Getting Up To Mischief

O man, I am sooo glad we no longer use leaches for ... well anything. I just read a book where the main character had leaches put on her eye to get rid of some really bad bruising. I think I almost had a fit. I don't know if I've said before how descriptions of graphic violence doesn't much bother me to read in books unless it is on the hands. Well, same goes for the eyes, eek! But, on to my week.
Hmm, where to begin, maybe I'll work my way backwards. Well, Since technically Saturday was yesterday I can safely say absolutely nothing happened except that i read about three books. Otherwise I was sleeping. Yes, I actually slept through the whole day Saturday and hated it. Friend of mine called; most exciting thing since Friday so all in all not the best day, but ah well they can't all be grand
Friday I went to a party for One of the Main ladies who does the after school program I had been doing my internship with. It was very nice and there was quite a good number of people there. Mostly I was glad to be out of my room, since I hadn't been outside since Wednesday (shameful i know) heehee
Tuesday I went over a friends house and we made Cakeballs; a recipe I got from another blog I'm following. ... They were AMAZING! I'm so glad she thought it was a good idea to try them out too because I had been wanting to make them and trying to figure out how I was going to do it. I have only just finished mine *sigh* sad to see them go. O yes and of course I got to play with her cat before we got started. He's a very friendly cat who likes to cuddle which is fun because so do I.
I've been up to some other stuff too, but nothing really worth reporting--at least for this week anyway. So I was looking back over my posts a little bit ago and realized that I never got back about the stone clay. Well,I think it feels a little like stone in certain sculptures, but not much in others. It also breaks very easily, but I think I like it so far. I've only made one pin, but it turned out fine. At first I thought it was a bit heavy, but it turned out alright.
so, it is almost four in the morning and the sun is coming up. Of course it no longer comes through my windows this early *sad face* but it is getting lighter out. I'm going to see if I can't get some sleep before church. Wouldn't want to fall asleep in church now would I. Especially since I sit up front.
Good night my lovely friends--or more accurately good morning :D

Pleasing Start To a Day

Sun beams dance upon the window sill, bright with the new day.
They leap onto the bed where the girl lays and play over her face and hair;
hair that streams like a wild thing over the pillow.
The eyes open, smile.
She stretches long and languidly, then swings down from the bed.
Warm floorboards curl her toes and she makes a humming sound not unlike a cat's pur in her throat.
She stands there for a while soaking in the comforting light.
Then she is off to begin her day.

The Happy Place

Early in the morning when the sun begins to make its rounds, it makes a happy and most welcome stop by my own window for awhile. If I am awake early enough and can afford the luxury of laying in bed for an hour or two, I get to enjoy it. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I truly truly truly love the sun. It is true , I have a fascination with snow and all things frozen water or vapor, but the sun is in my soul.
When the sun smiles on nature and turns the snow in to so many tiny crystals, or the rain to falling diamonds it is like a fairy world. With out the sun I feel lost and somewhat shriveled up inside. When I am there on my bed, with the sun calling at my window, it is my happy place. I can contemplate God's creation, or the rest of my day or even the rest of my week, and there is always calm.
Some mornings are cloudy or dreary and this tends to affect my whole day. Not that I will be in a nasty mood toward everyone for seemingly no reason, but I am never entirely as happy as I am with a visit from the sun; my own friend Phoebus

Sun Patch

Today I found a patch of sun while I was walking across the living room floor. Naturally I curled up and lay in it; soking up my vitamin D. It made me think of cats and dogs and how it must feel to have the sun warm their fur. My sun patch moved, more's the pitty, but I'm still warm from it. No wonder cats spend so much of their time lying in the sun. I think i want to write something on that subject. Hmm, I wonder should I make a cat now or something else? I've sewn cats before, but I've always wanted to make one with stripes or spots. Guess it depends on what fur I have in my bin right now. I'll try and put the pic here ifI end up making it.
