talk about the weather or how the weather used to be

I'm teetering on the balance between simple comforts and extreme winter depression lately.

I bet you didn't think that fence sat between those yards, but it does. There's a fine line of difference between coming home every night to make dinner with wonderful boy and roomates and coming home every night and falling asleep at 7:30.

The key issue, however, is that I'm extremely reluctant to leave The Derby at all lately. Our home is a nest of unexplored music and movies, plentiful delicious food, cable television, and fresh dramatic interpretations of friends days upon request. Derby girls spend tons of time acting out what happened while other Derbs were not present. It's awesome.

In order to prevent this winter becoming another drunk-in-the-bathtub winter, I want to throw parties. I want to throw book-reading parties where we sit around and listen to records and read our books together. I want everyone to come over in thier cozy clothes to dance around the livingroom. I want the masses to come streaming in late saturday morning for coffee and cartoons.

Wanna come over? If you leave your house, I promise I'll leave mine. Eventually.

What's the protocol for unannounced stop-ins? I walk by or near the Derby on a pretty regular basis, but I always feel weird knocking on the door.

Count me in, and consider the invitation reciprocated. My place is a lot smaller, and there's no cable TV, but I have lots and lots of good books, and there'll be hot pumpkin date bread cooling on the window sill.

You should come to Crafty Girlie Afternoon, held this week at Stace Dayment's. It's cozy and wonderful and lifts spirits like you wouldn't believe. Email me, or her, if'n you wanna!
