Today

I enjoyed this in my mug this morning...my new fave.
These creatures are growing rapidly on my girls' windowsill.
I'm feeling a little bit like this about said creatures.
I've been enjoying her music lately.
These arrived today.
Only I wasn't home, so I have this instead.
These make me want to redecorate my place into something more Ikea-ish.
I imagine I'd feel very hip and metropolitan, kind of like her.
It was warm enough for this after work...outside.
But, I'm used to the treadmill, so I kind of felt like this.
I concluded my day here, probably not where Ikea girl ate.
I am full and I am happy.

And that, my friends, was today.

Today

This is what I listened to on my way to work this morning.
I'm thinking about getting these or these with my Target gift card.
Enjoyed my lunch hour watching the two eldest in their highly anticipated jump show.
Left work early to attend spaghetti dinner fundraiser for the Strings program.
Savannah played proudly.
Spaghetti left much to be desired, like it came from here.
But the corner brownie was delish.
Took a long hot bath while reading this.
And now listening to this while I blog.

And that, my friends, was today.
