» I dyed and went to secret pal heaven


It’s late, and I really ought to be in bed already, but since I’m in the middle of waiting on a load of laundry to finish so I can throw it into the dryer, I figured I might as well take a few moments to write a quick post. These past two days have been the [...]

» Places I used to call home


I have a confession to make. I am an eavesdropper. I love planting myself in a public place such as a coffee shop and watching people, listening in on their conversations, trying to figure out who they are, what they’re doing, and what their lives are like. My knitting and coffee habits [...]
