Friday . . .

FOR TODAY 1:29:2010 at Or Just Me

Outside my window: the world is warming up. The sky is seeping blue among the clouds. It's bright and gorgeous and I am so thankful to have a window from which to peek.

I am thinking: how sad it is that J.D. Salinger passed away. He was my favorite recluse ever. He has left behind a legacy of words for all ages.

I am thankful for: the return of good health, weight loss, fuzzy animals and a good nights sleep.

From the kitchen: I can see the Christmas cactus leaves strewn all over the floor. Bear, it seems, likes to gnaw on the poor plant. A new home must be found for the poor cacti before it is devoid of all foliage.

I am wearing: oops, the same exact thing I was wearing last week: an old pair of the 9TS's flannel black and white checked pj bottoms and a black comfy shirt. Bare toes. Never fear, I will soon hop in the shower and get cleaned up . . . . and yes, they have been through the washer several times in the last week.

I am creating: a new camera strap cover. See post below.

I am going: to dinner at Carrabba's tonight. I so missed last week's Friday night meal. A side of spaghetti and a cup of minestrone sounds perfect, oh and warm bread and wine. Must not forget the wine.

I am reading: Nie Nie Dialogues. Such an amazingly strong soul. Such faith. I am in awe of this child.

I am feeling: a little overwhelmed at all the things that need catching up. Gulp.

I am wondering: What life would have been like had I been a little less hedonistic and a little more practical?

Around the house: the cat hair has reached such a volume that I am expecting a new litter to appear any second. The kitchen floor is now growing its own vegetables. I can write messages on the table tops. The bills need to be paid. I need to get in motion.
