Mmmm

Hi there.........

So yeah. So much for the two posts a week resolution. :P I've been so busy between work and Benny and various other things that I haven't had much of a chance to clean my room let alone post on my blog. (I did clean my room a couple days ago, thus the posting.)

But tonight as I was walking home from choir I was realizing that it wasn't quite dark yet... It was dusky, but there was definitely still daylight. That got me thinking about seasons and the different things they bring. I know that's generic but still, I felt like doing a post about it. :)

,

It's so interesting to me how in the winter it gets dark at seven o'clock and then in the summer it stays light out till what, nine or ten? In the winter it's hard to imagine that and in the summer it just seems to weird to think about it being dark that early.

,

Then there's the wonderful things each season brings, specifically smells. Spring just smells so good this year! There's the sweet scent of daphne, cherry blossoms, and lilacs mixed with rain and grass and growing. I'd forgotten how good it smelled.

Summer has a lovely smell too. A warm soft scent made of dirt, new mowed grass and the fresh morning air early on in the morning. 

Summer summer summer

Summer does have some smells that aren't so nice... Mainly melting asphalt but the goods out weigh the bads. :)

Fall is one of my favorites with it's spicy smells of falling leaves, smoke, and the crisp feeling of the air.

.

Currently I'm still loving the spring smells and looking forward to summer ones! Take some time to stop and smell the flowers. :)

Gah.....

On my way home from work last night the snow was falling thickly. I remarked to Forrest who was with me that I wished we could have less rain in the winter and more snow.

It's just so beautiful!

Well I take it back. Last night our power went out, which it almost NEVER does. And when it does t usually comes back on in a matter of minutes.

This time the power decided to come back on at 4:30 in the morning waking me up. I got up feeling relieved only to step in a very cold, very large puddle of water that ran all the way from the door on one side of the basement to our room leaving everything soaked in it's wake. We spent the last 45 minutes cleaning that up...

So anyways... Yes, the snow is quite beautiful. But I think it's more trouble than it's worth. Just in general, I'm totally ready for Spring!!!

Sleeplessness

Well hello world...

This seems to be a theme with me. Once again midnight, lying in bed, unable to sleep. Sometimes I really just can't turn my brain off.

So I promised myself that I would start writing at least 300 words of my story every day this year. Not happening yet... If only it was easier to translate feelings and emotions into words. I bought myself a couple nice clean journals the other day. One is to collect character sketches, descriptions, and ideas. The other is to write down my story  once it's been finished. Hopefully that will inspire me to get working.

Part of the problem us that I am working though. Which I am very grateful for by the way. (Have I mentioned I really love my job?)

Sometimes I feel just like I'm swimming in circles. Always having the same problems and needs and always promising myself the same thing. What I really need to do is to stop procrastinating and thinking so much and just get to work.

One thing I gave been thinking about a lot lately though is people and our dependence on each other.  I'm thinking about doing a full post on it sometime. We'll see.

Anyhow here goes yet again another sleep attempt.

Another post hopefully upcoming-Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows movie review.

Love and Hugs!

It's the Little Things

I came across these while browsing through quotes on weheartit, my latest obsession.

It's so true though! Sometimes the simplest tiny things can make you very happy.  One that I had never thought of was #289 "The first time someone says your name."
