It looks like spring has finally arrived to Colorado. The weather is warmer, the gorgeous yellow wonder of forsythia is out in full force and I have the antsies. Of course, the antsies lead to doing too much – like 2 hours of latin dancing last night in new dance shoes. Doing too much leads to soreness… Yep, it must be spring!

At least we can count on our unconscious mutterings. This weekly exercise is truly my favorite thing every week. Please do play.

How do you play? Easy. Just fill out the word prompts (created by the lovely and talented Pea at LunaNina) in the comments. When you finish take a look at what other’s have written. You’ll be amazed at the wonderful similarities and differences between each of us.

Let’s play! Here are your word prompts:

1. Habit ::
2. Relaunch ::
3. Mondays ::
4. Bootstrap ::
5. Funk ::
6. Appreciate ::
7. Yay! ::
8. Life ::
9. Sheets ::
10. Date night ::

Summer Sundays! I’m not sure there’s anything better. The weather here has been delicious – warm, but not too warm with cool nights. Of course, almost every conversation turns to ‘Will we have an early winter?’  Until the snow actually drops, the bees hybernate and the garden declines, I’m going to enjoy the warm as much as I can.

Of course, I’ll start my Sunday with a little unconscious maintenance. What is that? Unconscious Mutterings of course. These little word prompts (created by the lovely Pea at LunaNina) have magical powers.
