...occasionally entertain the thought of going running. and think that when i do, i will enjoy it again.
...can handle city living a little better.
...differently, but still dreadfully miss southern living.
...have been back to tennessee. where i camped on lake nickajack. (a dream fulfilled). and played with olivia in the lake where she finally could fetch two sticks at once. it's cause she's so smart. where i had to promptly exit lake nickajack and rid my feet and calves of teenytinydisgusting leeches. where i got to see margaret anne, gracie, and chuck. where i got to go to rock creek. which is so amazingly good for my soul that there are hardly even words for it. where i saw dave. where i ate my queso at taco mac. where i drove to rising fawn.
...have gotten speeding tickets in five states. resulting in a letter threatening to have my licensed revoked. ::gasp::

...often am found with a fountain ponytail on the top of my head.
...have trouble making "i love" lists.
...spend far too much time on my myspace.
...seriously want a motorcycle.
...look for plane tickets often so that people can come visit.
...am still trying to find homes for those last few things that i've unpacked.
...use my juniper breeze lotion a lot. it has good memories.
...love laying on my sister's bed talking to her.
...listen to a lot of bill and kasey chambers.
...go to bed a little earlier, and wake up a little earlier every day.
...am trying to keep on the sunny side.
