At first, when I looked up from my book and out the window I was not happy with what I saw. I had hoped that winter was over for good. But once I had decided that I could put off taking Jemma for a walk no longer I put on my boots and took the dog outside. It is beautiful outside. The trees are all covered in at least an inch of snow and underneath are dark browns, and greens for the cedars. We had fun planning in the snow. I threw snow balls at her. She stole my hat and gloves and ran away with them. And I taught her a trick without even trying: I have discovered that if I lie on my knees with my hands over my head on the snow she'll run and jump over me. But whatever you do don't crouch down when she's running at full speed towards you. A charley horse for sure!
I don't think I will be getting my table top tonight :( I hate the snow again. I just want it to be green and warm and maybe I will feel a little bit better. I don't know why I feel so bad today but I spent the entire time either reading or watching TV. Oh and trying, without success, to sleep.
Nothing in store for tonight. Just dinner, if I decide to make it for myself, and a new episode of ghost whisperer.
It's funny that I am finally setting my room up to my needs. By September I will be gone and have no need for it anymore. Only on weekends and holidays when I come back will I be able to use my new desk/scrapbooking/beading station. I never felt like this wouldn't be my room. That this wouldn't be the place I came to spend my time, be alone, work on my projects. This is my room. The place I entertain. It's always been a place I invited people into but when I'm off at college that wont be anymore. And where better to see who I am, in my own element.
Oh well.
