Feels good to be using the ole noggin.

Ramblings of a Mom
Its funny how a smell can transport you right back to childhood. To me Crayola crayons still smell like childhood.. But they have to be Crayola brand. Weird.
Anyway as PoopyPants and I were walking home after picking up take out the smell of a wood stove burning somewhere was evident. The cool, crisp winter night. Snowflakes the size of dimes falling from the sky. Certainly one of those 'life is beautiful' moments. I closed my eyes and was reminded of being a child again, a little girl of about 8 years. Before the complexities and inequities of life had revealed themselves to me. To that sweet spot in the cycle of existence when the world is a good and wonderful place, and your mother is the smartest person that ever lived.
Its moments like these that remind me how important the role of mother really is. And I wouldn't trade this job for anything.

Remnants Of The Day
Today was a day spent among friends. I tea partied literally all day. Full on. Fancy cups and everything. A girlfriend came over this morning for tea and biscuits with homemade jam, and another this afternoon for Amish cinnamon bread and lemon loaf. So these are the leftovers of my day...2 teapots and a bunch of fancy cups and saucers that don't go in the dishwasher. Notice the tiny blue cup at the very bottom? Tea parties are for tiny people too! More days should be spent this way.

1/1/11
You have to admit, that looks pretty cool. 1/1/11. Looks like a fresh start. Back to square one. And I don't even buy into the whole new year, new resolution thing. I don't feel like I need a date on a calender to change things that aren't working in my life. But if that's what it takes for people to want more and do better, that is great.
I do however have goals. They are pretty much the same goals as always, but I do feel newly fired up to attain them. Health is a big one. Its not so much about looking better or losing weight...its about being healthier and stronger. I want to be sure that I am able to defend mine if need be. So I may do the same as a lot of people are at this time of year and get myself a gym membership. Geesh there is this part of me that cringes when even thinking about going along with the crowd. Anyway...whatever your resolutions, or not...
