lately

*doing nanowrimo and nablopomo and anything else with a ridiculous name like that i can find.

*drinking too much coffee, sometimes with this in it.

*cooking delicious meals, like the best vegan spinach stuffed shells last night - seriously, i wish you all could have tasted them. i used the basic cashew "ricotta" from veganomicon and added extra garlic and lots of spinach. stuffed shells with it, covered with tomato sauce and baked a long time at 350 degrees. a sprinkle of vegan mozzarella, then put it under the broiler for a few.

*getting sleepy around 6:30 pm, since it's getting dark around 5:00.

*listening to boo's voice get deeper and deeper, and watching him grow taller and taller (dental hygienist to boo yesterday: "you are looking so handsome today!")

*observing, amazed, as bean juggles three ap classes, two university classes, college applications, the knitting of many beautiful mittens, hats, socks, and sweaters, and much more.

*getting caught up on milo in maine for the holiday craft fairs rapidly approaching.
