hi there ~ hope everyone’s holidays were great. as always, i’m just getting used to writing and thinking 2004, and now 2005 is just four days away!

hey there ~

i was getting a little blue on tuesday night – no tree, no clean clothing, and a really messy apartment. just a few hours later, all that changed. a sweet friend bought me a little tree (yes, it’s only a bit bigger than my cat, or my computer.. 2’4” of sweet ‘noble fir’) and gave me a bunch of quarters for the basement washing machine and dryer (as well as accompanying me downstairs, which has suddenly grown scarier with formerly mesh-covered big holes in the walls now with broken mesh lying around in tatters. shiver).

on november 12, 2004 this beautiful baby was born – two days later, on the fourteenth, my sister and her husband were called saying there was a baby ready to be adopted.
