Mikkel

My favorite part of the past week was a phone call from Mikkel in
Copenhagen on both Christmas Eve and just now for New Years Eve.
Meeting him so randomly on a three hour wait for a flight in Thailand
was absolutely one of the best things to happen to me in 2012. From
his fb messages to his phone calls, his energy and positive attitude
just fill me with more joy than I can possibly express. Smiling big,
all the way into 2013. See you, soon, Mikkel!!!! <3

is it Wednesday, yet?

Sometimes.
All you need is your BFF.

Laughter.

I made it.

He made it.

We made it.



We will shine bright.
Next year.


We will make hearts.

In skies.

Over oceans.

Across Europe.

And back to Thailand.


Because they could never withstand.

Copenhagen.

We will shine.

Happy Holidays!

sometimes, you just have to put away the ring that he gave you
and
look forward to
the next one. 

Peacock & Pineapples will be there on Sunday, December 16th!  Squeeeeeeeeeeee!

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson


I bought a real notebook
bound
with real paper
blank.

and

I used blue ink
and
an unsteady hand
and
wrote down



all of our memories.  



then, cried.

in the shower
and
while washing the dishes. 


and


when that photo of us 
fell on 
my ugly slippers.  

1 year should be easier than 5

One year should be easier than five, but...

we'll eat the dogs
and
fight over flu meds
because
we were born on
the same day.

we'll go to the gym
in the morning
after the holidays
and
have different taste in
television size.

we'll watch sunday morning
for the broadway commercials
but
he'll pretend like he doesn't know
what Once is.

we'll worry about how the
fiscal cliff
will affect our next year
while
arguing over how much
I should charge a designer
for a hat prototype he asked
me to knit.

50k
$50

50 reasons we are not. 

the people who want to stay in your life
will always find a way.
