happy valentine's day!

sorry i've been MIA. it's not because i moved far away and forgot all about you. rather, i miss you very much. i've been kinda busy. mostly trying to convince myself that i live here and i'm not on vacation here. when my furniture arrived it sorta helped it sink in. i don't know about you, but i don't often take my couch on vacation with me.

in addition to the library card and dominic's (think wegman's, but smaller (i.e. less intimidating) and with better music and way more booze) club card i now also have a salon and hair stylist. this is very important and something that i was worried about. no one likes breaking in a new doctor, but it's even more scary to have to let someone have control over what you're going to look like. i konw that sounds vain, but i don't care. regardless, i am thrilled to report that britney from OK is way better that just ok. i don't know what she did, but she has completely erased any desire i had to go back to being a redhead. plus, it's kinda cute that harlee and i now have the same color hair. what's that about owners eventually looking like their pets?

also, here is the cutest picture ever taken that does not involve mini-versions of my friends:
