the day i ran a mile with your heart in my hand

[daitheflu]

there are some kids writing really beautiful ljs all the time and i am glad for it, even though i can no longer do the same. maybe when i get to another life level. in the meantime, i thank those of you who have been encouraging about grad school. it must be, and so it shall. i am going to stop asking life to give me a break because life apparently has a hearing problem and i am tired of screaming at the top of my lungs.

this weekend j and i are going to his cousin's wedding in santa barbara. i had nothing to wear in either of my closets, so elizabeth saved the day by giving up a gorgeous peach and white strapless seersucker dress with a bow around the waist. very charlotte on sex and the city. i loved the dress, but none of my 80 pairs of shoes really worked with it. unbelievable, you say, but my wardrobe is not normally geared towards an outfit that says "summering on martha's vineyard" quite so loudly. so i ran to target on my lunch today and found a gorgeous pair of knock-off ballet flats that are divine and will go marvelously. they were $10 and now i will not tower over j at the wedding, which i am sure he appreciates. life is ok. seersucker is sexy.

i need a nap. coffee will keep me upright, i hope.
