much to tell

good afternoon thursday. youve been surprisingly delightful thus far.

theres a bitter.sweetness that came with your gloomy.rainy.darkness today & the constant damp chill included with that. youve created a greenhouse of good ideas and thoughts. am enjoying the feeling of getting snuggled up. toasty. kozy warm with leila bug. am enjoying this warm rich hot chocolate. am enjoying this starbucks java chip ice cream. (best stuff on earth). am really enjoying the humming silence right now in this still house. with nothing but the pleasing sound of raindrops. dead silence is too distracting for me. but this here now, this is blogging weather at its best.

much to tell. not really.

first and foremost. i have been slowly chipping at the iceberg, and preparing to prepare the whimsical wyoming post. lame i know. preparing to prepare. which unltimately means... just thinking alot about it, wondering when ill have the time to do it, and not getting it done. gunna get it done today. check. i will force my self to be a mouse potatoe. glue my hand right down to the thing until all editing.cropping.posting is final. i will be blog obsessed until it is complete. yikes. see heres where that blogworld intimidation plays in. time eating machine. which, actually. is ok with me. im happy to put all real chores aside while i post photos. type my mind. and write neat nothings.

this weekend, mallory james plans to come + have fun tolland style. due to the unpredictable weather of the east coast, im not sure these plans are a definite. if she does come. she will bring sunshine with her, that i am sure of. in great company we will chat + laugh. the norm. just listening to her tell stories of her life, her craziness. its joy all on its own. she kinda makes you forget about your own ho.hum ordinary every day life, when you listen to her untamed tales of the wild. when we were walkinig along the streets in nyc talking a couple weekends back on my visit with her, she said something that has stuck with me. and i love it. and i feel the need to quote it. blog it. share it. its not just the quote itself, but the little picture i have in my head of mallory when she said it. we were walking. hands in pockets. mallory says " it should be illegal to be this happy" looking up with her eyes and smiling wide. it was hers. that euphoric feeling of being so happy. so high on life. like falling in love. the joyous jitters of overwhelming happiness. you almost feel crazy. kinda nuts. and all of that, it was hers. it was written all over her face. shes been waiting for that. she has desired that. and she got it.

greatly enjoyed seeing her in this state.

oh MAN. bummer. total bummer. word just came in. malpal will not be coming. well. hmph. the thought was entertaining. she is currently being burried in snow. in the city. must be pretty.

this weekend i am going to try this new recipe for boneless buffalo chicken. right off the back of the bisquick box. who knew? let ya know how that tastes and if its worth trying.

seems simple, looks scrumptious. also going to try (re-try i should say.) these mint brownies. cupcake wine is delightful. and stands at the cheap price of 10 dollars. this has raised my love o meter for it even more. another 10 dollar treasure? manicures at soho nails in vernon. strawberry cream cheese is my new obsession. it is amazing.

off to edit.
