i don't think i'm capable of effusive love for real things and real people.

just animals and celebrities and food.

is that a bad thing?

i've been reading the blog of this girl who is married and pregnant and mormon and young and lives in DC (http://taza-and-husband.blogspot.com) and while i don't really want to be 24 and pregnant, the joy in her posts and her beautiful photos and her ridiculous style make me kind of jealous. she makes the montgomery county fair look and sound thrilling. she makes the germantown pumpkin festival sound amazing. she makes a big mac look like the most delicious thing i'll ever eat.

i think i should look on the bright side.

what's that right now? my back pain is lessening, and i'm getting an MRI on tuesday, which will hopefully get me to the root of the problem, and then one week later, i'm going to the physiatrist, who deals with spine and sports injuries, who will cure meeeee! i hope.

also, vamos rafa! <3
