Today, we are packing up my car.  Tomorrow, at 5:30am, we are leaving for Montreal.  My biggest fear is forgetting our passports.  My second biggest fear is that my international coverage, which is scheduled to kick in the moment we cross the border, might not actually work and we will find ourselves mapless.  All fears, however, are overcome by the constant wondering about what happened to the last year.  Tomorrow is our first anniversary.  I just do not know how this could be.  I know that I have said that so many times over the past month, but it feels no realer now than it did three weeks ago.  One year...

Hey there!  How has this week been treating you?  

The cashmere sweater of winter drinks, ay?  I wish I had two sets of eyes right now so I could roll both of them. 

Good morning!  How are you?  How are you really?  

I have been on a chai-induced high over the past week.  I have dipped my toes into fall baking and I am more than a little excited about the return of chilly mornings.
