As I sit in my living room to
write this, I am literally cold, to the point of considering whether it’s worth
it to dig through my winter suitcase for long sleeves! I know that I am quite sensitive to cool air
(a self-proclaimed wimp J). I am not
complaining though! Today was so nice
compared to the recent heat, a definite relief and excitement for what is to
come.
I decided to try my hand at baking
in Spain, and I searched the internet for my victim, I mean, recipe. J I made an apple coffee cake, and it turned
out really well! I actually enjoyed the
shopping for and preparing of it, and it’s such a nice surprise to come home to
a clean kitchen after the experience. I
just need to keep that in mind for those times when I don’t do the dishes
while my food is cooking!
Tonight I played Hearts with some
friends, and it was so much fun. I love
games, and I haven’t gotten to play much lately. My family has always been a big “game family,”
even with my great-grandmother dominating us in Skipbo. I have many great memories involving games of
various sorts with family and friends… Spades in junior high with the guys, Phase
10 and Apples to Apples with my college friends, Rummy with my family
(especially Alec as of late), Balderdash with the fam, and countless games of Scrabble with my mom.
I can honestly say I don’t recall
the last time I laughed to the point of tears, and it happened multiple times
tonight during our dinner and card playing.
It brings so much joy to be able to laugh with others. I definitely agree with the saying: “Laughter
is good medicine.”
