3. glasses (blindness)
4. pyjamas (nekkidity)
oh dear oh dear. i am so happy to finally be home! chicago was fun enough but dirty and humid.
good things this weekend
May. 19th, 2008 10:46 am- huge treasure of leeks in the garden
- roller derby on friday, a rather sloppy round 1 against norcal and then a more impressive round 2 interleague bout (too hot to stay for rounds 3 & 4)
- trying to make my own vinaigrette
- pulling endless weeds from the back planting beds, and finding what may be a massive stand of asparagus (too late to be cut for this season)
- first farmer's market trip of the season, and going early to get the last dozen farm eggs
- yoga (cheap) and hula dancing (free!) lessons at work
an eventful year in review
