I have been without internet for 2 days, and it was horrendous. Without the internet, I can’t contact anyone (especially when I temporarily lose my phone charger.)
Anyways, spring has sprung- there are birds singing and tons of flowers and the trees are getting leaves. It’s really gorgeous…
You, dear daughter, are a crazy girl. What is it with Tobins doing all of their work at the last...

Concerning living in the country.
hannahcerene:
After living in a big city for my whole life, moving to the countryside is quite a strange change.
Though I do live in a town (18,000 people live here), it is completely different. I walked home from the movies tonight, in the dead center of town, and it was completely silent. No cars, no people, nothing.
In the place I consider home, if you stepped outside, even in the middle of...

I have been putting the field of Fashion under very careful consideration.
I love fashion. Seriously. There are few things I love more. It would pretty much be my dream job to be involved in any way in the Fashion Industry.
BUT, the problem is, the road to the Fashion Biz is paved with obnoxious women and gay men (for the most part). Who are also good at what they want to do. Which...

There is nothing like causing a fray among one’s daughter, who lives in France and is addressed as French Girl, and her friends, all on Tumblr. It is a good thing that Tumblr invented the “Ask” function. Creates good entertainment.

hannahcerene:
I love all of my lovely friends.
And a special <3 to Hannah Baartmans because of the whole singing a song on my Facebook Wall thing.
Your FAMILY loves you, too! (But I am so glad you have your friends - so it’s OK for you to forget about us!)
Je parti ma famille d'accuiel ce soir.

Je suis en train de faire mes baggages.
Bon courage a moi.
J’aime ecrire en francais, c’est comme une langue secret.

It’s not a secret language to me. :)
So there, Pixie!

I want it to be summer.
I want it to be hot in the day, and warm at night. I want leaves to drip off the trees in august, and go swimming. I want to have no school, and I want to be able to go outside in the middle of the night and drink in the sound of cicadas. I want the air to be heavy, and the buildings to be too air-conditioned. I want to drink lemonade and eat okra. I want...

It is safe to say this has been the most eventful year in my life.
One year ago today, I was at marching band practice.
9 months ago, I was in the midst of making the hardest decision I had ever had to make.
6 months ago, I was eating grilled cheese sandwiches.
3 months ago, I was sitting on the bank of a creek, enjoying summer.
And today, I am in a small town in the center of...
“Jesus Christ! Don’t do that!”

It is so bizarre-
It is so bizarre to sit her in my office watching my daugther change the background of her blog. I try to imagine her working furiously on some computer in France, changing the way she wants to represent herself to the world. It’s a little jarring. But very interesting…..
One thing that I have learned so far
hannahcerene:
Is that people aren’t only very different, but also a lot more similar than they think.

Closest webcam that we can find to Hannah →
This is the closest webcam that we can find to Hannah. Doesn’t look like they have webcams in Romo. But Paris in only 150 miles away from Romo. So this gives a good idea of what the weather may be like in Romo. Living vicariously.

Hi. I Tweet. And I blog on Wordpress on a pretty serious topic. I even Facebook. But I am gonna try to make this tumblr thing work because my daughter, Hannah Cerene Tobin, just started her first day in France and she will be there for eleven months. She blogs on tumblr and I think if I want to be connected to her blog or comment on her blog, I have to tumbl. Right?
But now I have to figure...
