"friday in my head"
~
1. lindsay lohan being an idiot and taking up all the space in the news. bad
2. the humidity finally giving us a break. good
3. mosquitos. bad
4. art fair on the square tomorrow. good
5. dropping a heavy drinking glass last night that shattered into a million pieces. bad
6. chipping the granite the glass fell onto. really bad
7. my son with his head finally on shoulders. really good
8. the song "think of me" by rosi golan. even better after the 100th time
9. summer flying by way too quickly. bad
and
last but not least
10. the fresh basil
from the farmers market yesterday
that i mixed with zucchini quarters and sweet onions and bacon bits and smoked gouda cheese
and
then added to my shitake sesame salad dressing from annies
which was poured over fresh romaine leaves.
{after all the glass was cleaned up}
out of this world
good

happy friday

  3. Mmmm...sounds deeleeshous :)

    Standing still? Let me know how that works, as I will be running around with my hair on fire for at least the next week, friend.

    Pshaw...hope Lindsey gets her head on straight soon. Hate to see her downward spiral. No, really. It's always on tv, I hate to see it.

    I am saying so many words of gratitude that your kiddo is in a better frame of mind!! :)

    the one that got stuck in my head was BP deciding to reimburse a $3,400.00 deposit for a vacation rental that they obviously consider more important than paying the thousands of unemployed workers because of their mess.

    sorry about granite top. :-(

    love the top photo!!

  22. I chipped a granite tile on my stovetop island -- and was able to easily replace it with a sample piece from the granite wholesale place. Could you be so lucky?
