I'm feeling better, and here's why
yes this is from a few months ago, but I didn't take any pictures of myself last week, and I haven't showered yet today.
- we're getting our new car this weekend, which means I will finally have my own set of wheels and I can leave my house more than a few times a week.
- out of the blue I had some old friends and new friends call me to hang out. I have so needed girl time, and it couldn't have been better timing. Thanks ladies!
- Tom, my dad, and my brother-in-law Andy went to see Daniel Johnston last week. I love going to rock shows, and this guy was particularly entertaining to watch and listen to.
- I'm feeling hope in the hope department.
- I went to a baby shower for a girl that lives around the corner from me and whom I've never met. It was awkward at first, I sat pretty close to my mom, but after she opened the smocked dress I made for her baby, and passed it around, I was a hit. I'm hoping I finally broke the ice.
- I had some nice long phone conversations with some of my good friends. This always cheers me up!
- After two weeks of no sugar and flour, I finally had a day of indulgence. Sugar cookies, fried scones, easter candy...I still have a hangover.
- I had a nice weekend of relaxation, family time, and spiritual uplifting.
- I registered for more violin teaching training this June. I really think this is what I need to re-motivate myself, make connections, and finally get going.
- I just bought tickets for Death Cab!
- I have a few playdates for myself and Luke scheduled for this week, and I can't wait!

I wish we lived near you so we could do a Luke/Elliot playdate!
yay! so happy to hear it all.
i love utah because you can go to shows for cheap and they are never sold out. those two things are hard to come by in LA and NYC, do you agree?
i'm glad you're getting out there. it took me a long time to adjust to my california neighborhood. sometimes it's hard when you feel like everyone else has their friends and you just left yours. so...i think i feel your frustrations?
What an amazing list. I'm smiling just reading it.
Start planning your NYC trip, so you have one more thing to look forward to! Then I would have something to look forward to too. Will you post a picture of the smocked dress? I want to ooh and ah too.
oh, so good to hear things are looking up. you look beautiful and I second the NY trip!
Love the new masthead.
yeah and they are playing with Tegan and Sara... will be a good show.
Have you seen the documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston"? It is amazing. As is DJ. Jealous.
smocked dress? i want to see it too.
glad you're feeling better - it's hard to move here, I think.
crap...I forgot to take a picture of the smocked dress. More to come though!
of all the things on your list i'm happy for you that you abstained from sugar and flour and then happy that you delighted in eating it again...i am a fan of "no sugar" as a weight loss tactic...one i shortly will get to employ.
Hooray to feeling better Lysh! I don't know which to be excited about more, but mainly I am just happy to read that you are feeling better because that makes me feel better. And as an added bonus, even if the picture is out dated, you look absolutely beautiful, as always. I love you.
Oh dear, is it hard to move. I hadn't realized what havoc uprooting ourselves and moving to a new state would cause, yet what you have provided is a checklist of some of my same struggles. I am glad you are feeling better, friends make a huge difference! And teacher training, I am so excited for you! You are always an inspiration, I can't wait to see what you do next!
