cogitation.
\ koj-i-TEY-shuhn \ , noun; concerted thought or reflection; meditation; contemplation. the faculty of thinking. a thought; design or plan. I admire those who share their deep cogitations. Even cleverly shallow cogitations are admirable to me. I’m currently in Raleigh, NC with friends from college. It’s freezing cold so we sit by the fire, Aaron brings us hot cocoa, and we laugh along to the jokes we’veContinue reading “cogitation.”
incunabula.
\ in-kyoo-NAB-yuh-luh, ing- \ , noun; the earliest stages or first traces of anything. extantcopies of books produced in the earliest stages (before 1501) of printing from movable Help exchange (working a few hours a day in exchange for housing and food) makes traveling so affordable. I wish I had known about it sooner. I spent less money monthly while I was working my way through New Zealand than I did while living in Asheville. Through help exchange, IContinue reading “incunabula.”
evanesce.
\ ev-uh-NES, EV-uh-nes \ , verb; 1. to disappear gradually; vanish; fade away. 2014 will evanesce in mere hours.

Meet, hug, kiss, and spoil my new nephew and Aaron and Carlee’s lil one!Continue reading “evanesce.”
3×5
It’s a slow, somewhat sunny day at the shop. I’ve been on the floor by myself and that means I have the rare privilege of controlling the iPod (after I bring the stool over to be able to reach). I had Mumford and Sons on repeat for the first couple hours. Then Old Crow MedicineContinue reading “3×5”
boundless joy.
My babysitting gig got canceled this morning. I got some things done that I should have completed a while ago (meaning I watched a few episodes of Ellen that had been waiting for me). Then I threw on my bathing suit, grabbed my old journal, started Audrey Assad Pandora, and sat by the pool withContinue reading “boundless joy.”
high school bet.
Mindy and I couldn’t have had a better time together in high school. We lived those four years full of wonder. We went on adventures that we called Tuesday Treasures, we cherished silly things like a branch from a boy’s front yard or a life size poster of Steven Curtis Chapman. We took road tripsContinue reading “high school bet.”
the right side.
I found this on my phone tonight: Who would’ve known that jerky would’ve been much pricier than an airplane meal! I was very scared to bring any food on the plane this time, so I spent too many hours hungry. My dad left this note for me for when I woke up: I think IContinue reading “the right side.”
home.
After over 35 hours in transit, I made it home! I was one lucky girl to be on the last flight out of Charlotte in a snowstorm. I would’ve been a bit cranky to get so close to home to end up stranded in the snow. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Chickfila, briefly caught up with JohnContinue reading “home.”
four alarms.
I have four different alarms set for the morning because a shuttle is picking me up at 4:20am for my 7:00am flight. It’d be awesome if I could get coffee with each and every one of you, while we split some NZ Whitaker’s chocolate (milk or dark or peanut butter or coconut, oh my!) andContinue reading “four alarms.”
