Riffing a la Theresa...

• It was a nice, sunny day today -- just the way I like my Saturdays. A light jacket and a scarf wrapped 'round my neck, some fingerless mitts in the morning...
• And I'm good.
• I picked up the last of our CSA deliveries today -- a "late season" box for each of us (Ali and me). We found various potatoes and squash, a pie pumpkin, shallots and garlic, cabbage, apples...
• I made potato soup for supper tonight.
• With a recipe that my friend Cursing Mama sent me...
• In 2008...
• That I've been meaning to try.
• NOM!
• Next time, I'm making Elizabeth's Baked Potato Soup...
• She only posted that one in 2010, so I've got time.
• Heh.
• I'm sure it'll be soon! I have potatoes!
• The only other thing I bought at the market was some bread -- a loaf of sourdough, and also a ciabatta with some gorgonzola butter...
• We had some devoured that last weekend with the birthday pot pies...
• And devoured it again tonight.
• I can tell it's getting close to Christmas...
• Because my girls are knitting.
• Alison called me twice last night (from her apartment, upstairs at my house)...
• The second time I answered, "Knitting Hotline! How may I help you?"
• She's knitting a pair of slippers...
• "What does 'KFB' mean?"
• "What does "SM" mean?"
• She wanted to go yarn shopping today and I just happened to need to go button shopping, too!
• I bought buttons for two cowls that I've recently finished.
• My LYS was having a sale...
• Can you believe I've never been on their email list before?
• They don't mail things in the mail anymore.
• I discovered today that I lost my driver's license.
• I can't ever get the thing out of its little slot when I want to, so I'm pretty sure that it didn't just fall out and that I left it somewhere...
• I can't imagine where!
• Or even when!
• It's driving me nuts.
• Also driving me nuts is that the letters E, T, A, D, F, H, L, C, N are all worn off my my keyboard, most of G and M are, too, and V, R and B are barely there.
• I don't need to see them to type because I know them by heart/feel...
• But when I go looking for a particular one... at a time... I really have to think.
• Drives me nuts...
• It's not that old.
• I know, I know...
• I did some work today...
• And now I'm going to sit down with Rusty and watch the last episode of Zen.
• Om.
• Yum.
• Yeah.
