Ahh Sunday
Today I began the day by waking up to a beautiful morning feeling well rested. I woke up much later then the usual time, I felt great but was disappointed to later find out that it was daylight savings and we had jumped ahead an hour. I yawned stretched and cuddled back up to my memory foam pillow. Sometimes during the night I wake up and flip my pillow over to expose the cold side, snuggle back into my covers and fall back asleep. Many years ago I had two pillows one that I would put against the cold wall and switch out the pillows through the night. I love cold pillows. Finally I climbed out of bed and put on my robe. Robes are a life essential people, spend the money on a good one, the kind you want to put on. I prefer 100% Kashwere Chenilla you won't go back to cotton I can assure you. I sauntered around the house posing in my robe. The best way to truly enjoy a sunday morning is standing majestically at a window overlooking the scenery with a small glass of apple juice, preferably watered down to a 50/50 mixture and poured into a frosted brandy glass. Sadly the only view I can enjoy is my neighbors house and back yard, a busy street, the roof of a shopping center, and a rotting fence. So I just look up and into the sky to get the same feeling of tranquility. I looked for breakfast and munched into 3 different bowls of cereal, Raisin Bran Crunch (too sweet), Honey Cluster Melody w/almonds (perfect mixture of flavor), and Grape Nuts (my favorite only after sitting in milk for a little bit so it doesn't feel like chewing on gravel). Unlike my usual sunday morning I have my Sister Whitney in town with her second child Kaden, he was very happy and pleasant this morning. I got to talk baby to him and play with his face. He had an eye goober that dangled off the end of his eye lash, it bugged the heck out of me! I got scared that I would poke his eye every time that I went for it, so there it sat, third eyelash from the right, on his left eye swaying back and forth till he left for church with his mom. Then the house was quiet I gathered up my robe bottoms and ran to the basement grabbed my computer and began watching videos of the devastation in Japan. I pondered about what I could do to help as I was mesmerized by the videos of 20 and 30 foot waves carrying cars, houses and debris through the costal cities. Unbelievable sights that are instantly posted before the news crews can even gather a story. Then I got bored and watched some videos on Dump.com a family friendly video site. I watched a man who created a static electric adhesive so I thought of ways to play with static electricity. Possibilities of printing and artwork incorporating different natural forces. I finally went to church and got a girls number! cause I'm single and thats what I do. I enjoyed church I sat down and sang the hymns. I thought it would be funny to sing loudly and no one would know, except for the fact that there aren't many people in church and I was heard loud and clear. I didn't now all the words and mumbled a few lines. All is accepted in the lords house, is how I look at it. I got to see friends that I hadn't seen in a while, we talked and laughed. I told them about my life and they theres. I miss them I wish school wasn't so consuming. I got home and was quickly taken off to down-town Salt Lake to spend some time with my cousins. We have a lot of family in town, my dear Uncle Joe Passed away. He had down syndrome and lived a fantastic 53 years. He is survived by 54 of his nieces and nephews, a 95 year old amazing mother and all 10 of his siblings. He is finally able to give his father a hug and talk to him after 14 years. I loved my uncle Joe and it was a pleasure that I was able to make a video of his life. The pictures don't do justice, you just had to meet him. Today was a good day and I'm very happy to know that my uncle Joe is with Grandpa Max his father. I'm blessed to have his name and be a part of a wonderful legend, the Tennant family.
