a lovely holiday

i did not apply a stitch of make-up.
i ate the majority of the german pancakes i made with ali this morning.
i took a nap.
i called my momma.
i caught up on "once upon a time" {thanks dvr-- how did i ever survive without you??}.
i showered late in the evening.
i changed my sheets and did laundry.
i packed for germany {countdown: 11 days}

but most importantly, i read and read and read.

a nicholas sparks novel, in fact. my first. the lucky one. 
i was commanded to read it by my mother. thus far, i like it. i'm anxious when i read it.
which, did you know they're making it into a movie?





i do enjoy reading. it is such a simple and easy way to vicariously fall in love, all without screwing up your personal life.
