A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself. B. Tag seven people to do the same. C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it." 1. I own too many jackets and coats for a girl in Southern California. I guess I just like winter style. Once, our coat rack, weighed down mostly by my collection, toppled over during a party, and I was so embarrassed I wanted to hide under the gigantic woolly pile. 2. I didn’t know how to flare my nostrils until recently. Thanks to Rama, I learned how to flare my nostrils on demand. It got so bad, or I got so good, that my nostrils sometimes flared without my even trying. 3. My head is littered with white and gray hairs. It has been since I was a teenager, but I didn’t mind until I hit my mid-20s. I used to get red highlights to cover them, but it cost too much to keep it up. I kind of like them, now. I feel wise. 4. I make myself fresh coffee almost every morning, but I hardly ever finish my cup. I think I just like the ritual. 5. I still practice my handwriting, testing out new ways to write the lower-case “a” and my married woman signature. 6. I buy books more quickly than I can read them. 7. I have a collection of recurring dreams. My stock anxiety dreams include losing my car in a parking structure and showing up at class the last day of school only to realize there's a big exam and I haven't been to class all year. On the other hand, I sometimes dream about wandering through lush hills or fields; sometimes, even riding down a hillside river as if it were a water slide. Those are always fun. If I don’t tag someone, do I get bad luck for 10 years?mood: happy new year

 ferris wheel ♥ My 6-year-old nephew Ethan is in the hospital right now. He has suffered damage to his heart (he was born with a heart defect but the cause of this recent damage is unknown), and he will be in the Pediatric ICU until he gets a heart transplant. I cannot imagine being in his position, much less his parents'. After visiting them at the hospital last night, all I could think was, "What else can I do? What would I want somebody to do for me?" But my mind was blank. It's unfathomable to me. Today, I am finding comfort in little things, like a tall iced coffee and a walk to the market. There are always good things to be found, right? good things* Brach's autumn mix. * The Road Home, a sad and lovely film. * My favorite new pencil pouch. * Starting a new moleskine. * Burt's Bee's lip balm. * A perfect bunch of grapes. Rama's enchiladas. * Consolidating our CD collection. * Having Henry around.
