today i...

spent too much time on the phone with doctor types

had a good cry
listened to happy tunes

got swept away for lunch
fell in love with licorice tea

put on new lipstick
washed a sink full of dishes

wore happy colors
was featured on craft.com

said hello to a happy sky
started yet another round of meds

i did not think. i did not write. i did not practice anything of any kind. i think it is time for more tea and this book by this farmer girl. i hope tomorrow is a better day for simply breathing. stupid stupid allergies.

today...january 25

today among the many many things that happened (errands, coffee, stacey time and my darn allergy stuff) i want to remember the man who tried to sell me a pineapple from the trunk of his car and the fact that the very first song to play on the ipod this morning was rhis song (on top of the world) by shonen knife.

i also got to see some of my favorite kidlets, hang out with a favorite lady and stand on a dinosaur because it is bench monday after all...

p.s.
i think i saw my first boyfriend coming out of the very store i bought my first pair of combats boots from. i wish i stopped to find out for certain. i feel old.

(oh yeah, Ford officially rejected us as well. Darn them! i guess it's time to focus on a Kia Soul...)

the week in review: january 18-24

well folks, the rain moved in for the most part of the week..so mostly i camped out in the casa and took pictures of um...rain. the weekend was sunny and gorgeous so we headed out for a benefit lunch and then poked around a couple of possible cars for the roadtrip. sunday i hung out at Home Ec shop for a special bakesale and we made over $1000!

today: jan 24

today was a day full of sugar and spice. Home Ec shop was hosting a bakesale for Doctors Without Borders so i whipped up a couple of batches of lavender shortbread, stitched up some wax paper envelopes and hopped on over for some sugar and socializing.

actually, there was a lot more socializing going on than sugar, at least for me. i picked up a bag full of amazingly gorgeous sweets and passed them all off to the mister. i did however partake of the italian poundcake. so very very good!

there were elvis cakes

salted brown butter rice crispy treats

more shortbread than you can shake a stick at

homemade jam

banana spice muffins

and so much more.

i headed home around 3pm and by that time we had brought in over $500! isn't that awesome? i need to head back sometime soon because jenny has some nifty packages of roving for needlefelting, a new selection of charm packs o' fun and i think i may be teaching a dilly bag class there soon.

**whoo-hoo! we made over $1000! thank you to everyone!
