Hunger
All I can think about today is food. (steak) I am not sure why I’m so freakin’ hungry, but I am. (spaghetti) Or at least I think I’m hungry. (sushi) I could seriously go raid the work fridge right now and just chow down. (smashed potatoes) Except that a.) none of the food in there is mine and b.) most of it no longer resembles food.

It’s the humbling responsibility of knowing you hold her hopes and dreams and love and life in your hands and your heart.

I love photo booths. Love love love them. There are several issues with this: a.) they are few and far in between these days and b.) they’re usually ungodly expensive.

Hey, look, it’s Nashua!
Okay, I got my states mixed up. Hell, they’re all so small and crammed together up here that it’s no wonder. Today I hit clinics in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. For a Midwest girl, that’s a wonder confined only to road trips with sparing potty breaks. I think we’re going to Connecticut tomorrow, but don’t hold me to it.
