[the light sure is nice at the white castle. the burgers aren't bad, either.]

wow. the morning does fly by, doesn’t it? i had several kid-free hours to myself this morning and big plans to tackle a to-do list. instead, it’s 15 minutes before i need to leave for rehearsal, i’m just finding time to blog and i never got around to cleaning the tub or the floor. ahhh….but the coffee drinking and book-reading were good.

here’s a little song for you from emma. i like the middle part where she kind of forgets the words, then looks up at the camera like “ok, here’s the rest of the song.”

other things i adore:

~ books so enrapturing that you stay up all night to finish them
~ smudge-proof lipstick that doesn’t end up on your kid or your coffee mug
~ the music of andrew bird
~ seeing the piggy bank get closer and closer to full
~ knitting with cashmerino yarn (sooo silky, it feels like magic)
~ new shoes that don’t need ‘broken in’, but feel like walking on clouds
~ super-thin meyer lemon cookies from trader joe’s (ok. most everything from trader joe’s.)

i’m off to rehearse some Mahler…. hope your day is calm, cool, and collected.
