well, this is a much less important remembering, but a remembering nonetheless. here's the deal. i like writing. and i like the idea of a blog. i like the idea of writing every day. i like the idea of consistency (in me, that is). i like the idea of doing things that i have really been wanting to do.
it's just a matter of making those ideas happen. so, here i sat, doing nothing of any importance, and i remembered my blog. and i remembered how i sometimes remember it and think "ohh, i'll do that later. i have to have more time.." well. we know how well that goes.
so, here are my rememberings from today, at this very late hour:
-chilly farmer's market, picking out plants with my mom
-delicious, huge cup of chai tea with lovely company
-drizzly, cold rally to remind our governor that we have not forgotten, and we will not back down
-a quick, yet fruitful planting session in the rain....leading to very muddy shoes, very muddy gloves, and very muddy shovels...but the mess is half the fun of gardening, right? (actually, i don't really think so- but the feeling of accomplishment and pride in those lovely living things now happily sitting in the soggy Earth is not half bad.)
-some warm Chinese take out just in the nick of time for some reeeal hungry stomachs
-planning a trip to chicago coordinating car, train and el transportation...only to discover that i can't take the train after all...it takes too long, and i have to be back in time to babysit on monday afternoon. phooey.
-and then....ohh man, i think i've just been lost these past few hours- can't say i've done a thing productive. but at least i'll be tired when i awake in the morning, right? i mean, that must be the goal of such behavior...
