for Steph

I do realize that I have been long absent from my blog and my adoring readers. I apologize... with a confession. Lately I have just felt very low on creative juices. It's just one of those times when it seems that nothing in my brain is really flowing correctly. For those who don't know, I'm very busy lately growing a little baby in my belly. But little baby has also been making me mega sick. Something about 24 hour nausea and frequent vomiting and headaches and heartburn seem to steal the creativy energy... in fact, all my energy. However recently there has been a decrease in the sickness, and today I'm propped up at the kitchen table with a pouch of Capri Sun and a bowl of applesauce, good to go.

Currently in the background I have my new favorite song on repeat: Carrie Underwood's remake of I Told You So, featuring the original songwriter/singer, Randy Travis (who also happens to be one of my childhood heroes). My love for Randy Travis originally made me sceptical of this pretty young thing coming in and doing a redo of my hero's song. But it's beautiful. And she included Randy, which makes me really happy. Download it, your ears will be glad you did.

Also, I must let you know that it is currently snowing outside my window. Snowing. It's March 20. Yet there are big flakes falling out there. I love snow, but I'm a little ready for some spring. Not much, just a little. Is that too much to ask? Just a little bit of sunshine and flowers blooming and pretty green leaves and birdies singing in the trees... I know it will come. Someday.

Ok, my creative juices are running out again, and I need to save some juice for my next post, which, I promise will be sooner rather than later. Until then, hang in there!
