i share at least one thing in common with the lovely ellen - we kinda love the old school bookstore in my neighborhood. said bookstore is 4 blocks from my apartment and you can find me there every saturday and sunday with a cup of tea and a stack of reading - you know, weekend homework. ellen lives two hours away and let’s just say she’s the sharp one and the taller one from what i can tell. all of that, and she just tipped me off that this guy will be at my bookstore this weekend! guess where i will be at 4 o’clock on saturday? tough call when you’re not sure if you have a bigger crush on a cute, funny guy or his cute, witty fiance.
What a better first meeting with Maura than one that involves swooning over JK in the flesh? (I’m still upset that he’s engaged…)

There just aren’t words.
My friend Neil calls me “Needles” and I’m apparently in his contacts listed as such. He also sends me lots of “Nerd shit” that I like. I win on all accounts.

How I Met Your Mother
- Barney: I don't know what Ted sees in that horrible woman
- Lily: I think it's because they met in high school and she was his first real girlfriend
- Marshall: We look at Karen and think she's a jerk
- Marshall: Ted looks at Karen and sees the first person to touch his wiener besides himself, his mom and his pediatrician.
Graceful Exit
This, these words by Ellen Goodman, is a perfect conclusion to my brief trip into the past and a good reminder as I start down a different path, again, and again:
There’s a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity or its past importance in our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry and that we are moving on, rather than out. (via beautifulordinaire)
