life in words

As I sit here I am at a loss for inspiration to write anything overly creative; I have had a long week, and cannot wait for the family adventure that lies ahead in the next two days.  I know that I do have lot's of "life" stories and such that I could type out; however, I just think that the energy has just been spent on playing tea party and dancing "winga-way" with my more than inspirational toddler.

I will get into more of a groove with this whole "blogging" thing once I am in the fall routine I think.  There are just so many things going on and so much to do before I can sit down and let the creative juices flow.  I have several started both in electronic copy and in my head -- I think I just lack the dicipline to sit down on my free time to get things done.  Once my daughter gets into a more regular bedtime and the two-year-old molars are finally through, I should have a bit more free time as well.

I welcome tomorrow by closing my eyes and listening to my audiobook --- sets me off into my dreamy state that gives me inspiration for more of my fantasy stories.  And with this I will depart the blog, as I had to retype "fantasy" about four times before I got the word correct.  My brain has said good night and beckonning me to join it.

And a thank you also goes out to my friend Amanda Holliday, for making me look way better than I do; by using her skills she is learning in her diploma course from the New York Institute of Photography.  Her original photographs and photo edits can be found on her personal site, here:
