quiet
November 16, 2005What is it about these autumn months that has kept me so quiet? Maybe it’s the weather—the coolness that inspires cups of tea and a good book. Maybe it’s the festivities that surround this time of year—the baby showers, the birthday celebrations, the holidays that keep me driving all around town. Or maybe I’m just getting shy in my older age. I don’t like to talk as much as I used to.
Whatever the reason, I decided today I’d speak up. I’d say hi.
So, hi.
I’m drinking a cup of afternoon coffee and printing holiday cards. It’s 80-something degrees out, but I’ve got Christmas on the brain. I’ve already gotten a stash of gifts beneath my desk and a list of more to buy. It seems soon, I know, but a week from tomorrow is Thanskgiving, and we all know how Christmas always sneaks up right after that. This year, I’m gonna be ready when it does.
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
Hee hee – I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the HOT – not warm – weather around the holidays in California.
Hi yourself. ;)
It’s actually been cold here, which is making it easier to think about my own holiday cards. But still, cold! buhhh
hello!
sorry i missed you in LA:(
i just peeked at your shirts and i love. must have. will put on my x-mas list!
wamr christmas? i don’t know if i could deal with that.i think that winter in seattle is simply made for coffee and reading. maybe you should visit?
i just read your journal so i wanted to say hello and that i feel this strange anticipation for christmas as well. its a sneaky thing, it always comes so much quicker than you think it would but it never is as much of a deal as you think it will be. funny how that works….
I’ve re-read Narnia too, getting ready before the movie goes out. I can’t wait for Christmas because this time, I’m spending it with my family back home in PH. I’m counting the days!! :)

(If not, and I’m wrong, Happy Eventual Birthday.)
