buzz buzz

Well, I'm back on the coffee. Yesterday after church I had my first caffeine in nearly seven weeks. I was very awake all day. Not too buzzy, just...alert. I reined in and only had two cups of very delightful freshly ground Viking blend, which my sister sent me from the Valhalla roasters of Tacoma, Washington. Well done, vikings. Well done.

And I am currently enjoying the dark chocolate Dove heart that has been in my desk since Valentines' Day. Yum yum. Buzz buzz. Happy Monday, indeed.

the ugly truth

Ok, ok. Once again, the Adventures of Wonderspools have been sadly neglected. Inspiration and opportunity have just not been lining up lately.

And, to be honest--I wondered if anyone would notice. Pathetic, but true. For all my firm declaration that I keep this blog as a writing exercise for myself, the fact remains that I really, really like knowing that people read it. [blush with shame]

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, spring is coming, snow is melting, it's Holy Week, my favorite dog at the Humane Society has been adopted and I am both happy and sad about that, I will be seeing my family soon, I have paint samples hung up all over the house, I've discovered the musical delights of pandora.com, work is busy, Gladys is draped in a half-finished cotton dress, we cut massive amounts of firewood on Saturday and my lats are still a little sore from running the chainsaw, and it was warm enough on Friday to wash my car outside. The end.
