1. Sleep, sleep, glorious sleep…. I’m getting lots this weekend and loving it!

2. I had a rather wonderful dream last night, and I’m still basking in it.

3. Beautiful clear day today. I really want to get a walk in, but that might interfere with one of my naps. If it were a little warmer, I’d try to nap outside, but….

4. Tried a new recipe for the first time in a long time last night. Garlic shrimp with asparagus. It was sort of bland, which was a drag, but it was fun to try something new, and it was nice that the Boy doesn’t mind being fed my kitchen experiments every so often.

5. I’m knitting a hermit crab as a part of a baby gift for my friend at work. (Every new baby needs a stuffed hermit crab, don’t you think?) The pattern is from an amigurumi book, and I’m loving the thrill of following bizarro printed directions and coming out at the end with spiral shells and crab legs and antennae. As with so much of life, following knitting patterns (especially odd ones like these) is just a matter of doing one step at a time, and having complete trust that you’re not being led completely astray. Pretty amazing.
