Last night I told myself-
I would run in the morning.
Morning came-
Hit snooze once-
Twice-
About to go for round three-
When the most ridiculous country song woke me....
Nothing like a good wail and croon to get you out of bed.
I peeked out the window-
Not a snow day-
Kids would be bummed-
But it did look cold-
Bundle-
Out-
The sparkling ground distracts me-
I try to capture it's light.
But it can't be done.
I realize the cold is closing in-
My mind won't rest til I know just how cold this cold is-
This is New Mexico?
My mind is going a million directions-
Thinking about childhood Christmases in Minnesota-
Snow as tall as tall....
Then on to the realization that I have Christmas shopping left-
And mail to post-
And a camel costume to make-
Ackkkkk!
I fiddle with my phone-
Christmas music!
That's the ticket.
But all Pandora would give me were sad slow depressing Christmas-
Why is it when you're in the car you get obnoxious 'dance' Christmas,
But when you run its
This:
Or even better-
This:
It just wouldn't quit!
After the Vienna Boys Choir tried to serenade me,
I had to call it
And not a moment too soon-
Got a text from DH
