Birthday revisited

Was sifting through pictures and found this one of my birthday. Aren't these friends the best?



I miss our volleyball games and all the smack-talking and bickering. :)

California girl

I've moved back!

Actually, I really have no (semi-)permanent home for the moment. About a third of my stuff is still in NYC (car included), about a third is in Ann Arbor (fabulous bed included), and the rest is with me in CA. I am literally all over the country.

At the moment, I'm enjoying being fed by my parents again and am going through all of my middle school to college clothing to make some room for an updated and perhaps more chic wardrobe? (one tends to hope) Quite a few items are going to the Salvation Army. Some memorable items such as a white sweatshirt that I puffy-painted a bumblebee on (probably grade school - middle school level) are staying in my closet. I can't bear to part with that gem. My lovely senior prom dress, which I contend is STILL lovely, is also staying, along with the matching wrap that I will probably never wear again. But the memories!! I also tossed a table centerpiece that I had nabbed from prom. Wow, I had that for 10 years! About time I let that go. I am also contemplating taking down the pictures of hot celebs that I put up on my wall during high school and my 1994 poster of the USA Olympic Women's basketball team with autographs (who am I kidding, that's staying up).

It's odd to think that I've been away for 5+ years. It doesn't sound that long, and before I came back, it certainly didn't seem that long! But now I realize that I'm going to be experiencing a very sunny December for the first time in 5 years. The beautiful weather is weirding me out a bit. It has snowed in both MI and NY, and I have to admit that I really love the first snow and wish I were there to experience it. But oh boy will I love not having to lug around a huge coat with me wherever I go!
