Dear Friends

An open letter to anyone who has ever given my husband their cell phone number:

Dear Friends,
If there's the slightest chance you have photo viewing capability on your phone, I apologize now for the random photos you have received or will be receiving shortly. Alex's new phone is a pretty good camera phone, and so he's been taking and sending pictures with abandon. I know for certain one friend received a photo of me knitting in the backyard and another a photo of the cat lounging on the drive. I know these are random and unexpected appearances on your phones, but you have to understand how much he loves his technology. And we ARE pretty cute.
Thank you for understanding,
Cara

Mmmm....

Today is a good day. We had a cold front last night, and while I can feel it to my bones (literally) it's awfully nice to take a step back from the early summer and actually have a few days of spring this year. The air feels fresh and just barely crisp, and I went around opening all the windows this morning. As a special bonus, the rain that accompanied the front seems to have washed the pollen down to reasonable levels. I can actually breathe through my nose. Well, half my nose, but I'll take it.

And the office is closed today, so I didn't get up until 8:30 and I'm still lingering over my coffee. I have some work to do, but I can stay in my pajamas all day if I want. Not that I actually plan to do so; it's just nice to know I can. This luxury is topped off by the fact that I only plan to do work today because I took off Monday, and I know that I'll have a fully relaxed truly three day weekend if I knock a few things off my to do list now. And since I'm going to work from home, I'll also get laundry and picking up done in between. I love it.

I feel good, and I actually feel motivated to take care of the work so I can be done. If I do that this morning, I think I'll go to the yarn store this afternoon. I just bought the Cece pattern from Chic Knits, and I'm excited to get started.

Happy Easter to me!

Sunday, Busy Sunday

No more time for being wimpy. This morning was Church, bridal shower shopping, a quick watering of the plants and a trip to the dog park to let Gwen burn off some energy. This afternoon is a long-awaited bridal shower who has had to delay her wedding for one reason or another for several years now. It's a good Sunday. Have Kleenex, will travel.
