1.  Hot chocolate Saturdays.  I’ve allowed myself to drink hot chocolate on the weekends, and I’m loving it.  Such a nice treat!

2.  Looking forward to today, even though it’s going to be busy.  Brunch with a writer-friend of the Boy’s, and then preparation for the in-law dinner.  Since the Boy is the Roast Beast Chef, all I have to do is worry about the dessert.  And the place settings.  Yes, I will be polishing silver.

3.  I went to sleep at 9:30 last night.  Bliss.

4.  Blood oranges.  They’re so beautiful, and I like their tanginess more than the simpering sweetness of regular oranges.  But mostly because they’re so nice to look at.

5.  My long-awaited yarn finally arrived (again!) and this time it made it into the house instead of into some (I’m sure) VERY disappointed mail-thief’s stash bag.  But this means I get to start my baby-blanket project.  I’m currently working on a swatch so that I can chart it out accurately, and I’m hoping to have it ready to begin this next week.  So exciting to have a big project ahead of me!
