insert sad face here

lesson of the evening: if you don't give a shit, then you can't be hurt

but not giving a shit is easier said than done.

i need a hug. (and a shoulder. and a few tissues.) but really, i need to stop giving a shit about the current state of affairs in the chang+ household (oooh...airing dirty laundry in a public forum?! you wish. i'm just going to be vague enough about things that i'll remember 30 years from now and i look back and say, "tina -- you're stupid for wasting so much time on that nonsense." which is exactly how i wish i could feel right now. but instead, i've wasted the last 2 hours and buckets of tears on someone who... well, actually DOESN'T give a shit. SO WHY DO I???) but is it so wrong to care about the relationships (or lack thereof) in your family? blergh.

in other news, i didn't do a very good job of keeping my blogging resolution.  or the pictures. i mean, i have some more, i just haven't put them up. also, taking a picture a day is hard. or at least taking a MEANINGFUL picture a day is hard, especially when your life is SUPER exciting (boring) like mine.

sunday afternoons = knitting + email + football. too bad football season will soon be over :(

and it's back in the pool we go! so nice & peaceful when the rugrats are gone...why aren't they gone more often?!

chipotle within walking distance of the office = danger danger! 

another rainy, gray, 65 degree january AM. the trees are clearly confused.

points if you know where this is!
dance class w. m.wu & co. was super fun...i just don't have the energy (or dollars) to put into another hobby....

from 65 to 25 (degrees)... definitely a leg warmer kind of day (and evening)
i would never call these "stylish" but they are really VERY practical...

and there you have week 2. two weeks late. look, i never said i was good at this. but in writing this post, at least the waterworks have stopped. THANK goodness. i was getting dehydrated. :)
