I love semi-rainy days.
1. I don't feel guilty for not being outside mowing yard.
2. I like catching up on things indoors, like dusting.
3. Rain makes it feel cozy inside.
4. Coffee tastes better.
5. A second cup tastes as good as the first one.
6. Who wants to iron clothes on a sunshiny day?
(actually, who wants to iron clothes at all, sunshine or rain?)
7. Some Celtic music sounds better on rainy days.
I dusted the living room today, and it may sound funny, but I enjoyed it. I like decorating and rearranging, and dusting gives that opportunity, even if it is just in how a picture or candle is positioned. Sometimes, it doesn't take much to make me feel inspired.
Of course, watching HGTV while dusting may have had something to do with feeling creative. I am trying to imagine myself hosting a design show. . .
"Hi, I'm Dianne, you're decorating goddess."
Umm, no.
"I'm Dianne and I am here to redesign and rejuvenate your space."
(because what you have already is ugly, boring, and outdated in a nonvintage kind of way.)
Maybe.
"Do you want a space that makes a statement about who you are? A space that inspires you to be who you have always wanted to be? A space that is uniquely you? I'm Dianne and I am here to make that happen."
Okay, I could go with that.
But wait, they say the camara makes you gain 20 pounds. I would need to lose that much before putting myself on TV. And I don't really like my voice. So maybe TV is not the place for me. But, a magazine, maybe. . .
After the dusting and dreaming is done, I am tackling the ironing (or is it tackling me?), which is going to lead into organizing (again) my sewing corner. I have some pants to hem for a friend and I need to be able to reach the sewing machine.
And what better day to do it than on a semi-rainy Monday?
After a third cup of coffee that is.
Hey, I gotta have energy to iron.
Love,
Dianne
