Today was fabulous

March 26th, 2009

It started with a quiet breakfast, just me and my thoughts as the Bean took her morning nap.

Breakfast

Picking up a new skill for a potential new project. It’s not perfect, but I’m getting there. In the meantime, I have a new coaster.

My lunch date

…before going out to meet a new friend.

Welcoming baby Jacob
Internets, meet beautiful baby Jacob.
I’m honored that he’ll be coming home in this.
Also, I wanted to keep him, but his mom said no.

Then, it was off to pick up Monkey from school, hang out as a family, and then knead some pizza dough for dinner. There’s something so cathartic about making dough from scratch.

Kneading pizza dough
This became one veggie pizza and one pesto, chicken, and ’shroom pie. Yum.

Now, the babies are asleep, the apartment has been picked up…mostly. It’s time for some knitting, a movie, and a few snuggles with my Alan on the sofa.

Hi, I am an impossible color to photograph accurately.

Hope your day was fabulous, too.

I’ve been crafty.

New Love, or proof that left-handers can crochet, too.

I just wanted a taste, that was it.
Just a taste.
But it felt so good, so quick, so easy.
The Karaoke yarn just teased me with with each fan,
showing me a flash of plum, a bit of teal,
just enough to keep me coming back for more.
And come back I did - repeatedly.
Two evenings later…
