coffee & rain...

  Oh dear, the list of "to do's" on our little homestead is forever growing! It's been raining most of the early day, it usually clears up in the late afternoon. I should be clearing indoor projects off the list but I've been working again and on days that I work (9am-2pm) I am just so exhausted from work that I am kind of useless when I return home...

This guy likes to sleep in the funniest spots. He's getting bigger and bigger. I know it's from lack of exercise and I take him outside when we're out there but I worry about him, he hasn't got the most sense and It is pretty populated (with people, cats and too fast moving cars...).

I found this very unusual comme des garcons sweater while digging through the rubbish at a thrift warehouse. It made a frustrating day seem worthwhile. How could someone toss a sweater that they spent hundreds on? ridiculous... It's in perfect condition and very thin wool. Sweaters are one thing you can never have too many of in the pacific northwest.

Baking! We are getting back into gluten free baking. It's hard to experiment (possibly wasting expensive ingredients) sometimes but it's worth, I know baby and I are both sensitive to gluten. Allergy tests in the next week or so. We'll see what shows up.

I'm going to attempt to organize my "to do" list by priority. sheesh, so many things...
Hope there is some sun where you are!

my life is an oasis...

  Oh hello Seattle. Yes, I thought it was spring. Thanks for showing me that you still have gloom in your heart.

  Oh, teeny, tiny zucchini! Like fingerling zucchini. so so good with the floppy flat pasta and raw arugala pesto (I just blended olive oil, arugala, cashews, garlic, basil and a little salt and pepper, easy!).

  I took a few new things to bootyland today. Little girl pixie bloomers and a few other things. I'll be putting my lip balms and hair pomade there too. I even ordered lovely, fancy, self-stick labels. I made this little rug for my gal's kitchen area. She seems to like it. She didn't run away screaming (always a great sign!)and today was a bit of a screamer day...

  So looking forward to yoga class tomorrow and a bit of solo time to chill and try to turn of my mind a little. I was naughty and had a mocha today. It is kind of impossible to live in Seattle and not drink coffee. honestly, I'm just not strong enough...
  here's a bit of Siouxsie for you. I watched "Notes on a Scandal" (really good, see it. It is pretty intense though....) and that caused me to get out all my Siouxsie records...
