blazes (or the lack thereof)

Why do weeks seem so much longer when there are holidays in the middle of them?

Last night I went to Jeremy and Brett's good-bye party at Heidi's because they're going to different places in Africa for a few months. It was good to see them again. And all of the other friends that we have in common. Old roomies, old neighbors, Chris and Ashley, interesting conversation (kitty vs. airplane scrubs, lighting trees on fire, the price of hogs)... it was a good time.

Mom took the Christmas tree down today and Jakey and I tried to burn it. It was a little too windy and damp outside because we couldn't get any of it to stay lit. Lighter fluid didn't help; it burned away and the tree never caught. O well, at least we know that it wasn't a big fire risk.

Blessings.
