almost a year later...

i remembered i had a blog. and only b/c my friend sally's blog went up in anticipation of her move to egypt. when i read my first and last and only post, i realized that it's been one year ago today that i adopted jasmine! so today is my happy jasmine day. she is pure joy in a bundle of white and black and at my feet as i write this.

i'm at lake brownwood looking out at cloudy skies, my parents have just left for odessa, and it's time to get to work on the novel...
