*I think I'm going to cry. I just lost everything I typed tonight, so here it goes again...

"I need you so much closer." - Death Cab For Cutie

I finally made it through this work week. At least it ended on a positive note - we have heat! My poor sister is without her car (it's in the shop), so I took her some food tonight. I love driving. It's my time to be alone with my favorite music and my thoughts. I've had alot on my mind lately, so the drive really helped clear my head and put me in better spirits. I wish I were closer to my sister. We are nine years apart, so it's been hard to connect over the years. We had another good talk tonight, so that's a step in the right direction.

It would be easier to be closer to people if I wasn't so introverted. I'm a heck of alot better than I used to be, but I still clam up when I get around people. I'm much better with the written word than face-to-face. Speaking of the written word, I plan on doing some writing over this long weekend. My dream has always been to be a writer. I wanted to major in English in college, but everyone in my life discouraged it, so I went the "safe" route and majored in Business. I'm nervous about writing again. I haven't written anything since college. I've got alot of emotional stuff going on inside of me right now, so I'm hoping that writing will give me a release. I'll keep you updated on my progress.

So, today's outfit is a little something I put together on the fly this morning. I was told I looked like spring. I was also called a "hottie." LOL! I'm wearing my "skinny jeans." And by "skinny jeans", I mean the jeans I can only wear when I'm skinny. I know anxiety is not a good way to lose weight, but hey, I'm trying to look at the positive.

The photographer friend and I went to the area around the art center today for a photoshoot. It was a beautiful day, and the sun was casting such pretty shadows. I especially love the tree shadows on the white wall. I found it ironic that I was wearing a necklace called the Artist's Imagination Necklace while we were taking pictures around the art center. I'm posting even more pictures than normal today. I just loved all of them, and I'm horrible at editing.

The song of the day is another one by Death Cab For Cutie, Transatlanticism. I've seen Death Cab 4 times live, and this is my favorite song live. Following on yesterday's theme, it's another song about separated lovers who can't be together. The imagery in this song is so powerful, it could literally be a poem.

Well, I'm going to go to sleep in my WARM bed and dream of distant lands. Good night!
