woke up early, drank a cup of coffee and went back to bed for another couple of hours. 

met up with the lovely aubrey at sunflower market later, wandered around for what had to be at least an hour studying everything and eating all the samples. we had lunch at rePUBlic - i’d never been, but i’m now hooked - and i fell in love with wyders pear cider. i could drink it all day long.
afterwards we went over to whole foods to browse, eat more local samples, and pick up an allegro latte.
i absolutely love allergo coffee in colorado, and am so happy that we now have somewhere in oklahoma that brews it! they absolutely put starbucks - and even caribou coffee - to shame.
i then went to dinner with sarah and my brilliant two-year-old niece. i can’t believe how grown up she is already, and how she understands that hot sauce belongs on everything (even her pancakes).

and i’ve been listening to blood bank by bon iver almost constantly; it soothes my soul this time of year. 

it was really such a wonderful, simple day off…filled with lots of food. and oliver is doing much better, he’s still a bit goofy and not sure how to walk, but should be perfectly fine soon :)

“six am, day after christmas. i throw some clothes on in the dark. the smell of cold, car seat is freezing. the world is sleeping i am, numb.”

this is one of the only songs i feel is justified in being one of an artist’s most popular. 

i am so excited to see him with the oklahoma city philharmonic thursday night, oh my goodness. and sidenote, one of my favorite smells is cold. i hate the feeling of it, but the smell for me is up against coffee and dnky men’s be delicious. mmm.

already almost sick i’m so stressed out about this next semester. well over two of my paychecks worth of books to buy, can only miss two hours in one of my classes, only two periods in another…and it is the middle of winter and i get miserably sick a lot more than that. ugh.

whine whine whine.

"I put on my overcoat and walked into winter
My teeth chattered rhythms
And they were grouped in twos or threes
Like a morse code message was sent from me, to me
Cars on slippery slopes, they’re stuck
People pushing through their mittens
As I was beginning, to feel it soaking through my shoes
Getting colder with every step I took to your apartment, dear"
— I Was a Kaleidoscope by Death Cab for Cutie

If it’s really going to have to be that cold, the first snow of the season best be falling on my birthday.

I have got to stop joking myself. There is a reason everywhere feels more like home than here.

“I’ll be your winter coat, buttoned, zipped straight to the throat
with the collar up so you won’t catch a cold.”
