Feeling Rather Green Today...
...but at least it's not around the gills.
Good morning, Freaky Dahlings! I am up with the birds, so to speak, and enjoying a cup of wonderful organic-grown decaf-coffee loaded with fat-free creamer, Splenda of the Kroger brand variety, and sugar-free caramel syrup. Yu-hum!
Ah, but I remember the days of pure caffeinated bliss! I still succumb to fully-loaded java, but unfortunately I can't have as much of it as I wish. It has been wreaking some pretty serious havoc on my system lately. While I can tolerate the caffeine in sodas, the jam-packed coffee variety has to go.
Well, at least for a while; just try to keep me from a Starbucks during my next Barnes & Noble trip! You'll draw back a nub.
I've started re-reading one of my favorite on line journals, Aries Moon. Lucy is a very interesting personality, and after reading her journal for so many years I almost feel like I know her. She was the main reason I took the plunge into on line journaling. I've had several journals (now defunct), and the more recent blogs Perle Moon and, of course, Fully Caffeinated and Armed with Chocolate. While Lucy maintained the same diary for six years, I have noticed within myself that I change mine every year (or more, as the case has been of late). I don't necessarily feel like I outgrow them, but more or less they outgrow me. Each journal takes on a personality of its own, and when I can't "keep up" with that personality, I move on to one that suits me better at the time. Of course, the truth is that I'm probably waaaaaaaaaay over-analyzing all of this, but so what...it's my journal and I'll over-analyze if I want to.
Moving on: When Lucy closed shop on Aries Moon, I was pretty heart broken. Okay, I thought, what am I going to read now? Fortunately, the on line world of blogging and journaling has virtually exploded and there are a gazillion items to read out there, many of which are in the stitching and artist communities alone. However, imagine my delight to discover Lucy has created a new journal, Les Listes d'Athenais, of which I am nearly two years too late. Oh well...better late than never, no?
Well, I'm now off to drink more caramel-flavored decaf and tinker in some more over-analyzing. Have fun, y'all.
