today, i have been

a night owl ~ an absent daughter ~ a silent sister ~ a faraway grand-daughter ~ a part-time wife ~ a poet ~ a reader ~ a looker-on ~ a passer-by ~ a listener ~ a picker-up of overthrown pots ~ a singer-along ~ a non-teaching teacher ~ a receiver of an acceptance note ~ a customer ~ a photographer ~ a woman ~ a girl ~ a deleter of junk mail ~ a worrier ~ a viewer of newborn-fanny pics ~ a blogger ~ a dreamer ~ a wannabe hiker ~ a sun worshipper ~ a procrastinator
tired ~ quiet ~ unfocused ~ solitary ~ creative ~ weak ~ honest ~ indecisive ~ calm ~ relaxed ~ frustrated ~ happy ~ interested ~ concentrated ~ uncharitable ~ prejudiced ~ right ~ wrong ~ confirmed in some opinions ~ critical ~ hopeful ~ thirsty ~ self-conscious ~ a little melancholy ~ full ~ attentive ~ surprised
and aware of the fact that what looks like still-summer, is not quite that anymore. it's in the cool evenings, the four a.m. chill, the smell of the wind, the quality of afternoon light, the colour of berries on bushes.

One of my all-time favorite songs. It's sexy and soothing at the same time.

I love your lists. You're a very well-rounded individual, Michi! And that baby? SWEET. Almost makes me feel those baby pangs again.

sharon - there are some things missing from the list today: i spent the day alone, my husband had left for work before i woke up, and he is not back yet. i did not talk to any friends either. i am not working this week. so, usually, there would also be: a friend, a wife, chatty, funny, a caller, a clown (esp with my husband). maybe some other time.

fanny, yes, she looks sweet. shame i cannot visit her. she lives in northern sweden ...

thanks for stopping by & hope you feel better.

the baby's so cute! can't wait to have another niece/nephew in march.

you looked really *good* behind bars. i keep wondering: why did you leave your natural habitat?

*snicker*
