I only woke up today because I banged my head against the wall

Anyone else bummed out by this Chicago weather? It’s been kind of crappy the last few days and as much as I hate to admit it, my mood seems to be gray as well. I started reading Empire Falls thinking for most of the first chapter that it was supposed to be Empire Records. Literary fail on my part.

I read the most beautiful story today and wanted to share it with everyone. I could not stop crying the entire time. http://www.kellehampton.com/2010/01/nella-cordelia-birth-story.html
