High Tea

Today I ran a bunch of errands and wound up coming home with a few more things than I’d anticipated. Among those things was a Snow White tea set.



My three-year-old niece loves all things Snow White. I don’t know why. She’s never even seen the Disney film. Still, her toothpaste, toothbrush, tricycle, pretend cell phone, underwear—and now her first tea set—are all adorned with the image of the raven-locked maiden. I don’t even think she knows the Seven Dwarves exist.



Watching my niece play with her tea set makes me long for years past. We had a tea party this afternoon. We filled the teapot with water and she daintily filled my teacup. She spooned tiny droplets of “sugar” from the little plastic sugar bowl and sweetened my tea.



I instantly thought back to my tea parties. I have a much older sister, so I primarily had stuffed animal guests for my tea parties. The action figures and Barbies’ schedules were a little too busy for the affairs.



Ah, to be three.



Fiction update later this week.

Fiction Update

Did some writing this week-- joy! Although interestingly, none of it was for SJL or "Looking Glass". I actually wrote three skits for the show I'm working to produce for my college tv station. I'm proud of myself-- that's a pretty prolific week, for someone like me. I still have plenty more to go, too, so let's hope I can keep it up.

I've been getting to sleep earlier these days, which I'm hoping will open up the opportunity for me to squeeze some writing in early in the morning. I mean, check it out-- it's already February, and I haven't done any of the things I said I would. Heck, if I'd followed my plans, I'd be just starting the editing stages for SJL by now. Change takes time, I know, but it's nice to know that I'm actually starting to get there.

This post was mostly for the sake of making sure I keep up with this blog. I've got to admit, I'm slightly disappointed that it's not turning out the way I want it to. I'm not really discouraged, though-- again, these things take time.

Well, that's all for now. I really hope I manage to get iPhoto figured out! Peace and love.
