When the majority of people you see from day to day are between the ages of 15 months and 3 years, the world becomes slightly skewed. I'm begining to pick up their behaviors and have started responding to things in the negative.
Here's a sampling of what I hear:
Bella: Nonononononononono!
Lizzy: I do NOT want to do _____.
Kylie: Waaaa! Nono.
Maranda: No. I don't like that.
Today I know I should inconvenience myself and go Back to PSU DARS office and explain exactly where the ball got dropped yesterday and exactly what I need done, but I am tired (and tired of PSU offices) and I do NOT want to drive downtown, pay for parking, and talk to people who do not pay enough attention to get it right the first time.
Nononono.

One Month
As of Tuesday, Josh and I have been married for a whole month now. It sounds so short, but each week feels like a month (hey sort of like Capernwray) with all the things we've had to do, learn and figure out. Incidentally, we spent our one month anniversary in court. Or rather, I did - I had to serve jury duty for the first time. I've been putting it off for four years so I figured I'd just get it done. (It wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be, btw.)
I had thought about writing a post about different things we like/have learned, etc, in our month of being married (people ask us about that all the time - such a pointless question, really - as if we're really going to sit down and tell you about it), but as I was thinking about it that night, I realized my favorite thing - something that sort of sums up why I'm glad we've been married, even if only for a month: standing in the bedroom door brushing my teeth, talking theology and philosophy of God (are they the same thing?) with Josh. I also love that I was brushing with all natural toothpaste from Trader Joe's (we're addicted - to TJ's that is, not the toothpaste... we're only just getting used to that), and that the conversation stemmed from our small group study of Hebrews: God always provides, if not always in our most conventional ideas.

House House House!
Here is a tour of our lovely little basement house - our cozy cave. You may not see the kitchen at the present time because it is a mess. This is most of the house as you would see it if you visited us via the garage entrance. We prefer it over the back door due to its lack of treacherous stairs.

A Few New Faves
(and a few old ones)
-vanilla yogurt with fresh, blanched peaches.
-our hundred and something year old trunk (yes it smells that old).
-looking at new Fall clothes online (it makes me so happy).
-listening to little voices and footsteps through the ceiling.
-Trader Joes.
-having a sink of dirty dishes (= having my own kitchen and dishes).
-listening to my ipod (thanks Em!).
-cold, sunny Fall mornings.

Comfort Food
So last night Josh and I spent thing evening/night distracting/entertaining our friends Nathan and Jody while they waited for their parents to arrive from Seattle. We had arranged an exchange: they provide dinner, we provide Quelf (it seems to be the one thing we are consistently capable of).
Their contribution of dinner consisted of homemade chicken pot pie. Delish. While discussion the food, it was mentioned how pot pie is a wonderful comfort food. "Word"
As I walked in to Costellos this morning, I was again struck with the idea of comfort food. Not being Southern, my comfort food is probably a little different: sushi for summer comfort, mexican soup works for fall comfort food. Costellos is comfort food any day of the year. And even more comfort than just food - walking in to find friendly baristas who know who I am, Florence and Barcelona on the screens, Caffe Umbria espresso in my americano, and friendly patrons, asking to join me with their macs and dells at my table.
Perfect comfort breakfast on a sweater wearing first day of September.
