i eat shoes for breakfast

today it actually felt like halloween! randomly, this afternoon i was craving skittles like no other. i don't think i've eaten a single skittle since at least middle school, let alone indulged on any other pure candy bar item, which is pretty sad. so, during a break in our design lab this afternoon, amanda and i skipped down (quite literally) to the vending machines with our one dollar bills in hand. amanda decided on peanut m&m's, of which i approved, and i pushed the buttons of my skittles choice... resulting in not 1 but 2 shiny red bags dropping down! the only other time that candy has made me that happy (and too-many-sweets sick) is on childhood halloweens. i just finished up making real gourmet stovetop popcorn and reminiscing with the roomies about the brightly colored, syrup-covered popcorn balls that they used to sell for halloween in grocery stores. so difficult to eat, but so so cool.

even though i am saying goodbye to another pair of shoes (below), i feel a fresh start coming on as i look forward to the future of a possible job THAT PAYS with the conversational english tutoring program, my trips to guatemala this winter and china this summer, YAYA SO EXCITED, and tonight's sleep.



apparently, my left foot is made of lead (refer to previous picture of destroyed flip-flop WITH HOLE IN LEFT HEEL)! why can't i walk? please help.

this week in music = the postal service and johnny cash
