That's A Dumb Name

'Tea Leaves' seemed somehow one dimensional. My mother argued that they tell a story and were thus perfect, but I think there's more to this than some girl who went to study in England because she liked tea.

There were other reasons.

We threw silly names back and forth and shredded empty Hanukkah gelt wrappers until my cat Skimmer sauntered into the kitchen.

It became immediately apparent to me that I should name my blog Skimbolia for the same reason I named the cat Skimmer, which is to say that I wasn't really sure but it felt right.

Tomorrow I leave for London, to study and intern and gain general life experience. I will be living with my darling Chloe and five (5) other girls.

Also I will have to pass Platform 9 3/4 every day to get to work.

And, like I said,I leave the states tomorrow, so now I leave you.
