Jan 1st
I am the only one in my family that doesn't NEED to be functional this coming week so it only makes sense that I'm the ONLY one that has transitioned to the right time zone. Brad is still late night state side. He made me breakfast while he had dinner this morning at 6am. I have no idea where Zoe is on a map but she's still in bed at 1330 which will make Tuesday far more painful than it needed to be. I keep going upstairs and making more noise than I need to but neither of them are budging. Meanwhile the suitcases still haven't been put away because someone is always sleeping in the bedroom. This coming week will be very interesting.

I love my yarn. I'm almost always playing and messing about. Obviously Indy knows how to get my attention. He's surrounded by toys and yet if you look toward the couch you can see more yarn that's been pulled from my box. This is why I'm supposed to use the lid.

Starting my 4th book of the year. I go back and forth between NPR, BBC and getting lost in a reality that is "fictional", although Fahrenheit 451 was a little too close for comfort. Next up is the newest Fever book!!! Goodbye reality. If I read slow maybe it'll keep me busy for a couple days. My brain needs a break.

PB&J a la Aaron and Louie!
**** 5 minutes later ****
Dear Aaron, I was super excited about lunch today. There were no leftovers in the fridge demanding attention and it's rainy and cold so I thought: Self, today is a PERFECT grilled pb&j day! Only when you made these for us you left out a few reminders and hints. The most important being that there's a waiting period between the grilling and the eating or mentioning something about how jelly is really just a name for cooled magma. Now, when asked how I burned my hand I'll have to explain that I was attacked by my beloved pb&j samich.
BTW... it was still delicious.

I really dislike flickr's editing options.
Put batch A into album C should not take any thought.
It's just been made incredibly clear that I do not write nearly enough.
