Okay, this quiet time (well if you consider writing to Outkast as quiet time) on my deck, java in hand, overlooking part of the city skyline, a breeze pushing away the humidity, is almost over. It's almost time to get down to the work of the day. K and the kids are at church but should be home soon.
Since yesterday was so busy, today is stacked with errands, chores, budgeting and other household management duties. I even managed to get one load of laundry in the washer. But as you can see I've been working harder on writing this morning then taking care of the house. So, as soon as I'm done with this little summary, that will change.
Yesterday's wedding brought out a lot of emotions for me, no, I did not cry, but I did get a bit melancholy after we got home last night. (Oh sure, I did have two drinks but can't really blame on that, it was only two and I kept them on the 'light' side due to the heat, and I only drank with dinner). But I'll figure out what I want to write about it later, since it involves so much of what any of us are, or have been through with family or our own spouses, or even friends. Just thought I'd sneak it in to whet your appetites for something interesting to come.
Okay, I should at least get the load I put into the washer into the dryer or it doesn't really count for much. To all my friends who are working outdoors today, stay cool and drink plenty of fluids (preferably non-alcoholic). To my friend working a super long day inside, at least you'll be cool. To my Mom who I think is still in Minnesota with her friend Liz, travel home safely. And congratulations to Mrs. D on her award, I know it's much deserved. To my sisters in Atlanta, you can really, really have this weather back. It's too hot for May as far as I'm concerned. May all of you spend the day being happy, singing a happy song in your head or outloud with your kids or to yourself if that works, and really, really have a fabulous day.
Hope you had a great day!
