I guess I'll see you around.  I'll be around.

I'm home.  In three days I've been everywhere in the midwest, except Chicago, that is interesting to me.

Greenville, IL
St. Louis, MO
Columbia, MO
Kansas City, MO (and Kansas)
Lawrence, KS (although I was just passing through)

And now I'm home, exhausted and happy.  I've driven 9 hours in the last 3 days, all on highways and mostly passing through complicated cities.  I was supposed to be gone until Sunday but...I guess not.  Here I am.

I'd never seen the Mississippi River or the Arch before this, and at one point I drank hot coffee and liked it.

What an experience!  Why don't people roadtrip all the time?!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you enjoy.  I really love making them, and showing them.

They've helped me do a damn good job at not getting sad or melancholy today.

So Happy Valentine's Day!

Stay tuned.

Tomorrow you will be the recipients of my Valentine's Day cards.  I made two sets of three.  And a seventh one, a preview card I suppose:

It doesn't look like the others.

This weekend will be some Illinois action.  Illinoise!

This has been the best weekend-in-summation in a long month.  I mean, I know it's only Saturday night and it's too early to say, but...

I've had a really great weekend.  There's not a single thing I can point to and say, "I didn't like that."  Even though I had to work last night and tonight, I actually enjoyed myself a little, and nights after work completely made up for it.

I could go on and on.  But I'll end with...it's been a nice sad February.

Although Valentine's Day is only 3 days away and I have yet to: 1. find a valentine (bummer), 2. make any Valentine's cards, or 3. get really sad at the realization of yet again not having a valentine,

I figure it's about time I accomplish all three.  How to go about this?!

Uggh.  I have no idea.  Ohhh well.  Maybe I'll settle for one of the three.  Number two.
