  • woke up a little after seven
  • ate breakfast
  • back to bed to check email
  • received text from Paul that traffic was terrible
  • talked to Paul on the phone – very rare for the morning + good
  • went back to sleep until 8:45
  • got up for real
  • found a recipe for Greek pizza which is on the agenda for dinner
  • made a shopping list + packed up my computer
  • went to Starbucks to work on the book
  • used my free drink coupon and wrote + wrote – the first draft is flowing nicely
  • picked up a cheese, mushrooms, tomato sauce and the NY Times at Balducci's
  • started the crossword and did pretty well for a Wednesday
  • reheated some of last nights casserole for lunch
  • booked flights to Chicago to see some of the girls in late October
  • (finally) made medals for the paper olympics winners + got everything picked up
  • completed a few projects
  • pounded pizza dough
  • watched Project Runway marathon
  • mailboxed – got my letterpress numbers
  • more Project Runway while doing half-hearted pilates
  • went to the gym – jogged 30 minutes while watching election coverage
  • topped off the pizza and got it into the oven

The rest of the evening will be about eating said pizza, drinking wine and watching the Project Runway finale. And PS: is Bloglines down for anyone else? Feeds are not refreshing for me.

    ditto about bloglines. and yes, LOVE the reference to Empire Records. love the letterpress numbers, will be perfect for countdowns and i adore that you say ‘got up for real’. i do that a lot. i can see that you thoroughly enjoy your days. even the normality of them. oh happiness.

    Sounds like a lovely day – actually a lot like mine (at least project runway marathons and pizza-making). Chicago – welcome! I hope you have a great time when you get here!
