i think it would be funny to make a compilation of all the voicemails i get of people who start leaving a voicemail and then stop because i've called them back in the middle of it. "hey mikkele, this is so and so-- oh! you're calling me!"
okay maybe that wouldn't really be funny. it would probably get old after 2 or 3.
in other news, i thoroughly enjoyed the drive to my parents' house yesterday. left around 9am and didn't hit any traffic. weather was clear and the air was brisk. snow all over the grapevine mountains and puffy clouds covering the open road. i realized how beautiful the scene around me was. i've driven past these things a hundred times, but usually it's after dark or i'm tired or i just want to get home. yesterday was different-- i was rested and had no agenda. i just took the road one mile at a time, singing my heart out to sufjan and rogue wave. i've always liked taking long drives by myself. there is something so refreshing about it.
this isn't going to be the typical christmas filled with family/friends and presents and huge drawn out meals and hours discussing theology or astronomy or whatever around the kitchen table. we did that at thanksgiving this year. this holiday will probably be a lot of alone time and sleeping in my huge bed and baking cookies and sewing. i'm beginning to be okay with that.
