It's Sunday and I'm happy to be home putzing about doing what I do best. (My new bedroom windows allow the sun to tap me on the shoulder, waking me up. It's a sweet view, with the golden light coming up over the houses on the street. I'm surprised to be up so early, as last night we saw Paul Potts in concert. Not Pol Pot. LOL!!! The Nessun Dorma's were weep worthy. But truly my fave of the evening was Caruso...love that song!)
So...today I'll eat toast, drink tea, flip through my book, fret about my hair (Thursday's appointment seems so very far away!), attempt more unpacking.
I'll weed the yard, fuss over the kids, call my mum.
I'll make a dinner. (After I go to the grocery store and spend so much more money than is necessary because when I shop I'm a chef! I can go on T.V. and prepare culinary delights for the nation to envy and emulate! Taste buds will stop in their tracks! Faces will gaze upwards in praise singing...) It'll likely be a simple meal. Who am I kidding? It will likely have an avocado in there somewhere! Oh I've also been told there is far too much food being thrown away. We compost now, and well, let's just say our bin was overflowing this week! Egg shells and tea bags baby.
I'll nip out with some excuse or other with my foot to the floor (pedal to the metal baby) and gun it to some pretty location, camera in hand, hoping, wishing and praying for the right light! The right subjects! The right mood! And right when I'm about to snap the perfect photo my cell phone will ring and it will be my sweet husband asking me to pick up milk, and "How much longer do you think you'll be?"
Whatever Sunday brings you, whether you are washing your car (windex those inside windows, it makes for better night driving), making spaghetti bolognaise, watching Amelie, painting your toenails, chatting with your friend on the phone about closet organizers & the benefits of aioli sauce on a salmon burger...or just napping on the couch with the dog curled up behind your knees....do it with L O V E.
Have a lovely Sunday mon cheries!!!
p.s. Did you have to look up the post title? Perhaps you are a smarty pants and don't need to. (If so, good fa you!)

edit:
I'm sorry for the comment trouble guys. It should be fixed now. :)
Well, I have signed up for a Typepad account, but the link from my name will likely take you nowhere - they won't let me comment using my blogger account. Sigh. Just a note to tell you about my favorite burrito - avocado, bean & bacon. It doesn't get any better!

Happy Sunday morning to you, Gill. Its a lovely day in Chi-town as well. I hope your day unfolds in spectacular fashion, though I wish we were near enough to each other to share a cup o' tea. Here's to the day's adventures...and the right light. xoxo

You never fail to make me smile and realize how lovely life is. I tend to get down on things sometimes. Thanks for making me see the beauty again... as always.. such an inspiration you are. I think tomorrow I'll eat toast and drink tea... :)
