Smartie

I married such a brilliant Mr Renn.

Today was gloomy in so many ways. The sun only teased me for 20 minutes this morning, then he went missing. It felt like it was about to rain all day, only it didn't. You know that awful feeling of anticipating something that never comes?

Unfortunately my constitution is such that I am easily swayed by the weather. Gloomy weather= Gloomy Emily. So the sadness from yesterday plus the gloom from today and I was royally stuck in a sad muddy rut. I could barely see straight I was so depressed.

Mr Renn ran about town to do some errands and he brought me some flowers. Feeling gloomy and receiving flowers are totally contradictory, so the one booted the other out of my little head. Now there's just the residual sad spots, but that's as it should be.

Today I started a quilt made from upholstery scraps. We'll have to see how it goes. If it's up to par it may turn into a baby shower gift. (I've got about a million baby showers coming up...) I think a baby would like all the fun textures that are getting hodged together.

The search for happy thoughts keeps my head above water.... and now that it's finally raining perhaps I'll go get cozy and create some in the kitchen.... Chocolate cake, anyone?
