sad things.

I'm out of my instant indian nutty-loveliness coffee! Mornings just aren't the same. Mornings also aren't the same without the WSJ. But! soon I will be home in MN where Pai can provide me with both (I hope). The world is much sadder without the best coffee ever made.

In other sad news, the crazy landowners behind my house decided to cut down two old, beautiful trees that I looked at every day I woke up. These trees were big and tall, taller than this three-story monster-sized house I live in and covered in lots of pretty ivy. It's awfully sad. Enough so that I haven't taken a picture of how dismal it looks outside without their branches blocking my view of the other monster houses in the adjacent lots. Woe sou eu.  

In a happier turn of events, Maria Cecilia, the coolest and smarty-est 6th-grader ever, won the Spartan SuperStar award for the second year in a row. I'm so proud! Yay, Ceciiiii! I hope one day my future nenes can be as awesome and smart. In other happy news, my mother dearest will be visiting in FOUR days. AND I'LL BE HOME IN SIX. Almost makes up for the loss of coffee and trees... almost.
