the week in review: january 11-17

spent the week thinking but not doing what i needed to do, instead there was hat making, pho eating, hanger painting with a little celebrating thrown in. the boy a-go-go turned seven so we headed up the coast to hang out with family and spend a lazy weekend hunting for aliens, eating corn dogs and watching bugs bunny. hope yer week was swell! this week begins the week of storms...i think i'll spend much of it home, on the sofa, reading.

so far for today...

i did not...

*finish my article that is due today

*eat sugar

*return phone calls

*write a little, think a lot
*watch the sunrise

*watch this movie (ignore the title, it was good!)
*cuddle with the witch-baby

*organize the closet
*eat homemade pho for lunch

*talk to my sister
*make granola

*watch a white-crowned sparrow take a bath
*discover a lingering tangerine on the tree and ate it!
*try on my hats (it is, after all, Hat Day!)

the week in review: jan 4-10

other than taking a short break to party in my wallow, it was a pretty good start to the new year. it really wasn't too different from the last year, i don't know why i always expect the pomp of the new year to make me feel different but i do. sigh.

there was some cleaning, some crafting, some writing and much talk about the BIG TRIP. mr. a-go-go is only slightly freaking out. he's a bit of a worrier but i am sure we'll figure something out. i picked up lita from the airport and we happily chatted away a lunch time and then stacey whisked me away from my wallow and we ate too much at the alcove. movies were watched. the garden was watered. doilies were found, walking happened, and i finally finally got this song out of my head. (mr. a-go-go plays it on the uke).

this week will be consumed with writing, research, crafting and cooking good food. we'll take a short visit up northish for the boy a-go-go's birthday and then we'll be back home, back in the swing of things. happy january!
