Write your own story

I'm feeling the winter blahs.

I'm remembering that I have not left the country in quite awhile.  Note to self: update passport with new name, get husband a passport.  Plan a trip to Mexico.  Or, you know, Disneyland.  Because I've never been.  Or maybe just do some wine tasting in California or stay someplace fun this winter/spring.  You know, something warm or romantic.  Or what the hey-ho, go visit April in Idaho and stay at her house!

My palate feels dull and heavy.  All I want is fruit and Mexican food.  More lime zest and ridiculously sweet carbonated beverages, but go light on the queso, porfiz!  Srsly, eat that fruit.

It's wet out there, and so so gray.  I think I would like a bright, sunny craft to do.  Seriously, I just said a craft.  Maybe get Kate over to teach me to knit husband a scarf???  Yes, tomorrow for second breakfast!

I'm reading people's writing and wishing that I could write.  I don't know what I would write, but somehow it has something to do with what I have already read and am currently reading.  Action step: Read Undine.

I'm seeing people's kindness and altruism and wishing I could love outside of my small circle.  I guess there's a lot of work I could help with in Everett.  And I guess I have in-laws, so that's a thing.  Funny thing, I feel like Liz's parents could count as family, too.

I need some beauty in my life right now-- I think of Stephanie's singing voice.  I left her a note to leave me a singing voice mail.
