yellow rain jackets...

...are so fun when they are on kids as cute as emma. today we enjoyed the walk to laurel village and shared a smoothie. spending time with this kid is one of the most wonderful things i do through out my week. note: we have matching red handbags and her rainboots are cooler than mine.

time: as of now.

yesterday:
work sucked.
i watched my favorite movie.

today:
my hair is greasy.
my boss told me she's quitting.

tomorrow:
i get to hang out with emma.
i am going to job hunt.

now:
i feel drained. in this moment.
i can see a lot of life in you, and i think the dress looks nice on you.

four months away.

In about four months, my brother Carter will marry Courtney, who has been around since I was in eighth grade... which means it's been nine plus years! Courtney is the closest thing to a sister that I've ever had, I guess? All this really means is that I have four months to start and finish their blanket. (I started this habit of making blankets for the brothers as they tied the knot... I still haven't even finished Adam and Jenn's!) Yikes.

dosa!

dan quon and i adventured to a south-indian style restaurant tonight... dosa was fabulous. so fabulous that the chronicle rated it in the top ten restaurants of 2006. this is a photo of what i ordered, the paper masala dosa: an exceptionally thin, pliable and crispy variation served with spiced indian potatoes, onions and cashews. it was served with coconut chutney, tomato chutney and sambar, a lentil dipping soup. if you like indian food, make me take you here. also, the wait staff was great and super helpful, and the prices were just right. dosasf.com

@ coffee cat

i recommend: rosie thomas' "these friends of mine" ...though it is a short almost thirty three minutes, the sounds of rosie, sufjan and dennison combined make an incredible noise, and not a negative noise, only a positive noise. should i have even used the word noise?

i have been experiencing a new set of feelings and thoughts as of late. sometimes i have no words to explain them and sometimes my words are too simple to even share.

does anyone else think it sounds like brandi carlile is saying "emily" in her song, "happy"? too bad it's "amber lee."

spent last night with my dad; so good to see him. weird to refer to him as my "dad"-- he is papa. anyway, we haven't seen each other since before christmas. sushi dinner, good conversation and one of the people that i am the most comfortable with... love it.

you pick a title.

saw a musical on saturday: jersey boys. enjoyed the story of frankie valli and the four seasons. followed by morton's. have you ever been to morton's? i was not a cheap date; thanks parents.

bridal showers, baby showers, vegas, weddings, san diego, nephews; this summer is going to be insane.

looking forward to: sleep over with lori. dinner with my dad. wednesday night surprise. thursday morning coffee.

note to self: leaving work early is not always a good idea.

lovely.

have you ever not had an agenda? not had a plan? just breathed and walked and enjoyed the loveliness that is life? i don't really do that much. i did it this weekend. i feel rejuvinated in a whole new way.

i'm listening to the 3.2.7 playlist. at thirty songs and two hours exactly, i'm taken to a place with one awkward transition ('fever dream' to 'places i already know'), but filled with the feeling of being comfortable.

today's great moment: leslie and kathryn laughing in my room.
