SOC: Sunday Anticipation
Thank you for SOC Sunday. I have been avoiding posting because the most interesting thing that has happened to me this week was I installed a bird feeder and the birds are not flocking to it. (UPDATE: Now they are!)
Anticipation is the prompt for today. I was going to write about staring at said bird feeder but decided on this instead…
This is a funny prompt because every year when I get back from vacation it feels like the summer it over for me and I just want fall and the cool weather to get here. This is unusual for me because I am not crazy about the fast passage of time. I am one of those anxiety ridden individuals who seems to live and die by the clock (and weather channel…come on…it’s how I figure out what to cook on a weekly basis). I have been trying to get over that part of me. I think it goes back to being a kid and DREADING going back to my private all girls catholic school where the nuns were scary and the uniforms were double knit polyester. I used to think as we left the Cape all I would have to go through and it was depressing. Coming home signaled the end of summer. Now that we go in July instead of August, I think I am selling my summer short. I should be enjoying the hot, humid, sticky weather. I should enjoy sticking to the seat in my car. Yeah…no…bring on fall and sweaters that hide a multitude of sins (cheese being a big one).
