we were the wear in my favorite shirt.

maria taylor's new album has grown on me more than i had anticipated.
when i read that her and andy lemaster did an album together i was psyched, until i realized it was mainly preexisting songs of hers only done differently. they're a little slower, which is what took some getting used to. i love them now, and the few orginal songs are refreshingly good.
other than savannah drive, i got the conor oberst solo album.
both nancy and jeffrey said they weren't too crazy about it at first, but i instantly loved it.
don't know why.
it's a good cd to take a shower to.

california was very good, very tiring, but very good.
we accomplished everything that we had intended too, and on top of that i got to see geoff almost daily for two weeks.
the entire godfrey family just brings this sort of comfort with them whereever they go. i'm sure i feel so strongly since i've been around them since i was five or six years old, but it's reassuring to know that they are still a part of my life, and that i am a part of theirs.

my apartment got leased out to someone else, so i'm currently apartment hunting. i'm going to check one out tomorrow after work; the building is behind/on the same street as jenna's new building. i really hope that it works out.
i started my new job.
i have a substantial amount of stuff to do at my other job.
i talked to david earle on the phone for a little bit tonight, and shared with him that i feel like i'm becoming a grown ass woman. he told me that ever since he had me in class he knew that i was a grown ass woman. depite his relocation to pensacola and the fact that his cat is still a bitch, it was flattering coming from someone as cool and intelligent as him.

currently, i am babysitting at a house with three angels. the five year old, jesse, says the most precious things.
we were sitting on the couch watching noggin, and she scooted super close to me, so i put my hand on her head and kissed her forehead.
she just looked up at me and said, "i put that from my forehead to my cheek because that's where i keep my kisses." before i put her to bed, she gave me an eskimo kiss and a kiss on my forehead. i said, "thanks, honey!" and her response was, "umm, remember when you used to call me girlfriend?!"
she cut her own hair for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
perfection.
