last night i watched ‘the princess bride’, which i have not seen in years! i forgot how good it is. laughing with friends felt really really good.
before the movie started, c and i sauntered into the living room to talk about knitting. we both nested down on the couch with the cat and started knitting and catching up on life in general while everyone else finished off dinner. i totally need a knitting circle!
today mom and dad fly in. their flight was delayed two hours in dfw due to fog around sfo. dad has a theory that they never tell you the real reason flights are delayed, so mom actually asked me if it was foggy today. yup. the sky is glowing white. foggy days mean diffused light. great for photographs, but hard on the eyes sometimes. the light comes from everywhere, which means no harsh shadows but also not just one place to shield your eyes from. maybe we’ll find some nice sunglasses this weekend.
i have a HUGE pile in the kitchen of things to give away, and as i look around the room i find more and more i could really do without. i should take photos of this process, really. i’m being harsh, or trying to be, and realistic. no, i never really do wear those bright red high heeled mary janes with the rhinestone stars. someone else will find them just as cute as i do. and one of the women’s circle’s i’m on a mailing list for (though have never been able to make a gathering) is planning a clothing swap! i figure as long as i promise to take bags of leftover stuff to out of the closet, they won’t mind if i bring lots and take next to nothing.
