Some dear friends went to Greece last month and they aren't helping things.

And my dad is taking off for Scotland for work this weekend.  He plans to golf at St. Andrews, but if I were going, you'd find me exploring the landscape.  It's so unlike anything I've experienced and I am pretty sure the photos I've seen don't do it even the slightest bit of justice.

All images link to their sources, except the second-to-last.  That one is by my friend Abby.

When fairytales jump in reality...

I'm reading fairy tales, attempting to write a term paper discussing the tale type categorization as well as the emotional power of "The Ugly Duckling," and dreaming that I live in a castle.

Someday, I shall have to take a romantic getaway (with Cory, whether he likes it or not) to a European manor and imagine myself to be a new heroine in yet another tale.
