gray

today it is very gray outside. (or do you like to spell it grey better? i can't decide.) i am not so much for the dreary days when all of the world seems washed over with a layer of gr(e/a)yishness; it feels very melancholy to me, and as much as there is a time and place for woe, i prefer the sort of morning when the light is streaming in through the windows, waking you up, pulling you outside. 

today seems a bit blah.

the upside is that little m and i just hung out for almost an hour and a half in my bed, playing under the covers and being silly. sometimes i was maybe resting an itsy bit, with an eye or two closed, but we were playing all the same. i am not a couch potato - we don't even own a tv, but i do like to snuggle in bed; it is practically one of my favorite things. i hope to groom little m to be a world class bed hanger-outer-in. anyway, it's making me happy this morning that we were cozy and fun, so now to plan things for the rest of the day to banish the grey away...

this funny blog?

a long walk with m in the stroller and a warm, but not itchy, scarf

cute things on etsy like this and this or maybe this

grilled cheese + soup (my favorite yucky day meal)

fold lots of laundry into neat little stacks and then put it all away

a trip to goodwill (purging random stuff feels extra good + you never want to do a boring errand like that on a nice day)

write super belated thank you notes while drinking some hot tea and looking out at matt's winter garden

a visit to see new baby judah, little m's newest boyfriend (she literally is robbing the cradle- bad joke, i know; sorry, i couldn't resist)

work on finishing some valentine's day card ideas up for papyrus

crawl around on the floor with little m
