I like poppies (although I don’t think orange ones exist). Hence the new layout. And, of course, my consistent tendency to appropriate change as a means of ameliorating visual boredom.

This weekend has been a slow one — but I’ve enjoyed at least 3 hours watching the A&E version of Pride & Prejudice (never fear, a mere 4 hours remain until the joyful reunion of our beloved couple) as well as a “date” with my mother on Saturday night. We grilled salmon and had ourselves a regular gourmet feast. Still working incessantly on plans/itinerary for my study abroad in Italy as well as possible travel plans for the next month or so. Conclusion: Money is a necessary evil.
