Simple Day

For Today... I must divide and conquer the laundry pile. No excuses.

Outside my window... sunshine so bright, as if winter forgot to remind the sun that today's high temp will only in the 20's.

I am thinking... about wearing red cowboy boots today. Just for the hell of it.

I am thankful for... my family using their tax refund to bring me and Ro home for a visit. Hooray!!!!!

From the kitchen... Trial 1 of the Organic Girl Scout Cookies: Thin Mints. I need to make a few changes before my recipe is complete, but once perfected I will share it with you!

I am wearing... my mom uniform: yoga pants and a tank top. I apologize to my mother for the times I mocked her having 23 different tank tops all in the same style.

I am reading... Sweet Juniper!'s blog post documenting his scavenge expeditions of a closed Detroit Public School building. I *heart* that blog- written from a SAHD perspective- and hope to meet this guy someday. Be sure to check out his terrifying Nixon-era children's books .

I am hoping... it will stay sunny over the weekend. I hate traveling in the rain.

I am creating... too much craftiness!! I've recently sorted and organized my supplies (I get half the laundry room to myself now!) in an effort to keep my shit off the floor, thus out of Rowan's ever widening reach. I am allowed one basket full of projects out in the living room- any spill over must be cleaned up each night. So my basket contains: Beanbag stumps, birthday crown for Ambrose, & felt food raviolis.

I am hearing... the soft white noise of the baby monitor mixed with the inspiring musings of the Decemberists.

Around the house... Cheerios. Everywhere. I think they have begun to reproduce.

One of my favorite things... 90 minute naptimes.

A few plans for the rest of the week... C and I finally get a weekend free from political responsibility and go visit some Chi-town friends.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

I love my men, big and small!
