Odder and Odder

Two things that happened to me today:

Things I've Spied

Something colorful to add..

I think if I lived near the water all day, I would do nothing else but stare at it. It would take me a month to fly a kite, or read, or eat clam chowder.I think if I lived near the water all day, I would do nothing else but stare at it.

Have fun with architecture.

Nutella has made my mornings sweeter, and fools me into thinking I'm being healthy.

Tempestuous

• thinking of funny songs to belly dance to
• hearing "I'm very particular about what kind of nuts I eat and where I eat them" drift out from another room during a children's puppet show.
• Howl waiting to wake me up until 6:30am with his bell toy.
• the guy behind the counter handing me my sammich before I ask.
