Just finished reading a wonderful post from Life in the Expat Lane. First the article had me laughing out loud because it was funny, then it had me laughing rather hysterically because I have writer's block and can't write (who gets writer's block on the second line, of the first paragraph, of a short story... really). Anyway, realizing that I sound like a crazy person, I took a deep breath, pictured the water on my beautiful Monterey bay and am now willing the sailboat in the picture to take me away. On a brighter note, how was your 4th of July celebration? Saturday, we watched the fireworks display and caught the midnight showing of Eclipse (it was my husband's idea, I swear). Sunday, we spent the day at the beach with my mother-in-law and niece Delinah. Thank God we spent the night, because Monday morning, Tommy's mom whipped up the best breakfast in the world. I woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs, potatoes, tortillas, coffee, chili cheese soup with tomatoes, jalapenos and big chunks of white cheese. I'm gaining weight just thinking about it, but that breakfast, put a smile on my face that lasted all day. It's now Tuesday, and again I'm smiling because I just remembered that sitting in my refrigerator is the best cake in the world. A fluffy chocolate chiffon with coffee cream frosting baked by my wonderful Aunt Bee. I guess thinking happy thoughts or in my case about food, does help because right now I'm not stressing over my writing. I realize of course that this post is far from polished (and I still do have a two sentence short story to finish) but this blog is about thoughts, feelings and conversations, not grammar and punctuations (though I am working on mine I promise).
While I'm in a cheesy mood and not writing too well lately, I thought I'd at least post a photo of us at the beach. The figure to our left is of Delinah, busy scavenging for shells. Among the treasures she brought home were; a crab claw (taken from our dinner), and a picture of a permanently sleeping baby seal (who is now in seal heaven).
