barefoot and forgetful

Thursday, January 1st, 2004
a red dress
flowing free
in the breeze
she sighs
but the sun is bright
and she feels warm
and carefree
barefoot
she runs
away from
problems and pain
away from empty hearts
and cruel looks
the city lies behind
the hills and fields ahead
she hears the wind call her name
and she looks forward
to the unknown

About

Thursday, January 1st, 2004

I’m a public youth services librarian in the Rochester, NY area. As woman in her twenties, I haven’t had too much experience as a librarian yet, but the experiences I have had have been very interesting.

I’m also a relatively new mother of a little guy who keeps me on my toes. Thank god he’s so darn cute because I might have lost my mind.

And so the embarrassment begins…

I’m going to do it. I’m going to start posting poetry and short stories. Even if I embarrass myself. This is what I originally wanted to do with my blog, but didn’t have the guts to do it. So here it goes!

Christmas in Stitches – Literally

Thursday, January 1st, 2004

Hi again. I just thought I’d talk a little about my Christmas… It sucked! I passed out on the kitchen floor Christmas Eve, and cut my face up under my cheek. My husband and I had to go to the emergency room and I needed to get seven stitches. They put me on an IV and I received two whole bags of fluid. Yummy yummy. Everyone who came in thought maybe I might be pregnant, but no such luck. We finally got home around 11 pm and had to finish wrapping Christmas presents, so we went to sleep around 2:30 am.
Luckily the rest of the Christmas was uneventful, but tiring.
