I’d Rather Be Hibernating

February 14th, 2007



Today it snowed, and snowed, and sleeted. Our first real snow of the season. My boss's flight was cancelled this morning, but I think they made it out tonight. School was cancelled, so the girl was home. And me, I wished I could cancel everything in the upcoming week, the extra work, the babysitting for my mom, all of it. But unfortunately, the only things that got cancelled were the things I was looking forward to: going to see a house and Valentine's day dinner. The realtor had to cancel because of the weather and I asked the fiansor if we could postpone Valentine's Day til Sunday night when I get home. The roads are really yucky out here in the boonies.

I wasn't feeling particularly anxious today, more tired and bored than anything else, a lot of sitting around with the boss while she waited between flights. *yawn* The snow makes me want to hole up under ten pounds of blankets, drink hot chocolate and watch movies with my kitties and the fiansor. No such luck. However, I am feeling grateful that the girl has gone to bed, one of the dogs is by my side, and some fun shows are coming on tonight. Ah, and the fiansor just called and we had a nice conversation. Feeling more relaxed.

I read part of Finding Water this morning and I'm excited for the process. I've got a new journal started and I plan to collage the cover soon (I think it's fun to decorate the cover of each journal, often times with collage.)

Happy Valentine's Day. I'm sending love out to you and you and yes, you. xoxox

i wish i could hibernate, too…it’s not even snowing here. i’d say it’s cold, but i then you would roll your eyes at me because i live in the south. ;)

Happy Valentine’s to you too!! And I hope that you get your chance to hibernate sometime soon. I feel for you. It sucks to be away from the comforts of home. Especially when you’re tired out. There’s been so much going on in your life these past couple weeks. I hope you get some serious downtime very, very soon!

I love ya,
j.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you, Leah! xo

Oh! I love collaging inside and outside new journals.

p.s. Your art work is stunning and inspiring!

I can relate to having anxiety about life…and just finding it tough to keep up.
I am glad the axiety is loosening it’s hold a bit.

I love the photos below. I am hiding this one of your kittie from Maggie because then she will never get off my lap!

Oh, I just had an idea! Ethan is off from school next week. maybe we can take an Artist date together? I know they are suppose to be alone, but I get little time alone.

XO,

hi there! I was reading back a few posts and I found that GORGEOUS piece of artwork of the woman with the long, long hair – what a beautiful piece! I loved it! Then I saw on your sidebar that you are reading the Red Book – I just posted about that book – I’m loving it! Are you??

Hope hibernation goes well!!

Hibernation sounds glorious to me, too!

Wow Leah!
I know that many people relate your posts, but as I am reading I see many of my feelings staring back at me…The winter blahs, the feeling of hibernating. Us artistic, super sensitive folk expend a lot of energy getting through this wintery months. Even though it is supposed to be 10 degrees tonight, at 8:07pm it will officially be spring and I will be raising my hot chocolate mug to that!!!!!
