self portrait: food and me

This is one of my favorite moments of the day. I mentioned in a previous post that I eat the same thing for breakfast everyday. The food somehow contributes to the perfection of the space in time, so I don't dare change a thing.

A great deal happens in my house before this moment. In the early hours of the morning, the girls need a lot from me. Inadequate sleep weighs down my eyelids and l blindly maneuver through the house attempting to kick-start the family's day. Finally I am able to plop down at the table, tuck my knees into my chair and take a sip of coffee. I love breakfast.

And though I am a girl who usually appreciates a clean line, I kind of like how round and circular my breakfast appears to be. More self portraits here.

Sounds divine. I love sneaking a peak into your little world, although it makes me miss you terribly.

Bon a petite!

I had English muffins this morning, too! A treat for me for working at home (normally, I have oatmeal at work). I love the circles in your life, both literal and figurative. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not a English muffin kinda gal. But I do love the great elegant simplicity of your photo. I wish I had time to stay in my jammies and eat breakfast in the morning and relax.

if I were one of the reviewers on SPC, I would display this one. I LOVE all the curves - mug, muffins, table, your knees. It's so well composed and the story really adds depth.
BRAVO!

I, too, am an english muffin girl. So tasty. I wish I had some and I'd go fix one right now! I need to go to the store so bad it isn't even funny.

I looked for those muffins at the store to branch away from Thomas's but couldn't find them?

I'm scared of SPC- I do not like pictures of myself at all!

I like your pajama pants- sometimes I wear mine all day!

Just looked at today's date and I think it's your birthday if I am remembering correctly? Happy Birthday Christy!

Happy Birthday! You should rediscover your respect for acting. Love

So beautifully composed!

I remember those mornings when my children were small - the eventual quiet after I got them all off was bliss.

I'm new to SPC - nice to meet you.
