Good Morning
Upon waking far too late this morning, my nose discovered the smell of baking bread. The whole house has the scent of it. My bedroom is on the opposite side of the house and one story up from the kitchen, so that wonderfully saturated air traveled a long way to find me. I'll take that as a nice little gift to start my day. Thank you.
I've been awake exactly one hour and despite the rain and gloom outside, shiz is getting done. The never ending mountains of dirty dishes that seem to NEVER go away have shrunk somewhat, iced tea is steeping, coffee is being consumed, and most of my ritualistic webcrawl is about over.
Of course, I'm behind with my decorating, but I've decided not to care too much about that. Yes, I'm having a small party in a little over a week and my hostess persona is trying to control my life, but fuck it. Christmas and friends and good times is about joy, not stressing if there are enough forks, fairy lights, or ribbons and pearls for MY comfort. Right? Okay, so I second guess my priorities a bit much, and I'll try to appease the tyrannical hostess bitch screaming at me just enough to say I did (I can't seem to help myself), but I'm going to have fun instead of obsessing. How 'bout that?!
I'd also like to welcome theotherbecky to my f-list and also thank her for adding me to hers. LiveJournal seems to be waning in popularity due to the frenzy of Twitter and Facebook requiring little thought and short attention span, but I still consider this to be my home--a neglected one yes, but STILL my favourite space. I promise to start showing more love beginning today. Not next week or after Christmas or even as a resolution to bring in the new year, but right now.
