So. I thought, "Why not torture everyone with pictures of the mundane?"
Indeed. Why not?
So here you go. Never say you aren't my homies. I'm letting you into my oh-so-exciting ordinary day.
::as she stifles a yawn::
It was a thrill a minute. It started something like this:
Yup. Me in my jammies.
I felt thankful for bright morning sun. And by the way? I always. always. make my bed.
Then I went to visit Monkey. Sometimes I beat his momma to the punch, and I get the fun of getting him out of bed first thing in the morning. Not today...his momma was right behind me. You just can't see her, because she isn't a fan of having her picture made early in the morning. Especially when it will hit my blog by that night.
Monkey, eating his breakfast of toast with apple butter and some cut up bits of banana.
...preparing to go on my walk. In my blinding white tennis shoes and yoga pants. I told you...no dungarees and boots for me, thankyouverymuch. I should live in Texas, because even when up in a ponytail, my hair insists on being big.
My hair and I had words this morning. It told me in no uncertain terms, "Go big or go home."
Since I really wanted to get my walk in, I went big.
...what was next in line on Pandora...country music helps me get my walking mojo going...
...later in the afternoon...
...my kitchen windowsill. And no, I have not cleaned my windows since the week of Thanksgiving. When I accidentally sprayed oven cleaner all over them.
bought these at the Fresh Market today...along with some white beans and onions.
I made white bean chicken chili for dinner.
...the Preacher came home, after a long day spent helping with our Big Renovation downstairs at our church building. (It's BIG...the kitchen is being gutted out and moved to another room, we are putting in a fellowship/coffee room, an outdoor gathering area, new nurseries...everything is changing down there. God is good - all the funds are there to "git 'er done".) He comes home, and immediately gets to work on his laptop. After kissing me "hello". Then, he kissed me "goodbye" and had to go back to the church to help finish up leveling a floor.
...I light candles all over the house, most nights. It helps me unwind and relax.
Monkey's nite-nite bottle...
And then I took a bath, watched the last 30 minutes of a John Wayne movie with the fam, and now I will watch the 11 o'clock news and hit the hay myself. But I shan't bore you with those images. Oh - and there was laundry folding and cooking and cleaning and a semi-long counseling phone call, and some research, sprinkled all throughout the day. Put it this way - I stayed very busy.
Ordinary days. Is there such a thing?
