It's raining.
And it has been raining all day.
I spent a considerable and unfortunate amount of time outside walking in it. I may have broken an umbrella, or rather, it was the wind who broke it.
Soaked my clothes through. Completely.
A melancholy mood today, no other way to describe it. Read "I Heard the Owl Call My Name" over lunch at the Urban Cafe and that might have had an impact on me as well. A professor (and former English teacher, so her suggestions are more enjoyable and less theological) recommended it last year and I didn't get to it until today. I can't decide whether or not I would recommend it. It's an incredibly quick read because it's really short, so if you ever come across a copy of it, look it over.
I dream of the rosette bedspread from Anthropologie and I wish that I could afford it. I need a new bedspread, but they all look so ugly...or cost more than I'd like them to.
I also need a new (very used) car and money to fly to visit friends and family. I do love Philly, but my goodness- I miss my friends. I really do. I never call them and I pretend that I'm just far too busy, but it's partly the way it makes me feel sad when I get off of the phone.
I want my old friends to come over for a cup of tea and some fresh cookies, but since most of them are either in Chicago, Michigan, China, or France, it's probably not going to happen.
I bought some delicious tea in Charleston and I would like to share it.
In other news, the crocuses are finally blooming! They are blanketing the backyard once again. As soon as the (mini)flood waters subside, I will be able to revel in their beauty and the warmth of the sun. I do love the Spring because it offers such glorious relief from the oppressiveness of winter- this winter more than many others in the past. Autumn may be my ultimate favorite (apple crisps and scarlet leaves!) but Spring is certainly a dear friend.
Last night I had a dream that I found a door that would take me directly to China. I could go and spend time with friends there and then take the door right back to Philly. Kyle woke me up before I could find the door to take me to Vienna. That's what I was looking for. Apparently I got mad at him when he woke me up. I was so deep in sleep that I don't even remember that. :)
