My new obsession for today, maybe even tomorrow

okay, actually obsessions plural. it was a weird weekend (i got screamed at by a grown woman who worked part-time at jcrew for talking about politics at a party) and i gave my friend a poem for her birthday, and then RIGHT AFTER THAT another friend gave her an honest to goodness prada purse.

So, a website I have just found and loved 43things
has turned me onto some really cool stuff...for instance, subarctic plants. and the krumholz effect (stunted growth of trees caused by extreme climatic conditions.) oh my goodness i am in love with the dwarf willows.

and, another site i just found and love is a place that posts secrets mailed in on postcards.

This is not Lake Michigan. Sigh.
