Just Now...

current date and time: 4.15.12 9:55 pm

in my mug:  glass of milk, before bed, i've opted out of tea, to milk to help me sleep

in my belly:  pizza

in my ears: "Severus & Lily" from the Deathly Hallows soundtrack, an absolutely beautiful piece of music

out the window:  the mooing of cattle.  three new joined the herd across the road today.  much entertainment this afternoon as we watched them try to get acclimated to one another. there is still quite a raucous going on with a background soundtrack of spring peepers.  it was in the mid 80's today.  the girls ran around in bathing suits and i cleared the last of the poison ivy and cleaned out the other half of their tree fort (otherwise known as under the droopy branches of the weepy, giant fir tree).

on the editor: no photos this weekend.  a few random shots of the cat, but i haven't even uploaded them yet.

last watched: this TED talk by Frank Warren from PostSecret, love PostSecret.

feeling good about:  i have a daughter who is so unique that yesterday i bought her both The Girls Book of Glamour  and The Star Wars Character Encyclopedia for her upcoming birthday.  that and my favorite little wild flowers, the forget-me-nots above, are blooming in the mossy bits in the back lot.

feeling bummed about: hormones.  i'm going back on birth control.  i've come to the decision based on what is good for me.  i don't need it (obviously) for the whole pregnancy bit, but let me tell you the last four months i've been off them, have been a massive hell of intense mood swings, depression, headaches, severe backaches and heavy, heavy cycles.  

by my bedside:  just started Anne Lamott's "Some Assembly Required" and i was crying already before i got through Sam's introduction (well, also see above).  I held Operating Instructions close to me at least twice in my life as a bible ensuring me I was sane and I need to thank my Aunt for sending me this one so I could hold it lovingly as well.

new thing i love:  Soul Biographies.  If you haven't signed up for these lovely little glimpses in your email every Monday, I recommend it.  Nic Askew is putting together some fine portraits.
