i think today that i am experiencing some sort of weird spoke in my hormonal cycle. i am unusually weepy, but not in a sad woe am i sort of way, rather in a ohmygod this is so beautiful and i am so thankful for this life and this time that i can’t do anything but cry.

it’s a little embarrassing really. for instance, this morning al, the cutest girl on earth™, seamus, and i were talking about taking pictures of stuff to hang on our walls. seamus and i are gonna take some junk over to al’s (she’s a professional photog) and we’re gonna have a little picture taking party. as i was sitting back at my desk after the little confab, i started getting all mooshy about how damn lucky i am to have coworkers that i adore like that.

and it happened again when maria walked in with a box from Patisserie Margo filled with goodies for Doug’s birthday.

then, just now, i was listening to Kathleen Turner Overdrive, and the Gear Daddies’ song “Time Heals” from the Rock for Karl benefit last year came on, and again with the welling eyes and the swelling throat. i’m not even sure why. maybe because it had been too damn long since i got to dance to that song live. maybe because when i danced i was there with sister #2 and the night was just so much fun. maybe because i am a goober. i’m not even sure why.
