DANG IT’S COLD! For one day and one day only (thank goodness) spring has disappeared from the Ozark Mountains and winter has returned. Rude this time of year, don’t you agree?
This morning I am trying to summon the will to unbury myself from my cozy, warm bed. The coffee pot in my Dairy Hollow room is waaaaaaaaay over there. See it sitting on top of that little refrigerator?
Between here and there spreads several feet of icy concrete. And my feet are bare. If only I had genie powers…
As a kid, if someone granted me one wish and I could have been anyone—real, imagined, dead, alive, rich, famous—anyone, I would have chosen Jeannie, from the 1970s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. I loved everything about her. The way her blonde ponytail bounced when she blinked and performed magic, her dreamy outfit that showed off her curvy body, her super groovy bottle decorated inside like…well, like a genie’s bedroom should be decorated with poofy pillows and sheer fabric and low lighting.
And Major Nelson? ohh la la. He was cute before he became an evil oil baron.
Alas I am not Jeannie, and I must make my own magic. Right now I’m gonna make coffee.
Happy Tuesday everyone!

Winter is back in Texas too. Hope you are getting lots of writing time in the Ozarks and time for mediation. Have fun.
I am! I’m working on my second book:)) Really into it.
Second book? Yay! When will we be able to see the first one?
I was hoping for end of year. May take a bit longer. Writers must be patient. Ugh.
What I wouldn’t give to have some powers of my own!! So much to do… so little time!
I love that show! I have always dreamed of having that hair as well. Maybe in a few years for my fortieth birthday, I’ll have extensions put in…as for the curvy body…I may have to start working on that now to achieve those kinds of results. 😉 Maybe you need some footy pjs so you will never have this dilemma again.
That’s a loooong way to walk when it’s cold!
Mother Nature certainly has been rude this year!
I would contend that coffee IS magic. Or at least alchemy. Although I don’t like it myself, if you think about its origins and what all you have to do to it to make it drinkable, it’s amazing. So enjoy doing the most magical thing most of us can actually accomplish: a good cup of coffee. 🙂
(Also, that whole thing of putting words on a page and making people want to keep reading them. That’s pretty magical.)
I agree Gary, coffee is magical. And the fact that people read what I put on the page…I call it amazing.
Couldn’t you just jump a few times on the bed, gather momentum, and landing right in front of the fridge? sounds reasonable to me.
In related news: You have a fridge in your bedroom??? (Love this idea).
Ooooh good idea. I may try that tomorrow morning:)
PS. Want to see the flowers?

Yeah what happened with this weather? Shorts and a t-shirt on Sunday, then turning on the heater Tuesday here in Texas!
I don’t know. Crazy!
