Monday, December 14th, the limo on the way to school

When I woke up this morning, the birds were chattering, the sun was shining and flowers were in bloom (especially the roses). Even though it was winter and even though flowers can't survive in New York since everyone tramples over them during rush hour. Reason for my hallucination? L-O-V-E! I can't believe such a simple little four-lettered word could change my life like this. Even Lily noticed my dramatic change when I picked her up for school this morning:

- What did you eat?

- Huh?

- This early in the morning, you are usually grumpy, sleepy, tired, annoyed or upset.

- I am?

- Yep. So what's the cause of change?

- Life is beautiful.

I decided to leave it like that. I'm not quite ready to tell Lily about... this just yet. I don't know how she'll react. Mad? Really mad? Rabid anger? Disappointed in me? I have to talk to him before making any stupid decisions. I've made enough of those in the past to learn my lesson (hint hint: the whole thing with Josh Richter, how could I have been so blind?).
