today looks like it's going to be lovely out--blue sky streaked with light white clouds, green grass, trees leaning and blurring in the wind. i'm the first one up this morning--at least, human wise. the cats have been up since well before me, awaiting my descent to the kitchen, and breakfast for them. upstairs i can hear dan moving around. it was nice to wake up to the sounds of birds trilling outside, and since it's the weekend, the hum of traffic was barely audible, if at all.
i don't know what's planned for today. yesterday was a fly-by-your-pants day. i got up early and drove around to some garage sales, found nothing of interest, and came home. collected dan and we went to wal-mart for a towel bar. it was so blase and mundane that it barely requires typing.
watched "hoodwinked" and "the family stone." the first was good but could have been a bit tighter; the second was surprisingly a crying movie--good but the balance between tears and laughter wasn't too even, and i would have called it a drama before a comedy.
and now today arrives, sunny and lovely, and i feel this pressing need to DO something--accomplish a task, walk in the woods, hit the farmer's market in st paul, just enjoy the weather. it's so rare to have good weather in minnesota springtime, as it's been raining for weeks. i'm sure this will lead to blistering heat for summer, and stock up the ponds and lakes for mosquitos. yuck.
at any rate, that's the normality of this saturday morning here in minnesota. lounging in pajamas, typing about the normalcy of the a.m., and planning for a good bit of nothing.
today, thus far, is a beautiful day.

Did you mean Hoodwinked the animated movie? I saw that with my youngest and it was a hoot since I had watched XXX on TV just the night before. That made it much funnier than it would have been otherwise.
I went to see The Family Stone with my friend right after Christmas because we had both been under a lot of stress due to illnesses with our parents. Her mom had just been diagnosed with breast cancer and my dad has early onset dementia. We figured it would be good for a laugh. Well as you guessed it the movie did nothing to cheer us up and we left with very red noses.
And... we did stuff.
Got out. New places. Celebrated a birthday. All in all, not so bad, eh?
it sounds like a wonderful day to me. the fact that you have woods nearby to walk in is so cool. life is good.
Great post - so atmospheric - just another day, but you record it all really well - I can almost smell the breeze.
