The joke is on me

Wow, that is the fastest I've ever failed at NaBloPoMo - I didn't make it a week! Not to sound sour grapes, but I guess I just can't prioritize it. My real life has too much going on right now. Yay, me!

Baked

That is, I baked:

• 6 loaves of honey whole wheat sandwich bread
• 2 1/2 dozen white chocolate almond Stoll House cookies
• 1 dozen cranberry corn muffins

All my stores are now full of baked goods, and my kitchen is toasty warm and smells like a bakery.

I am almost done knitting my 10th pair of booties this year. This pair is for a friend from my daily gratitude email list who had a baby boy last week. He had a rough start, but I was relieved to hear he is doing better.

Everyone in my house is on their favorite electronic. Lindsay is on a laptop behind me playing a game with Dora who she professes to hate, because it is deeply uncool in Kindergarten to "still" like Dora. Lauren is watching Netflix on my iPad. Alec is playing Arkham Asylum on the XBox, and I'm here on my Mac Mini blogging over a cup of Yerba Mate cocoa tea and my nearly finished booties.

We're having take out Chinese, and hopefully logging an hour or so on the game Lauren, Alec and I have been playing - Iron Dragon.

Hooray for the weekend!

I love the weekend. I rarely get to sleep in these days - we are pretty busy all the time, but there's something different about the pace on the weekends that I just love. Lots of time to indulge in hobbies. No homework. No packing lunches. The only thing better than the weekend is a LONG weekend...and we have one coming up!
