winner, winner

it must have been a lucky day today. i spent the day with mumma, running errands and thrifting. as she signaled and turned left into the goodwill, i wasn't far from sitting in the car but i was determined to be in a good mood, so reluctantly, i shlept into the store. winner winner, chicken dinner! not only was the rainy day full of smiles and laughs with my favorite woman, mumma, but i also found some spectacular thrifts. a navy quilted jacket, fantastic lightly used laced leather shoes from polo and two sundresses. and as the rain came, i made a call to a close family friend. with her help and support a paying job is in the works for this summer. 

1287 squares

my weekly to-do list, which at school consists of 10 times tops and is taped to my closet, has been growing. each time i cross one thing off i find my self adding another 2 or 3. when i should be finding a second summer job or tackling the mound of paperwork for my anthropological independent study as well as planning the documentary that will accompany it or even just unpacking my room, i look for everything and anything else to do. one thing on my list, that i have been diligently working on is my quilt. inspired by l.l. bean, i bought the fabrics last summer but only seriously began it this past spring. 143 nine by nine squares, or 1,287 individual squares, eventually with a boarder and trim, but for now just a work in progress. as my mind continues to flood with thoughts of a lake side cabin, nestled in a pine grove on a mountain in vermont or alberta, ideally i'll have completed it in time to move into my ocean side cabin with a. only a few more weeks before we'll be laying on the rocks, cuddled on the sofa and collecting footage for the film. so much to do on this summer vacation, perhaps i should have gotten a head start?!

forgotten.

i seem to have forgotten my blog in the last year. i seem to have forgotten most all of my writing. it's been a hectic year: 6 roommates, new friends, old friends, photography editor for the chronicle, work study, classes, old loves, a new love and a trip to Toronto. it's been nothing less than challenging but in the end i've loved all of it. now, i'm picking up my pen and resting my hands on the keys, ready to write and share the exciting adventures that are planned and unplanned for my 20th summer.
first, let me recap..
