today, dec 19 i am grateful for these
1. seeing the wind blow the dry snow, when it was first falling, in little eddies against the black of the road… it was so dry, it didn’t stick (till later)
2. cooking a version of this for myself – http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/reviews/Szechwan-Style-Eggplant-with-Pita-Wedges-12780
3. painting and drawing
1. took a dance class – got my body moving despite feeling heavy and out of sorts and out of breath… i felt better after class, of course.
2. resisted pizza or bagel after dance class
3. had good interactions at the ref desk at the central branch today! (am there once a week, and at times i end up feeling a bit intimidated at the ref desk there vs at my lil branch. but today felt more confident)
it’s early, and yet…
1. woke up early
2. am drinking wonderful tea
3. washed the bathtub yesterday so can look forward to excellent shower experience
1. scavenger hunt with library kids…
2. getting the 7pm bus @ port authority and not having to wait too long!
3. kettle corn microwave popcorn
1. homemade (by me) roasted eggplant/tomato sauce with bread for lunch
2. honest conversation with a.p.r.
3. having a saturday to myself…
1. the super bossy and yet smart and nice kid who i got to check out a Lucy Rose book
2. getting to sit at the children’s ref desk today for more than 2 hours
3. the lady at the 99cent store appreciating when i asked her how business was going… she seemed surprised and touched that someone would care!
4. the bus driver stopping right in front of me, and not several yards away.
1. writing a story on a napkin with a friend (we took turns)
2. writing up my notes for discussion (and actually having insightful things to say)
3. eating good homecooked food for lunch
1. had a pint at a pub, and overheard a funny as hell conversation
2. crazy zany kids at the library driving me crazy and yet I love ‘em
3. my friend V
