calm and quiet . . .

been a quiet couple of days around the campfire. literally. been working from home, not really communicating with many folks as the wires seem to have gone quiet, not going out much . . . it's a friday night and i'm comfortably ensconced on my couch after a great dinner with jg. he was here getting the yard ready for the family visit when i got home from setting up my desk at my new office. we made some grilled vegetable pasta and salad and ate dinner outside. he was off with osha to a yemaya gathering. i opted out and am watching "what not to wear".

have a fun day planned tomorrow. will be doing the farmer's market in the am, a hair cut in the afternoon, then off to the muddy boots organic festival to see my friend who works for sequential biofuels, will be meeting c for a wine tasting at vino vixens, then off to see a co-worker's band at the hempstalk festival at sellwood park. who knows where i'll end up after that.

sunday i'm due to meet a friend, geah, and go dancing at tart. should be fun. star says she's not going. guess i should start getting used to not seeing her out. can't believe she's leaving so soon. i'm gonna miss her. just getting to know her has been a blessing. she's very cool.

today i'm thankful for . . . friends both new and old.

impromptu dinners . . .

last night i had the pleasure of having an impromptu dinner with a dear friend of mine.

after driving all of her daughter's friends home, star came over for dinner. we got some yummy mexican chopped salads from aquí mexican cafe and sat in the backyard. it was a nice time. we just hung out and talked and sat quietly for a bit.

so today i'm thankful for . . . impromptu dinners with a good friend
