for the first time in my life...

...i'm inspired and excited by the rain. most people who know me, know my hatred for any kinda precipitation other than snow. but today something changed:) I looked out the window and saw the trees swaying and it started to get dark at 5pm. i had to make a run to the apartment office and that did it:) normally i'd be grossed out by the prospect of wet feet and what not. but today was different. I lilted away to music in my head and took the long route back from the office to my apartment. and i made every excuse possible to go back out - i even took out the trash while it drizzled ever so lightly on my head.

i was inspired to cook today but i seem to have hit a patch where nothing i make turns out the way i want it to or expect it to. i'm not trying exotic recipes or anything. just basic comfort food. but it's not ending out perfectly:( oh well! on any other day this would've bothered me a ton, but today i'm not letting anything get to me.

i'm watching my sister's dogs and they're showering me with soooooooooooo much love:) i've missed this. i almost adopted a puppy yesterday. if it wasn't for that silly UK visa appointment i had to make, i'd be a dog parent today! but one of these days i'm giving in and getting a puppy. unconditional love...that's all i have to say:)

ok i'm done sharing my chirpiness with the world at large through this forum...signing out for now so i can enjoy dinner, maybe a glass of wine and some tunes on the ipod...
