I just sent off my passport for renewal. Even though I haven't used it as much as I'd like, I've loved having it on hand, knowing that if work wanted to send me to one of our field offices I'd be good to go.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, I'm sure you could draw something beautiful enough for your mother, and not just because she's your mother.
I'm thinking of giving CJ a passport for his 18th birthday. Right of passage kind of thing. Is that totally dorky?
That's a super sweet idea! Especially because there actually aren't all that many things that change when you turn 18.
Saw my dad, sold (and bought) some books, got a haircut, am now exhausted. I think it's because the haircut was so relaxing. So I'm watching Drumline for naptime.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Calli - that is why I want to get a new passport. Just in case. Which is what got me thinking about one for CJ. K-Bug had one but I bet it has expired...hers was a kid passport and I think those are only good for 5 years.
I have NO plans this weekend, just kicking around alone for the three days. Today I'm working on fundraising stuff for the search and rescue team. Tomorrow I'm trying to plan brunch with K. Beyond that? I should be cleaning up the house but I'm full of meh. At least the dishwasher is running?

Because books.
I think it's a great gift, Suzi. Full of possibility.
I turned on the TV and Rocky II was on, and I'm charmed by how sweet it is. I haven't seen this movie in years and years.

I've had my car a year and a day, and I just broke 3000 miles! And the first 30 weren't me.
Eat some dinner, do my nails.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I miss those mileage days... I still don't drive nearly as much as I did growing up. Closer to 8k than 40k. But the years of annual oil changing were sweet.

I have unread books but all I want to do is reread things. I'm scanning my shelves for likely candidates. I have a half read book and two unread ones Right Here. But my brain is uninterested.

I realized half the reason I haven't gotten a new library card since I moved in December is that most of the time, I can only deal with re-reading, so I'm not needing new stuff the way I usually do.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, I am so glad to hear someone else say that. I have new books--stacks of them. And I keep reaching for the familiars. I don't seem to track well enough to retain new material when I'm tired. I can't believe how much new stuff I used to devour.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
All I have to do is hear a phrase that makes me think of a book, and I want to re-read it. Seriously. Or a song. Dusty Springfield makes me want to re-read Welcome to Temptation for the bajillionth time.
