Keeping a Break
dessert
This past week has been lots of fun. I have started re-reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, seen Tangled and Skyline (possibly best and worst movie of the year respectively, haha), played eukre and Scrabble and Taboo with friends and family, eaten countless slices of delicious pumpkin bread, enjoyed being on four sets at IHOP, beaten several songs on Guitar Hero, and slept almost 12 hours of any given day. It is a wonderful life—and I am indeed hoping for a white Christmas.
Tomorrow I start working again, and suddenly the hours of the day will shorten into minutes. I will be sleep deprived and intensely driven, full of ideas, and never quiet. But I hope that somehow the little bit of “quiet” I have enjoyed in my soul the last four days will last me until Christmas break.
Amen.

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here
and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Outstanding work!
Thanks for the kind comments! I’m using a theme made available through WordPress, actually. It’s called Monochrome, and it’s designed by mono-lab. I loved their simplicity, too—makes it easy for text and images to stand on their own two feet, without cluttering the space (or the mind). My thoughts flow easily in their design 🙂
