An Ode to Carpool Julie

Twas just one year ago, we were saving the city of Chicago from juicy bits of air pollution. *sob* But fall is more than just Fatty little treats and slow rock mix cds, its a time for a new start. Some may not agree when all the foilage around them is turning and crumpling into a mess, but its true. you can look it up. Thanks, Julie. :) You're right, I'll do it even if it's not perfect.

My name is Melisa & I have 900+ Bookmarks

Well, yeah, some of them are work related. . . . . like 5 or so. This means I must expel and clean house (for my own sanity).

What do you do w/ a Postcard Book?



Send a lot of postcards I guess. Paul Frank makes me want to go out and make friends w/ 30 new ppl who share my love for snail mail. Love is the New Black is the new this.

Longing for a trip. . .

Hong Kong

Denver


Portland

I'm way overdue for a mini vacation. or even a full-sized one. Top 5 places I am longing to return to at the present moment (& in order): Hong Kong, Seattle, NYC, Portland, and Denver. So to cheer me up, I dug around in the TTV dust toy box (a discovery that brought me close to fainting w/ delight) and played with some of my photos.

Reading spells FUN!

I'm stalling to finish this book because i like it so much. The wonderful title, cover, and color choices (i un-characteristically bought pink) are just the tip of the iceberg. Her writing style makes mine look a little less haphazard -- and is therefore inspiring. I love how everything she writes about seems profound and absolute. The book has a wonderful site that is not to be overlooked. If someone has painstakingly taken the time to write and erase a continuous message on their kitchen appliances, for god sakes, i will take the time to read it.....all the way through, of course. with no cheating. And i also think i want to quit my job, lock myself in a room and complete all 68 of the Learning to Love You More assignments. (Although most would require leaving said room, so i may have to re-consider the rules)
