Oh man. Great day.
I woke up and made coffee and put in "Coyote Ugly". I organized my craft box (which is three-drawers and unruly). It looks amazing - I didn't realize I had like, half of the stuff that is in there! :) Then I went rollerblading. Yay. Then I sat and watched TV with my brother for a little while, and we listened to country music. Then I went to the bank, and when I got back I realized that I was not in the mood to do anything productive; however, I took today off to clean/pack/organize, so I did a little of that. When I finished that I went outside and laid a blanket down on the grass in the backyard and grabbed an iced tea, the dog, and my book (St. Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox by G.K Chesterton) and sat in the sun for a while, reading. It was amazing...the weather was perfect and the sun was so warm. I fell asleep for a while until my mom woke me up by screaming at me to make sure I wasn't dead. (not exaggerating, she said "Oh my gosh. I thought you were dead") I could have done without that part...not exactly the most positive thing to wake up to. Sheesh. Anyway, it was still wonderful. Then I made dinner. Ravioletti Carbonara with Prosciutto. It was delicious. I love cooking. I don't know why I love it so much. I guess for the same reason as I love baking and cleaning - I like being domestic when I don't necessarily have to. :) If it were my responsibility to put food on the table every night, I might not love it...however, since I can just do it at random and make it enjoyable...I love it. Believe me, it makes sense to me. ;)
So my brother is now into country music, and I love it. We drove around listening to Brad Paisley tonight and he was singing along and even said "Ohhh, nothing like banjo". It's wonderful. I knew it would come to him...we've got country in our genes (or at least, hillbilly...).
Well, tomorrow is packing day, since today was evidently slacking day. Harrumph.
I miss Loras. A lot. Only 2 days. 2 days too long.
Caritas et veritas.
