September 20: The first day back in Colorado (from NYC) brought rain, and cloudy skies and this scene from the 10th floor of the building I work at. It’s just a glass table, but the light sparkled oh so prettily.
There are small things so often overlooked in life because they seem mundane and silly. I say if something catches your eye, take a moment to look closer. And maybe make a picture out of it.
September 21: I found a Big Thoughts desk! Someone threw this little treasure out a few weeks back and I rescued it on a rainy day trek back from work. (Rain has been a general theme this week…)
This fellow is imperfect, but sturdy. It needs some refinishing work and some tweaking to fix a few flaws, but otherwise, I’m pretty excited. At last, a place to sit and have big thoughts; to write and recollect; to nurture one’s creativity.
September 22: I’m trying to be a chef. When I lived at home (and therefore had access to television), I would sometimes watch the Food Network and get all inspired to concoct delicious creations. My mother was always excited to have someone willing to cook, so she agreed to pay for all ingredients and clean up afterward if any of us four was willing to play chef.
I think perhaps I didn’t appreciate these allowances enough in the moment.
Because now I have to buy my own groceries, clean my own kitchen, and have no television to be inspired by the Food Network types.
However, I must say that migas (as seen above) is still both cheap and easy to make.
And it tastes delicious!
September 23: Have you ever read Anne of Green Gables? Or seen the movies? There’s one line in which Diana (Anne’s bosom friend), states that she cannot possibly get married before acquiring 37 doilies. Because, naturally, how can one be expected to manage a proper household without at least 37 doilies. Makes sense right?
A few years ago, my family and I were watching this movie and in my oft-ridiculous ways decided that I too couldn’t imagine such a lifestyle.What sort of a wife would I be without the proper collection of doilies?
Well, as they are prone to do, my family decided they ought to humor me. So, when Sputnik and my mom went to Prince Edward Island a few weeks ago and visited Anne’s beloved countryside, they brought me back these two doilies.
Only 35 more to go…
September 24: The Reverb photo taking continues. This is Matt + Kim. They were energetic. The theatre was packed. I nearly got run over by bouncing, jiving audience members.
Business as usual.
