Domestic Goddess

so we moved.... to a darling house with a red door, trellis over the one door, unusable garage and large fence for Huck. Life is good, and after a week of striving to live like the perfect housewife, it is back to normal.

We have dishes in the sink, clothes on the floor (less than normal though, baby steps) and the remains of Huck's toys shredded through out the living room. The everyday chaos makes me calm and cozy. However, I have channeled my inner domestic goddess with the purchase of yellow rubber gloves!

I have been a lover of aprons since way back, but mostly use them to hang to add color or for it to just seem like I wear them. Lately though I have been wearing the heck out of them and accessorizing them with my gloves. I love it. I've discovered productive grown-up dress up.

Who knows what is possible for me next... given the right attire.

big rain

Just read the weather report and it is predicting T-storms and lots of rain for tonight and all through Wednesday. Usually, I never know about the weather predictions unless I talk to my Dad, who always knows what the forecast is.... BUT today I checked it out and I must say that I am looking forward to the rain and even a little bit to the thunder.

I will have to remind myself of this once it doesn't stop and I am outside with our puppy for the 2nd time in the middle of the night but I think a little rain is what we all, or at least I need. Makes being still and calm seem like the appropriate thing to do. Who knows what epiphanies will come to me.

Fortune Cookies

I love the taste of fortune cookies always but today, I sincerely felt like my fortune had pulled out the hopes in my head and printed them on paper. "Your goal will be met in two months". I just loved how specific it was, and I must say that two months is the perfect time, not to rushed while at the same time still in the near future. So watch out... I've got big things coming in the next 60 days.

So here we are, THREE months later and still no "aha" moments, at least not the kind that I was searching for. However wonderful things have happened amidst confusion and frustrations along the way. I think that with out truly trying to do so, I have finally figured out what this blog should be about and procrastinated just long enough for things to make sense.

I am currently 23, to semi-quote a friend's facebook status, I feel a little like the adult version of a "pre-teen". I was recently married to the love of my life and during our 5 and some change months of matrimony we have both come to the conclusion that may be the only thing we are certain of. (Besides of course God, Family and Friends... for those literal readers out there)

My husband has a million ideas and even more cool hobbies. I never realized how jealous I was of him until we were married and I was left to wonder, what it was that I liked to do? Seems like a strange concept to have to ponder this but, in retrospect I realize that people in a sense were my hobby. Some/ many call me a people pleaser but I think that term has gotten a bad wrap. After trying running (no matter what people say I have yet to ENJOY yet CRAVE this activity), hand bells ( a post all in itself) and painting (which I really really did have fun doing)... I realized, after words of wisdom from my mother, that a hobby is not something you should force. After all they are to relax.

What does relax me is talking to friends and family, eating and people watching.... which I think should possibly be a sport. This is what I will write this blog about, mundane. positively lovely things.
