Snow

Because this year I am getting a lot of it.
Because it gets quiet when it falls
Because you have to move in closer
Because when you come in from it you are warm and cold
Because it makes everything look like a cathedral
Because you can play in it
Because it's beautiful.


Snow. I love you.

because he wrote gorgeous music

because he was a true artist

because he could Imagine

because he did a bed in for peace

because he moved and moves us

Because of


"Curiouser and curiouser!"


"Who are you?"
"I hardly know, Sir, just at present - at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."

"Twinkle, Twinkle little bat, How I wonder where you're at!"

"Why, they're only a pack of cards, after all. I needn't be afraid of them!"


"Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you won't you, won't you join the dance?"

"Soo-oop of the e-e-evening, Beautiful, beauti-FUL SOUP!"

"Twas brillig and the slithy tove
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe"


"The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking clost at hand
They wept like anything to see
Such quantaties of sand."

Mmmm. The skin.
Mmmm. The gravy.
Mmmm. The chicken-y goodness.

Yes. It's the family joke. Yes. I know. Ha ha. The girl who loves Beluga Caviar salivates at the mere mention of St. Hubert Chicken.

I heart them and their kick-ass coolness.

I like the fact that I can make fluffy french toast or a healthy sandwich by reaching into one bag.

I'd like to think that it's true love between the slices of wheat and white.

I'd like to think of me and my guy as an "unlikely twosome".

The perfect slice are the swirly half slices in the middle of the loaf!

Go Trader Joe's!
