Cloud Castles

Lately I've been dreaming of life after au pair-ing. Mostly the dreams consist of moving to an adorable old apartment in D.C. and setting up house with a container garden on my back porch and a dog. There's a job in there somewhere too, but mostly it's going to church, laying in the sun on the Mall, writing, visiting the same coffee shop every day, and a restaurant once a week. I've always wanted to be a "regular" somewhere.
