christmas-y

this guy has a Super popular song on the radio. completely over-played, as can be expected. but i like this one

______________________________

i like christmas in albuquerque. not very white, that's true, but it feels pretty christmas-y. mostly because of the luminaria.

this is the view from one of the hospital windows. we haven't made it to old town on christmas eve yet (0 for 2), but i hear it's pretty gorgeous and festive.

in an attempt to be the first one down the hall the other morning, it seems as though eda has turned into a man-eating, girl-tripping monster.
or something.

i have a sprained toe. it sounds crazy, i know.

and it feels worse than it looks.
i had two work two nights in a row after the incident.
it was rough.
somehow i hobbled my way through it.

fun fact: i edited out my toes because it has been many many moons since i have painted them.

books and clubs.

i just joined a book club.
i feel like i should have done this so long ago.
but also i am scared.
how do you do a book club? do you really have to analyze the book? can you just say you like the book or you don't? should i write a book report?
maybe i should cliff notes it just in case?
it's at a coffee shop and not a wine-serving place, so i won't even have a little extra courage to fake my way through some fancy-schmancy scholarly book.
the goldfinch by donna tartt
of course, i chose the meeting with the longest book in history.
it's not until april, so i will have lots of time to read the book and think of really smart things to say about it. and also lots of time to panic about not being able to make friends and how awkward it's going to be.
i think i'm excited.
