changes for laura.

I got an American Girl catalog in the mail today. Even now, all these years later, seeing it in my mailbox gave me that butterflies-in-my-chest-in-a-good-way feeling. I came inside the apartment and immediately looked at it, page by page. It's full of pictures of young girls in red and navy L.L. Bean-type sweaters holding their immaculate, factory-done-hair dolls. It makes me want to go out and rake leaves.
