today

hank started feeling flu-like last night after he played the show and was sick all day at work. he is currently asleep and i'm sure not feeling well at all, i feel so bad for him because he really wanted to make tonight special...even though it definitely was. anytime i spend with him is wonderful, and i really didn't care that none of our plans for dinner and a movie happened. instead we ate hugo's and curled up on the couch watching our catch up episodes of top chef on the dvr. it was totally romantic and wonderful. we're going to do a valentine's raincheck for when hank is feeling better, and i am excited for that too. this morning i spend a good portion of the day at the antique shops downtown, i found a couple great things for our house. when i got home from that long walk i ended up cleaning all day and just continuing to organize the new place. i don't have to work until tuesday so i was considering an impromptu shopping trip but i will most likely stay in prescott if hank is still feeling ill. right now it's almost midnight and i should be getting to sleep. i hope all of you had a beautiful valentine's day. xoxo

good morning valentine

love in the kitchen!

sweet avenue

this song is still one of my all time favorite songs, and perhaps one of the most romantic songs i can think of. it takes me back to high school and 1998, but reminds me most of hank because i would listen to this album on many of the drives up to prescott over the course of our one year long distance courtship. five years have almost gone by now.



tasting you in rain I walk down to the train
try not to look down
this day could some day be an anniversary
everything is light and sound
facing forwards going slowly wait for you to show me
where this train wants to go
living by the hour I stop for every flower
everything is soft and slow
now all these tastes improve through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life
for the first time it felt right
thank you for making me see there's a life in me
it was dying to get out
holding you we make two spoons beneath an April moon
everything is soft and sweet
this cigarette it could seduce
a nation with its smoke
crawling down my tired throat
scratches part of me that's purring
softly stirring
I'm a captain of industry smoking famously
feet up on the windowsill
look at all these trees I feel affinity with
everything so soft and still
budding at my fingertips
touching you I start to bloom
alive with trains and passing ships
soft and sweet along your lips now
I go "oh wow"
thank you for taking me from my monastery
I was dying to get out
with tears of gratitude
I like my latitude
cross town train to you
now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life for the first time it felt worth it
like I deserved it.

happy valentine's day!


i love you!, originally uploaded by daniellehampton.

it's officially valentine's day. it's about 1:20am and we just got back from the hour of the wolf show at sundances. robyn went with me and it was a good time. i am going to head to sleep in a minute, it's so late for me. but i do have to say how excited i am for tomorrow. i am doing some vintage shopping in the morning and then we'll be celebrating our first valentine's as a married couple! awesome.

the end of one of my all-time favorite films

ah, the inspiration i find in this movie...

snow snow

we had a snow day, which was wonderful. i do love my job, but i think anyone enjoys a day off. i just got done with a super hard workout and i am trying to cool down but also stay warm in our freezing house. i don't know if that makes sense, but i am sweating yet freezing. probably not the best combination, but oh well. we also already had a half day for tomorrow, and now they've added a two hour delay (making classes 12 min each!) which is another bonus. and off on monday! yay! hank and i just planned our valentine's evening as well, i am so so very excited. lately i feel so happy about everything, more than usual even, and i am excited for these next few months. big things on the horizon. i just need to stay focused on the now, which is something i struggle with from time to time. i always want what's on the horizon, the upgrade, moving on to bigger and better things, etc. i need to just really enjoy the here and now of everything. and i feel i usually do, but there are times i catch myself looking too much to the future rather than the present. but eek, enough serious talk for one night. right now i am in the middle of a book called "confessions of a carb queen," by susan blech. now if you know me you know i am a total sucker for any type of memoir, and i really wanted to love this one. it's in the same vein as one of my favorite books- "she's come undone" by wally lamb. it's about an obese woman's struggles, triumphs, etc. the book is OKAY so far, and i'm on page 160. the author is completely honest and talks about every single issue you could think of- she really lays it all out on the table...everything from "fat sex" (as she calls it) to her stream of consciousness take on her binging. the content is fabulous. i just feel like the writing could be so much better that i am distracted a lot by it, wishing i could go back and rewrite it. but alas, i will finish it, because i can't start a book and just put it down. i hope it picks up, and i will keep an open mind. next on my shelf is jenny mccarthys "belly laughs" - her in-your-face look at pregnancy. and no...i'm not pregnant. haha. so right now it is 10:23 and i should be heading to bed but i put off my workout until waay too late and now i am super wound up. i have phonecalls to return, and emails to respond to anyway, so perhaps i could use my energy there. hmmm...either way, i'm signing offline. goodnight my dear friends!
