good morning bloggers

Hello,
I don’t have much to say today.  I am all set to wade back into The Big Muckle and thought I’d drop you a line first, since we went on a day jaunt to one of the Gulf Islands and I didn’t have time to write yesterday.

I’m the lunch cook this week, so I dropped Will off at school.  A cozy ride.  He was more awake than he usually is in the morning so I received interesting conversation instead of god-I’m-sleepy-and-why-is-she-talking-to-me grunts.  It was a lovely ride that lifted my spirits enormously.  Coming back home, our sky was, as usual, low hanging and grey, but when I was drove up over the hill, I could see all the way to Mount Baker and the cloud bank seemed to end a little before it, and golden early morning sun was pouring down, lighting up Mount Baker up so that the world could admire it’s snow clad beauty.  The far off horizon streaked with dusky rose and peach and violet pastels.  And somehow, the contrast of all that light and beauty against our dark low lying clouds and grey, made everything seem even more beautiful.  I came back home and right away I got set up to write.  No lolly-gagging!  I feel very organized this morning.  I have my cup of jasmine tea.  One teaspoon of sugar.  I have another cup that has food to nibble on.  Some salted cashews, some crisp organic dried apples, some dried organic cranberries, and just so all of you out there don’t think I’m too virtuous...I also have the second to the last Cranberry Port Dark Chocolate truffle.  And the only reason there are any of these truffles left is because nobody was really crazy about this particular mix.  The rest of the truffles are gone.  Sigh.

It’s interesting to me, that I need to have things to sip and nibble on when I write.  It’s like keeping my mouth awake, wakes up my brain and subconscious as well.  That’s why I have to be careful about what I place by my computer as nibbling treats, because if I’m not careful...I’ll have to bring out Mark’s pants expanders!

Anyway, dear bloggers, I’m off to write.  Have a good day!  xo
