Got it!

To sum up the day:

- i need to find my knit hats, they have all hidden on me & hence, head cold.

- my ear has been plugged up since approximately 3'o clock this afternoon; not efficient.

- i had 4 cups of tea & 2 cups of some form of chicken soup.

- really cool little known fact: the staff writers at the star trib today did what i believe is called (this is about to be incorrect but...) "a by line strike" (?). At any rate, almost every single article in today's paper pulled the by-line, as a protest of the 30 jobs that will be cut from the Strib. It has not happened in over 10 years, according to one of the strib's former reporters.

- i was suddenly really bothered by the feeling that there is no way shape or form that i can help the haitians (besides praying for them), then was subsequently really bothered that more celebrities don't just drop loads of cash on these people from their private jets.

- small group was fun, glad i went despite my ailments. i talked with people that i don't normally get to have full conversations with (because believe it or not, sometimes I get shy, HA, who knew?). which is awesome, cause i already think they're great, then we have a conversation! great, great people. Try my church.

- chocolate chip cookies a la Libby. Merci, mon amie :)

- my black skinny jeans bit the dust majorly, i'm sort of concerned as to how long that much of my butt was showing...hmmm.

- i also got really bothered by the fact that sometimes i really want to write music, like a song and i have an idea but no words, no tune. just a concept. and i get stuck. and i forget. Ahhh *sigh* music.

- i feel like a scrub, but the prospect of getting out of a hot shower to cold house...

- furnaces rock (except, for the obvious: when they break).

- even when it's cold out, and you're not wearing a hat, and you can't hear out of one ear, and you miss your bus twice, and walk through campus when it's 10 degrees...life is awesome.

- sometimes, i feel crazy.

Lastly, but not leastly...
- i am wondering why i don't heat up my jammies before bed every night. seriously, brilliant. Nothin' like a hot pair of pants.
