happiness is...

A good day has so far been had. Thanks be for that…I love the good days.

Entirely too early this morning, I joined some friendly office mates in our daily quest in Comp instruction. After, I took off to enjoy a date with the love of my life. We partook in the cuisine of the Stonehouse Café, our first time. We had calamari strips for an appetizer and then Cardo enjoyed crab quesadillas. Lately, I’ve been craving a BLT, so I ordered the BLT&A. For the longest time, I was a seriously deluded person who thought that avocado was gross, but I’ve recovered. Toasted wheat bread, no mayonnaise and thick, crunchy bacon. My sandwich was good. We indulged in tiramisu for dessert. The Stonehouse Café is definitely a treat we won’t partake in very often (a bit on the expensive side for us).

We came home, played a board game and I took a nap. After picking Pic up from school, we played in the pool (one perk of living in the apartments again), ate and took a walk to the park. I just put Pic to bed and Cardo is sleeping on the couch. I’m also ready for rest.

Before that, though, I’ll take a moment to link to two recent blog entries I particularly enjoyed. The first is by my all-time favorite blogger ever, ever, Catherine Newman. I’d love to raise Pic alongside her raising her kids. The second [entry for 7/23/08] is by Glamour blogger Christine Coppa. She is about to realize my current dream-job. My if-I-ever-left-my-field-backup-dream. In bocca al lupo.

As for my 101/1001 list, I’m slooowly chipping away at that. I just counted and realized I have thirty-eight more months of State of Grace to read before I’m caught up, though, and I’m a little daunted by that. Ah, well, one must read on.
