rimmy!

this year i made rimmy a toy for christmas. it was a stuffed heart. he doesn't know what a heart is, but he knows a toy when he sees one, and he always knows when it's for him.

however, though rimmy is a little old guy, there is nothing wrong with his teeth. we'll have to see if i feel like sewing it shut again...

how do you feel?

last night ashley and i watched 'bleu' for her french class, and she showed me this website:

http://wefeelfine.org/

the website features a little applet that tracks everyone whose blog includes 'i feel.'

do you think they'll find my little pink blog? here goes:

i feel like rimmy hears me even though he's deaf

i feel not quite ready to be back at school

i feel like buying something...or lots of things...

i feel like that 15th of the month is always really far away

when i try to speak french, i feel italian wanting to come out instead

i would feel better if i ate a cupcake, but if i ate 10 cupcakes, i would feel terrible

it's amazing to have my license, because i can go to target if i feel like it

how do you feel?

my redesign

i decided to redesign my blog and add more elements so i would be as cool as my cousin charlotte: http://www.charlottermcdonald.blogspot.com

...but none of blogger's templates feel quite right.

what do you guys think?

Good-night! good-night! as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken up thy lamp and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

pax vobiscum

the checks are in the mail

it seems that the economic stimulus package has passed. this is the one and only positive aspect of the bush presidency, apart from the fact that it's almost over. when my $600 arrives, i plan to march right out and do my patriotic duty! i am, undoubtedly, good for the economy. if anyone out there has trouble figuring out how to put their rebate check to its proper civic use, send it my way...

here are some of my ideas. tell me what you think! how are you going to spend yours?

1. the hola y adios entry table from dwr ($600)
2. 3.1 philip lim monet jacket ($595)
3. the portland bed from garnet hill (a bargain at $368! i would have to buy a mattress though)

4. 600 $1 lottery tickets (maybe I'll win!)

5. a tank of gas

two hillarys

it's super tuesday! i went to the polling place for my address (1 block away),only to discover that i can't vote there, and have to vote in central square, inexplicably, where i no longer live. so off i go, in the rain, on the t. it's a hard choice, but i'm voting for hillary.

new running clothes

new running clothes make a big difference! here i am in my shorts from target and my danskin top from tj maxx in biddeford. it cost $2! yay clearance! when my gym clothes are cute, i feel more motivated to work out, and this top shows off my enormous guns!
