| every year of my life that goes by, i think of where i've come.
what has changed...what is stagnant...what is thriving... where improvements should be made.
spring brings it on.
so much is better than a year ago. so much.
we own a better house. we are more financially stable. i enjoy my job so much more. i have a more active social life, a happier home life...
and yet...
eh, why complain.

| It's 5:30 am. I've been awake for an hour. I'm just too freaking excited.
In 25 hours, I'll be arriving in Paris.
!
New corners have been turned. And I haven't felt this alive since I was 18.

| our former neighbor, hope schreiner, was convicted of second-degree
murder last friday, close to two years after killing her husband. j nearly had to testify. he was interviewed by
the defense, subpeoned by the prosecution, had to go to the court house for an entire day and sweat it out, not knowing if his name was going to be called or not...thankfully that whole ordeal is over and now justice has been served and hope is in jail. it was on courttv, which made the whole experience all the more surreal.
my new job is going wonderfully... i'm cooking so many different types of food, while continuing to bake and learning about ingredients i've never worked with before. i enjoy the people i work with, my commute is really nice, and my bosses actually have the communication skills to discuss things that could be improved in an adult manner with no hard feelings, something that was decidedly lacking in my last job. the only drawback at all is that i get home later than j is used to, so he has less time with me, so he's unhappy. i hope he can adjust.
exactly one week from now, i will be checking in to a hotel in paris, soon to be strolling the seine, taking in a museum or five, wasting away hours in cafes... as long as these student protests don't become an issue. we meet up with an old friend in paris on palm sunday, then the three of us take a train to amsterdam and meet up with three more friends for a week of total debauchery. i really, really need this. i can't believe it's almost here.
