back from the dead
I was at the cash register ringing up a woman with 3 starbucks cards in tow. I combined all of the cards into one. She now has about $30 worth of starbucks buying power in one piece of plastic. She added, "My mother-in-law just died, and we found these cards in her wallet. My husband wouldn't touch them, but i figured his mom would have wanted to treat us to coffee."

I guess i can't argue with that.

Well then, on that note, this is indeed the first blog entry since late October. A resurrection, of sorts.

A number of things have happened since then--Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, namely. But I also turned 22 in new york, magically ended up with a free plane ticket to celebrate my 23rd birthday in the big apple, saw 2 friends get married, and learned how to put my heart back together. I think those beat Halloween candy hands down. Except maybe Baby Ruth. ha.

Yesterday
Around the time of my last posting in October, i was on Victor's bike and was fearful of so many things. i got back on Victor's motorcycle and had the time of my life yesterday. I hope this time, i can remember how to live with wreckless abandon. Seems to be something i have to relearn each year.
