I've been awake since 5 A.M. this morning... I woke up during the rolling end of a thunderstorm,. uncomfortable, achy, and somehow sad. Perhaps my dreams left me stranded with melancholy emotions that they didn't know how to deal with. I spent the past three hours trying to come up with a design and concept for a new blog. This will be the fourth blog I've started. The other three had specific themes because those are the types of blogs people like to read. But the fact is that I'm scatterbrained... my thoughts bounce around like gummy bears and one moment I want to write about this then post pictures about that. So this is a sanctuary from trying to write what other people want me to write and this is just a place for me to babble my head off if I so wish.
If you are curious as to the title of the blog... I wanted a title that was in reference to my name, but but not too obvious; intelligent, but simple. So here were my thought streams...
My name is Laura.
It means "Crowned with laurel leaves"
Romans crowned their victors with these leaves
Poet Laureates...
Petrarch was a poet and his muse was a woman named "Laura".
I want to do something related to laurel leaves for with historical and literary significance
I want it to be simple
Another term for a laurel leaf is a bay leaf
Bay Leaves... you cook with bay leaves, I like to cook
Do something with Bay Leaves.
_______ of Bay Leaves
House of Leaves.... House of Bay leaves...
House of Bay Leaves.
So there you have it. I don't know if other people's minds work like that... swinging from thought to thought by clinging onto obscure references for branches.
I'm tired. The birds are chirping and it's daylight... such an unnatural time to sleep. So I will be unnatural.
