somehow despite doing practically nothing until well after three in the afternoon (and we didn't even sleep in all that late this morning... might have had something to do with the hour and a half catch up phone call with younger sis...) i still managed to get two loads of laundry washed and dried - though not yet folded, my herb jars filled, a very good supper made, a batch of sourdough bread proofing (hehe more on that later), and breakfast for the morning soaking (bread pudding using saved loaves of french baguette from the market and cultured buttermilk bartered from the lovely mrs. lee - mmmm, yum). i feel almost accomplished... and there are still 40 mins of today left! :)

i think i'll cuddle up next to my dear husband and watch the rest of Charlie Rose's interview with Thomas Friedman. very very interesting stuff.
