I just turned in my cell phone to my old company. The most immediate affect of this is that I can't tell what time it is since I don't wear a watch. I'm sure the inability to contact people on a whim will impact my lifestyle in major ways soon enough.

It's my brother's birthday today. I can't believe he's 22 already. Happy birthday, Colin!

This past weekend, I told my grandma that I still wear the muumuus that she gave me a few years ago, and so naturally she gave me a few of hers that she doesn't wear anymore. Also, I admired a sweater that my mom had recently bought, so she gave it to me. (I didn't make either comment with the intention of scoring new clothing - I just keep forgetting that my moms are like this.) The really nice thing about this is that I can, at any time the notion moves me, find their scents in the clothes, which reminds me of when I was little and they'd hold me. I may be a grownup, with an big person's job and a nice apartment and bills and friends and all that stuff, but it's not so bad to be reminded of being a little girl in the arms of two people who love you unconditionally.
