tenacious L in 'the post of destiny'

so one day i was procrastinating at work, and stumbled onto a post of assortment i had written way back on may 20, 2005, before nathan and i had even begun dating. the following is an excerpt...


did you know: its impossible to be best friends with a guy forever unless you marry him.

little did i know at the time that exactly one year later, to the day, i would marry my best friend.

fancy that?

checking it twice

my mind is an incessant scurry of little thoughts. let me pay tribute to my friend mike and his list-infatuated blog.

:what i should do before christmas:

:finish writing my wedding thank you cards... (6 months behind and counting...)
:buy, write, and send christmas cards to lawyers associated with my company

:book an eye appointment
:book a doctor's appointment
:clean eekum's litter box
:drive our car around anxiously everyday until it proves itself again (...or until we can get a new one)
:fill our shoebox for samaritan's purse (is it too late?)
:finish making greeting cards for the artisan sale at church
