We have company coming tomorrow. Because of it, the atmosphere in the house has the same feel as the time just before Christmas. The air is saturated with anticipation and excitement.

I'd try to translate all this to words, but my words have a certain effervescent quality to them just now. I try to catch them all shiny and opalescent, but they pop or float away.

This could take awhile.

I think I'll make some brownies.
