Overcast Bliss

I'm a strange person. I love overcast days. In actuality, I suppose there are a number of people who enjoy a drizzly day even if they won't admit it. But, for me, a gloomy day gives me a sense of calm that I never fail to appreciate. Too many gloomy days in a row can be overwhelming, but, in general, a rainy day is welcome in my world.

So, not only is today such an overcast wonder, but it is also the first day I have experienced the new found, free Wi-Fi at Barnes and Noble. Add this place to my roster of computer-outing hot spots. Love it. Could my day be any better? Doubtful, unless Matthew Fox strolled in right now, spotted me, and sat with me for a good hour-long chat. He would notice me, you know. We are both from Wyoming and that makes us two of a kind.

Anyway, the other night, I saw the movie Julie and Julia (or the other way around?). For a movie title that's so confusing, it was a quaint and refreshing flick. Beyond the fact that Meryl Streep made an honestly fabulous Julia Childs, the film also inspired me to get into my blog again...while it also reminded me how narcissistic blogging is. I really have no clue if anybody short of my family reads my blog, but I find blogging therapeutic and fun nonetheless. Way to go, Hollywood, for pushing me to be all that I can be. Maybe?

This afternoon, I am going to return an incredibly overdue movie to the store from which I rented it, chat with my roommate who just returned from overseas, lie down for a nap, ponder the graciousness of God, and prepare myself for another week at school. That's a lot to do on one rainy day where nothing but reading, sipping warm liquids, and snoozing sounds appealing.

Until next time...
