12 november

i started this cold, rainy thursday making ravioli with my friend naomi, and i (almost) finished the day making this cake.  i mean, i've only made the cake part, the frosting will be tomorrow, but doesn't it look decadent?  extremely decadent?  yeah.

and in between the ravioli and the cake?  i managed to fit in a few other bits:

* i visited first grade and watched my girl solve math problems, write a paragraph about the color turquoise, and speak complete sentences in another language.

* i got a hair cut.  just a little one.

* i made a veggie stir fry for dinner.

* i proofread the rough draft of a (highly complex) paragraph about flooding in bangladesh and what one man is doing to keep his country's children in school in spite of the rising water.

* i visited jen's beautiful pop-up shop.

* i found a very special package in my mailbox.

gosh, it doesn't look like much when i spell it all out like that, but it felt like an awfully full day to me.  and tomorrow is friday the 13th.  i'm trying to embrace that.

Now I'm feeling like a slouch...off to the kitchen!

funny...my days feel full too...but if I wrote them out and made a list, I think someone would say...so that's all you did ?

and then I'd feel bad and I'd have to add that to the list....

ps...love your blog

Sounds like an eventful day. Do you have a pasta maker to make the ravioli? Would love to see a photo of the results!

The bits make up the full days, don't they? That scarf is gorgeous.
