I Am Thinking About Buying a Car

And wouldn't  these be nice? The pink one would   be awful actually

in the  Chicago winter, but the yellow one  would be perfect. Look at 

that trunk space! And the yellow color would keep me happy through

the winter glums.

And it's painful. It looks like I'm not lucking out like I used to in getting homes near the train. So maybe I'll get something in a cheaper rent range and spend that extra dough on walking shoes. In the meantime, here's some homes I would like to like in. For $400 a month plz.

Malia's Legs!

These are the American First Daughters that I adore. I never really got it for Chelsea, or the Bush twins, but I love these little girls, and am so proud of them, basically for just existing. I guess Malia's not that little, she's as tall as her mom- unreal. Also- very jealous. My mom is 5'2". I guess it's just  blessing I surpassed her. I was hoping to get to 5'10", but I fell short of that goal by three inches. So, I guess I just want to reiterate the post title- Malia's legs!

I loaded my first cone nine kiln the other day, and it came out beautifully! I am so upset that I am graduating, right as I finally got into the rhythm of working in the ceramics studio. Pish. Tosh. I'm going to be at OxBow for two weeks as a TA though- that's pretty exciting! I am going to hike and canoe and swim and work every single day for two weeks! Last year, I came home with 500 mosquito bites, a tan and minus 15 pounds. Heres some pictures from Oxbow last summer:

The Aforementioned Plants

I bought five plants on Tuesday, instead of going to class!
I need to name them and make a watering chart, so I remember which is which, or rather, who is who.

Cloudy Morning

Sitting drinking my coffee on the 12th floor, shoes off.
Molly came over early, seven am, I showed her how to use my grandma's sewing machine.
I forgot to open the shades to let the light shine on my new plants, but there's not much light anyways.
I don't really understand plants, but it's a wonder anything grows in Chicago.
