Random Sunday Update

I made cinnamon rolls last night, baked this morning. The house still smells of cinnamon mixed with a pleasant summer’s day breeze drifting through the house carrying it along. I don’t think I’m going to get around to any other bread products this weekend. My middle is probably thankful for that, though my taste buds are sad.

We walked down to the farmer’s market today again. We got eggplant, various zucchini/squashes (who knew, the little girls actually like them! Woo!), blueberries (but they’re all already et), and various and sundry other tasties. We’re having corn on the cob (grilled) & hamburgers & a Big Salad for dinner tonight. I’m totally looking forward to it.

We also started a compost bin today, house-for-sale be damned. We’re so tired of feeling like we have to wait to do things, wait to establish routines we’d like to establish, waiting, waiting, waiting…

I’m pretty completely infatuated with the idea of getting an electric bicycle to commute to work with right now. Still in the research stages, but it would fit exercise into my day, reduce some gas costs (not driving the car as much), reduce carbon mon?di?oxide, lower car insurance (assuming I do it regularly)… Infatuation, yes, and also still pleasant weather during the 1/4 of the year when it’s not steady drizzle/rain… But if I got in the habit when it’s nice, it’s easier to maintain the habit when it’s not, right? Or something?

The little girls in the neighborhood are all outside decorating the cul-de-sac with chalk. How funny — firefox spell check recommends “testicular” as a spelling correction for “culdesac”. Oh, firefox spell check!

I was sad today at the farmer’s market. The honey lady wasn’t there. I wanted to ask her some questions — like if she was also the beekeeper. And other stuff. Of course, even had she been there, whether or not I’d have actually talked with her is up for question. I feel awkward asking questions like that, never quite sure where to take the discussion. Goes back to my apprehension at hearing from a PM at work that I really like that I never come with questions, I come for verification that I’ve already got the answer. I don’t like not knowing the answer so I do my research & try to figure out the answers and then I find someone likely to be knowledgeable to verify & in doing that, I think I miss out on all kinds of things. Conversely I have so many questions (answers to verify?) that I have a huge, overwhelming list that I ask all at once. Ish. Or in rapid fire. Anyway, none of that is either here nor there for today.

Mmm. Sleepy afternoon, all of a sudden…
