Friday October 8, 2010





i don't usually answer the phone in the middle of my day when its a number i don't know ....

most of the time it's 'cause i don't hear it ringing : )

but today i thought why not .... it was lunch break and no one was crying and it might save me returning a call later.

     'hi allison, are you on your way already for sailor's piano lesson?  it was for october 7th right?'

it wasn't on the calendar & since today was the 1st one we weren't exactly in the groove of remembering without the written down part   :  )

the remarkable thing was we were actually dressed to leave the house. some days on the we're-just-home-all-day days we are dressed but not really publicly dressed. like our clothes have too many stripes & polka-dots or we clip our hair up funky.

it was a 'sailor! jack! ben! molly! find your shoes' moment & we threw our ready to eat sandwiches into ziplocs & flew out the door.

with regan, of course, who went shoeless.




i hope she'll like it. she sat very quiet. her typical totally new i'm not used to this quiet.  but i thought the whole thing was beautiful. 

now our only hi-cup is a piano : )

apparently the one we've used as just a piece of furniture for the last many years is really just that - a piece of furniture .... not even worth a tuning, said the kindly piano man who came last week.

bummer.

so we're on the hunt.

its a journal of life - her very first ever music lesson needed a 'name & date' at the top.

that's edible -


doodle & i applying mascara -



my yawning now is big enough to make my eyes water & smear the mornings application .... really i was just staying up to make sure work jeans got into the dryer. its always a sign he needs new jeans when this happens & not a sign that i'm just that backed up on laundry - really. honest. 

a couple weeks ago 2 pairs got thrown away within one week due to unrepairable holes. not that i've ever been known to repair holes ... but you know location is a big factor.

he had a pair for every day of the week but when suddenly you're down 2 and work more than every day of the week, it adds up - or doesn't add up.

and somehow me telling you that was just to justify his need of more work jeans & not my inept laundry skills.

speaking of skills - i made french bread tonight.

it was supposed to go with dinner & it finally came out of the oven around 9:30.  

all that rising and punching and rising and then the rising that i forgot to read all took way more time than expected.

we had top ramon instead.

and i added more yeast to my grocery list in my ongoing effort to have a pantry like my grandma's - always prepared for whatever you're inspired to make.

: )

jeans, dryer, bed, shower, bed.
