hi k8.
to Recap:
the assignment was to pick 5 five things i liked about being away for the new year (i went to austin to work on a show and visit my friends.)
and 5 things i liked about being home.
these are in no particular order.
because i love lists...but i hate ranking things.
AWAY:
5.) Rio Rita: I don't usually get excited about things that come in glasses, but the bloody mary i had at this tiny hipster bar was one of the most delicious things i have ever tasted.
i am posting the yelp link to a picture of the upcycled 7-up sign they use to advertise the place because i am a sucker for putting new paint over old paint.

COMING HOME
5.) Cooking stew in my crock-pot (i really do love that thing!)
AWAY
4.) No snow.
COMING HOME
4.) Snow. But only when i don't have to drive somewhere.
AWAY
3.) Working. Every. Day. And going to sleep tired from working.
COMING HOME
3.) Working. But getting to eat candy or hump a chair or watch the soup on-demand whenever i feel distracted.
AWAY
2.) Meeting new people like an adorable set designer and her british fiance who recreated a magic show from when he was seven years old at the new years party i was invited to. Remembering how interesting people are and that i am not a total social pariah.
COMING HOME
2.) My good old friend, bed. And her sister, firm-matress. Oh yeah, and Jordan, you too.
AWAY
1.) for some reason i was very clean in the kitchen.
COMING HOME
1.) My dying christmas tree and the kitchen island full of lip gloss, dirty water glasses, and unread time magazines makes me laugh. FOR NOW.
kate you are the best.
bye.
