friday nights.

Friday nights are for walking steps in your living room catching up on Parenthood until you reach 10,000 steps so you can eat an enchilada and binge watch Law & Order: SVU.

Friday nights are for attempting tripod yoga and pull ups and forearm balance and for Pinteresting yoga poses that you want to attempt someday, someday maybe.

Friday nights are for finding new recipes to try at home, for having two squares of dark chocolate just because, and for catching up on a swath of food blogs that I don’t normally have a chance to read.

Friday nights are for avoiding crickets that are crawling around in your apartment and then learning the consequences of that (as I type this I hear the cricket creaking in my kitchen faster and faster as though it was 100 degrees out.)

Friday nights are for promise. The promise of coffee in the morning. The promise of a wide-eyed weekend of cooking, and meeting new people.

Friday nights are for hope. Friday nights are everything wonderful about life.

Where my lunch time goes.

Today, I had roughly 30 minutes for lunch (part of which I am taking to write this!) before I had to run out for work-related errands. Rebecca had eaten lunch, so it was in front of my computer time!

What did I do?

1. Caught up on PW’s cooking blog.
2. Sent this recipe to Jeff, asking if he’d eat it.
3. Read about Matt’s Canada Sweepstakes.
4. Entered said sweepstakes.
5. Researched Immersion blenders, and lusted after this one.


6. Researched cream of potato soup, and emailed Jeff to ask him if this was indeed the soup he likes (I’m in a soup mood, can you tell?)
7. Finally learned to love Google blog search.
8. Found this recipe and this recipe for soup.
9.  Started to look at this, and then realized maybe for lunch it wasn’t a great idea. Bookmarked for later.
10. Ate lunch.

Think about what I could do in an hour! Speaking of which, I’ll be updating this blog later today too.
