i love you, you pay my rent

tonight i made the most delicious homecooked vegan dinner, that even joshua liked. it consisted of a fancy pants salad with the works, followed by some healthy whole wheat spaghetti with a cabernet marinara sauce and "meatballs," and some "cheesy" basil and rosemary garlic bread. i'm happy that i can cook so healthy, and be so completely satisfied without overeating.

i've been wanting to make some pumpkin pie, seeing how it is october now. however, the last couple days have been a freakish 90 degrees out, and not at all good for baking. i love baking. well, maybe i just love eating what i baked. haha, yum.

i took a glorious nap today, on grandma mary's amazing reclining lounge chair, outside in the warm breeze. one of my most favorite things is simply breathing the fresh air, listening to the cacophony of birds and insects and enjoying a gentle breeze on bare skin. the simplicity and wonder of it brings me such a sense of relaxation, stillness and quiet joy.

and the dang phone rings while i'm recounting my little reverie. bah.
