and you have to learn the lesson twice

we had organic burgers for dinner with cilantro pesto (still going through the huge batch i made the other day) and the above delicious handcut salsa. someone dropped off a box of canning jars for me (i think i know who they're from) and i have immediately begun to fantasize about what to can inside them and this salsa definitely might be a winner. could you imagine opening up a jar of yummy handcut salsa in january in this town? amazing !!

on july 25th i freaked out and went "5 months to christmas!!" and bought yarn to knit xmas gifts with. this is the first pair of xmas mitts on the go. they're long and slouchy to fit over a pair of gloves. i bought some sock yarn to make man socks (for some random man in our lives) and more of this yarn in browns to make more mitts. i love mitts. i kind of want to keep all of them for me.

i've been in lots of pain lately. it's not nice. i should go get a massage and a chiro. a hot tub would help a lot but my tattoo can't really submerge for a few more weeks and by then i'll have the other scissors done. this is rupert doing some stretches when i was down on the floor doing some pain relieving yoga. i truly love our cats as equals! this mr. comes down on the floor whenever i'm stretching or reading the newspaper or knitting or whatever and gets in for some sweet loving. it's nice, actually.

today we had a sunday brunch at a girlfriend's house. complete with brunch cake (!!), fruit salad, cherries, smoothies, salad, mimosas, and lox and spinach eggs benedict. it was one of the best breakfasts i've had in a while (minus the huevos rancheros we had for breakfastdinner the other night). i love brunch so much!

i hadn't realized how busy we've been lately but pretty much for the last 10 days or so we've done something whether it's just coffee with a friend to going to see a movie or me having a board meeting or going to a show. and we're pretty tired and worn out. so busy! i'm surprised, really. well it's probably way past my bedtime and this hungover body from last night is still cranky. so i should sleep it off. xo
