The goods...thursday edition

Did you hear that?  It was the sound of my heart's quiet applause as the sun fought for her place in the sky until a solid 5pm.  I know some of my peeps are buried under dozens of inches of fluffy white snow but here there is just enough sunshine to send my soul daydreaming about those lazy days ahead. Is it possible to be content with where you're at and still pine for the next chapter?  I say yes.
And until the days stretch long and my wardrobe consists of maxi-dresses and flip flops I will find solace in JCrews clearance section (50% off!)...Ina's dreamy Banana Crunch Muffins (use unsweetened coconut)...winter flower bouquets 3 weeks strong (yay for carnations!)...
in house date nights (high five Redbox and take out Thai food!) ...my Bon Appetite subscription (I forgive you for the January health issue, Toasted spelt soup with escarole and white beans, really BA?)...quiet mornings shaking off my insecurities (who knew there was so much hope in Job?  Grab some tissues and read 39:1-3) and empty calories (dang you Ina!)...my two smoochies playing like champs every Saturday a.m....aaand weekend trips hunting waterfalls
enjoying his last few hurrahs in the backpack
 Throwing rocks into the current
 sweetie pie
 self take
So maybe I haven't read a book in six months, we ate chocolate pancakes for dinner and I currently can't find my fridge,
it's almost February!  And nothing delivers more cheer than a preschooler reciting poetry.  I give you Winter Sweetness...by Langston News (What?  He was a real person.)
