{colin practicing his egg cracking techniques with 8 out dated eggs}
this is today.the sun was playing hide-n-go-seek with us this morning as we drove up the hill to school. the sky was divided in two by an imaginary line separating the dark blue night clouds from the light blue early sky. we could not even see a shadow of a ray at this time although we could feel her presence - somewhere - like a pair of eyes watching you as you sneak an additional cookie out of the jar. it is so windy that the sprinklers were watering the clouds, the ponds were trying to keep the water from running away and the van was swaying despite the double hand hold. the chairs in the backyard gave up early and turned themselves over long before the miniblinds blinked open. the ground was still spotted with rain drops from an early morning thunderstorm and the grass was still holding the water as mini rain bubbles ready to burst.
one meeting cancelled at work and i was a girl with a block of 3 hours unscheduled.
what to do with found time?
so many options.
it felt like a mini snow day.
i wondered the card aisles at hallmark without a list.
i tested all the lotions at bath & body works without buying a thing.
i browsed the shelves and racks at marshells just because i could.
i purchased a starbucks coffee and grabbed a stack of books at barnes & nobles and just looked.
i checked out the new joannes in case i have a late evening craving for yarn, fabric or paper.
i checked out all the new releases at the redbox without anyone standing behind me.
i walked around walgreens in search for the perfect drink for 2pm on a thursday.

no goals.
just looking.
just thinking.
just recharging.
