Seems like just yesterday (couldn’t think of anything clever-er) that I was feeling so incredibly mellow, sitting here in the very early summer a.m. – when the sky was that deep-but-bright-saturated-blue. You know, around 4:30-ish? and there’s like 1 bird chirping? Probaby the longest day of summer. Early sunrise and late sunset. Compared to today. 5:15 and it was still dark. I just now noticed there’s no birds chirping? What’s up with that? and it’s 6:45? well that’s weird.
Anyway. Makes me sad. So damn fast and summer is gone. Oh sure, I know that there are plenty of warm days left. But no more early dark blue mornings. But you know what made me quite happy after the sad thoughts? Of course after summer is fall, and then comes winter, and guess who does not have to slosh out in the freezing, 5 feet of snow-blizzard scrape-off-her-car and almost get-in-an-accident-driving-to-work-weather any longer??? *ME* mememememe! yippee. So that helped me to feel better.
One more thing. I fell prey to Facebook. Yup, sure did. And it’s all Krishanna’s fault. I really never paid attention to any of those “social networking” dealies, but I gotta tell ya, sure is addicting… at least for me it is. You know how you get in there and see one friend, which leads to 3 more and on and on… had to get out of there.
Ok, gotta go! ah, I hear a couple of birds now, but it really is kind of empty out there…
Since our kitchen was remodeled, and now the rest of the house, I have been the model 50s housewife. Well, let’s just say that I clean now. More so than I have for the last 10 yrs. Heck, more so than when my daughter was a baby… when I was a stay-at-home mom. When I was still a guilty Catholic. I’m proud of myself. My home is really clean. Except for one little drawer. No, not really a junk drawer as I knew it before. But it’s still my dirty little secret. It’s where I store my coffee bags before I grind the beans. In fact, hubby actually gets peeved when there’s some coffee dust in the corners of the drawer.
Un-fockin’ believable. Here I was, waiting and refreshing the Mark Ryden page where his little Rose pin was going on sale at 11:00 sharp (my time). BOOM! There it is, get it in my cart, OH NO, what’s my password?? Damn, had everything else ready – OH YA, ok, BOOM, go to check out. WTF?? SOLD freakin’ OUT? At 11:02? With 500 editions? I am in shock. Seriously. I mean, I know the stuff goes fast, like faster than a sonic boom, but that really blew my mind. Probably happened because #1. it was inexpensive. #2. you could buy 4 of ’em and #3., well, just because. geesh.
I cannot imagine growing up without books. Without reading ALL of the time as an adult (before pc I hate to admit). Reading has made me more knowledgeable about subjects that I would never know about otherwise and that’s just from reading fiction! Reading has made me a good speller, a smarter person and taken me to places out of this world.
