Nice to e-meet you! That's internet for Hello. And that's also about as far as I got in planning what to say in this thing...but as a lover of spontaneity and the inability to edit my own words because that would mean actually having an awareness as to the nothingingness that I am about to ramble on about for far too long...I'm just going to go ahead and keep typing. Apparently...

je t'aime

When the person you love decides to take a leap of faith and fulfill all of your romantic hopes that you had started to believe only happened in films, by telling you those three small, but much anticipated words: "I love you"...you really shouldn't respond with "Oh my gosh, don't say that!"













Thank you for loving me despite my inability to ever say the right thing.

beneath the spin light

I always seem to want the things that I can’t have. But worse than that, I’d never admit that I couldn’t’ have any of them. I have an unrealistic view of the world where I think that anything, including the impossible is somehow attainable.

You are my unattainable impossible.

You’ve done something to me that I can’t explain. I’ve never been stricken so suddenly and so sweetly as I have been by you. Every sweet melody that floats in and out of my world reminds me of you. In fact, you now occupy my every thought, despite my resistance and the many consequences that come with any possibility of an ‘us’.

My priorities have changed because of you. I'm not bothered with the normal inconveniences of everyday life. All that I want now is to spend the entire day in bed with you, exactly how you described, until the clouds roll away.
It is thoughts such as these that seem to linger on my mind like eternity. 

I've escaped into your world and there’s nowhere I’d rather be. A world where all of my worries fade away and the obstacles no longer exist. I wish more than anything, that this fantasy place were real and not just locked away within the confines of my heart.

We will never have a flawless, ‘easy’ relationship. I’m sorry, I’m not that lucky. If you should fall for me in return, this is just one of the many flaws that you will have to accept. 

This may be the only time that  I will mention you, but at least just this once, I had to. 

My request is simple.
Please take care of my heart.

Santa Sandwiches

Before Christmas, a friend of mine had invited me to join her in fundraising/making sandwiches that we would then hand out to the homeless. I loved the idea of it, and even more-so, I had recently been calculating my own self naughty vs nice list of 2010 and realized it was a bit slanted toward the latter... this good deed seemed the perfect last minute way of titling it in my favor.













As soon as I got on board, people were already donating a ton. There ended up being a way better turn out than we ever expected, and even had a ton of local bakery's/shops donate bread/food to help out. We had planned on making around 200 sandwiches, but with all the money and items we raised, we ended up having enough to make 1000 sandwiches! 















Not only did we put them all together, but all 90 loaves of bread had to be sliced. Along with the 2 full sized hams. And don't forget all 3 xx large blocks of cheese that needed to be cut.















...I made the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.















More than work, however; it was a super fun day! We even shared a bit of spiked eggnog and snacks during the process.
We drove downtown to The Union Gospel Mission, who kindly offered to help us out, and handed them out (and even had some leftovers). Everyone was so grateful and it was a lovely feeling to know that we were able to give a bit of kindness to some no longer strangers.
















For someone who loves sandwiches, I have a feeling I'll be holding off for a little while.

I hope you all had lovely holidays!
