i stayed up late last night.

but in my breakfast cereal box all i found was breakfast cereal*

*(in case you're not profiecient in children's literature, that's from the part of alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day where everyone gets a race car in their breakfast cereal box except alexander. hence the very bad day.)

back from snowcation.

celebrated with a now-somewhat-rare-dirty-bathroom-mirror-selfie.

then i got off the bus in cohi only to slip and fall on an iced over snowbank in front of a huge group of people waiting to cross the street. don't worry, i recovered gracefully with a, "careful, it's just a little bit slippery."

today's adventures in babysitting.

it's like sitting on the ground. 

only i'm actually sitting on a park bench. 

still.

snowed in and painting. 

i am snowed in.

and i feel claustrophobic. so i made cookies.

the more sprinkles, the better. 

to live intentionally.

stating intentions, setting goals and impersonating maids of honor. 

because virginia is for lovers. 

i'm turning into my father.

i don't leave home without a bottle of "poofy water," i keep my protein bars in the butter section of the fridge, and i'm rocking two computers at once. 

next thing you know i'll start spending three hours a day at the gym. hahaha, yeah right. 

a kid asked if siri was my narrator.

and i spent all of nap time playing with water colors and then made this display in the teachers lounge. 

trader hoes.

literally in a line right now to get into trader joes. 

that's right. to get into. 

oh deer.

spotted on the way home from work

xoxo,

gossip squirrel

new year, same me.

just ran into not one, but TWO friendsies at mass shortly after arriving back in the district. feeling joyful in all the small and most wonderful ways. 

^ridiculous prune selfie I took last week while sitting on the floor of my childhood bedroom and listening to the biebs on loop. i had no other options on my camera roll and is it really a blog post if there aren't any photos? you're welcome, world. and yes, the glitter stenciled butterflies seemed like a great idea when i was ten and i have no ragrats.
