Being across the country in a different time zone didnt seem to matter yesterday, but I woke up at 4 AM L.A. time. I tried to go back to sleep, but as I lay there I realized I was listening to the sound of freeway traffic. Then I realized, it had never stopped. It was really warm and I had slept with the windows opened, so I vaguely remember that constant sound. Eventually I got up and made coffee, having about four cups as I watched the sun slowly rise. I was so excited to be in California that I just wanted to hit pots and pans together or do anything to get the household up and the day started! I had brought some recipes with me thinking we could make sugar cookies and decorate them. So I sipped coffee and stared out at the beautiful mountains in the background and the tropical foliage in the foreground. It was quite a peaceful beginning. Oddly enough, the day was mainly spent in the grocery store, then preparing cookie dough and doing prep work for our Christmas dinner party. There was girl's time getting a mani and pedi, then we all played around creating new verses to the 12 days of Christmas and watching videos created from Thanksgiving family footage. There was much laughter, and somewhere, a new video in the making.
