Surrounding me tonight as I sit at my kitchen-counter/office:
- The edition of Vanity Fair with newly-released photos of Marilyn M
- Three new books I picked up for Julia, but will have to read myself first because I'm such an awesome book-chooser
- The dishes that have been used and piled up on the counter since I started the dishwasher
- Newly-installed pantry with mirrored doors (you never know when you might be tempted to take a photo of yourself, or need to open a new jar of peanut butter)
- The thumb drive I put through the washing machine which may or may not be totally tanked but I'm loathe to find out about
- An empty wine glass and two-thirds of a Rogers Dark Chocolate with Caramel Filling bar---the balance must be restored!
- An avocado begging to be guacamoled
- My e-reader, just stashed
- Fifteen silver and/or crystal bracelets that keep needing rearrangement so that I can feel creatively justified
- The memory of a book I saw today telling the real story of Downton Abbey with glorious illustrations
- The phone which I should be using to catch up on my siblings
- The e-mails which none of my siblings have sent me which has caused me to need to phone them
- The melancholy which I'm feeling about not having seen Julia and Emma this week (I did get news of Phoebe, and had a visit from Robyn)
- The absolutely black and silent TV screen on which I had half-expected to watch Turner Classic Movies this evening
- And, just a click away, Facebook and Google+
Hi there -- just reading you on my Playbook on the front porch.
