we should all have the good sense of this dog and curl up in jesus' lap from time to time

Oh hi! I'm alive. And most importantly, I am done with my third semester of nursing school, save for the aforementioned writing class for which I am still working on an assignment that was due exactly three weeks and one day ago. Sigh.

Naturally, I have spent my first day of freedom obliterating time on the internet, and now I feel the need to compile and share.

A poem (that I actually like/understand!) from my writerly friend Meg.

A positively pastoral nativity scene from my Jewish friend Susie.


A hipster dinosaur coloring book from my American Spirit-smoking boyfriend. (Apparently I am late to the party on this one. Fashionably late, I say.)



Realistic children's paintings...


...and a disgruntled would-be teenage librarian from my soon-to-be librarian sister.



Happy Holiday Season, Everyone! May all your dreams come true and not be ruined by evil librarian social networking accounts.
