Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm moving past the feeling.

Arcade Fire has a new album coming out on the third of August. The Suburbs.

I have been waiting years for this. I thought my heart was going to stop.

My life has reached near perfection. All that is left is Bear World.

2010 really is the year of the miracle.

What she's doing now

My boots came. Early. Excitement abounds. This prima donna is ready for another rodeo.

You look like money.

I got an electric blanket for Christmas. It is an absolute dream. I can't fathom how I slept without it. My life is basically complete. You know, except for Bear World and such.

Also, Traci gave me these headbands. I love them so much that it hurts. And I know that love is for people and not for things, but that is very difficult to remember when I look at these.

Kimberlyn gave me a ballerina barbie for Christmas. Which is pretty great. Especially after we had this conversation, two days before Christmas:

Kimberlyn: I got you a Christmas present.

Me: You did?

Kimberlyn: Yes, it's a princess barbie. No wait, it's a ballet barbie. Don't tell.

Me: The only person that you aren't supposed to tell is me.

Kimberlyn: Oh...I won't tell you again.

So I got her "Beach Party Ken" for her birthday. She is currently trying to guess what it is. I'll never tell.

And I bought these shoes as a birthday present to myself. Which is tomorrow. My birthday, that is.

I keep my pack together.

I played Parcheesi for the first time last night. I was the tigers.

And I got doubled pounced by Tanner. Two of my tigers sent crying home in on fell swoop.

Also I had a hard time remembering the rolling doubles rules. But Robbie and Tanner were kind enough to remind me. After I had already moved my tigers.

Oh, and the little green guys are yaks. Not wildebeests. Because wildebeests do not live in India.

I always hear about Parcheesi and people playing it. Naturally I was very curious. I didn't even know it was the classic game of India.

So last night was like a fulfilling of a life long dream.
