six pics


the unexpectedly stormy sky...

Mom's yard, during a sudden downpour. i'm womanifesting future ownership of the house and yard i grew up in...

 E and i staked all (11? 12?) of our rapidly-growing tomato plants yesterday. some of them have blossoms already!

one large baguette, halved then split lengthwise, spread with garlicky mayonnaise (mayo with garlic and onion powders mixed in), piled with thinly sliced ham and cheddar, and baked at 350 for, oh, 10-15 minutes - just enough to melt the cheese and get maximum toasty crunch from the bread. i've made this twice in two days. it's that good!!!!

ahh yes, it's Christmas planning time. two toddler girls are getting bad-ass dolls this year...

and finally, my growing pile of Michfest essentials: instant breakfasts to add to my coffee on those mornings i forgo food for sleep, new socks, t shirts, and underoos, baby wipes for clean feet at night, biodegradable (and delightfully minty) bar of soap, kleenex for obvious reasons, a notebook for keeping my schedule straight/writing letters/jotting down memorable moments, and Emergen-C because plain water gets boring after a week...plus it helps keep the Workerville version of "kennel cough" at bay. don't ask me how it's possible to catch bronchitis in the middle of the woods (all that fresh air!), but every year, it happens. i was the unlucky one six years ago, and have taken precautions ever since!

time to get moving, if my calf muscles will let me. i did 350 jumping jacks last night (in intervals), and today i'm hobbling like a woodland gnome. LOL! i have to pack for the weekend at E's, move a card table and chairs to the basement, and hula-hoop for ten minutes before work. here i go...

(p.s. - new moon tonight, make sure you write down your dreams and goals!)
