baked apple spice. Just plain apples.
-Freshly ground coffee.
-Laundry. My favorite place to do homework– if it is a reading assignment– is sitting on top of my dryer while it runs and makes the whole basement smell like dryer sheets. There […]
