I'm so tired right now, but my mind is racing a mile a minute which means I'm wasting time on the computer. (Side note, whenever I spend too much time staring at my screen, I hear Greg Kinnear's voice from "You've Got Mail" saying, "You think this machine is your friend but it's not!" and I become weary and ready to curl up with an honest-to-God, made-of-paper book.)

But before I do, tonight I stumbled across some old photos taken with the phone I had during college, and there are some surprisingly decent (or at least nostalgic) shots. Trip down memory lane, anyone?

Tuesday night = Not as productive as I planned, but at least I remembered to breathe.

Perhaps I'm still running on leftover zen from my New England weekend. Lovely leaves tend to have a lasting effect on me.

So much better than those old history text books.

A pretty history refresher for your Friday afternoon from Maira Kalman.

Things in this picture of which you should be jealous:

`Beeeautiful Valentine's Day tulips, reveling in their afternoon shade.
`HUGE mug of green tea with mint, my new fave.
`Extremely quaint view from my front window, complete with waving neighbors (not pictured) and my ornate garden chair.
`Zooey D. crooning at my heart (also not pictured).
`Using my day off to buy a large stack of new books and being able to begin each of them while following the sun as it passes through the different rooms in my house.

A girl like me could get used to four-day weekends...

This is what happens when I can't sleep.
