Highlights of my Week

-The gluten-free zucchini bread I made from a gigantic zucchini, as well as the pumpkin and butternut squash soup I made collaboratively with our house guest. Hurray for fall produce and a capable kitchen companion.

-Going on a 6:20am walk around the neighborhood with E last Saturday. It was just getting light, and everyone was asleep except us and a few other people, and it felt like a secret. Plus we had a really good talk, and he loves me.

-Every single E hug and kiss, especially in the morning when his hair is all messy and his breath smells like feet, but his blue eyes sparkle and warm up the whole house.

-The mini-date L surprised me with last night, babysitter included. She took me to a chocolate/coffee shop and we sat outside drinking extremely delicious hot chocolate and just talking, but it felt fresher and exciting. She looks just as beautiful (maybe even beautiful-er) outside of the house we share. Wow! Dates are fun!

-Birthday party planning for E. It is going to be AWESOME. It’s Ancient Egyptian themed and he made golden pyramid shaped invites with each of his friends’ name written in hieroglyphics. Yep, I’ve memorized the alphabet, pretty much.

-The book I am reading: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
