I am in Michigan until Thursday. It's been a while since I've updated this, I know - it's just so hard to "have it all" right now because, honestly, I'm in a creative slump. Instead, I'm having all these really lame and banal thoughts whirling through my head, like, "Wow, I wish I had a washer/dryer in the place where I live - that would be amazing" - real lame stuff.

The thing about slumps is I think it's actually better to just ride it out rather than fight it. Maybe I'm wrong - wouldn't be the first time.

Abby, I am posting this for you, because I think you will find it hilarious. A picture of me from probably around 3rd grade that my dad e-mailed me today. "Cheeky".
