    It was a dreamy way to spend a few weeks and solidified my status as a helpless musical romantic.

    Stick these in your headphones and sway a little.
    Think of sunshine and laughter.
    Think of dramatic, teary goodbyes in the middle of the road in Darjeeling. (You were right, you’ll never see him again.)
    Think of your best girlfriend in the kitchen of your apartment in 1999 wearing pajamas and waiting for the coffee to brew.
    Remember the way her hair was always crazy in the morning.

    Think of how sappy that silly Heidi girl is.
    Think of whatever you want.
    Enjoy.

    • ]]>     I posted this on my old heidiswift.com site last year and wanted to be sure to move it over here to the new digs.

    It’s happy, snappy, and big-smile worthy.

    Turn on, crank up, and enjoy.
