middle-of-the-weekend gratitude

i am grateful for…

2) the slow, real dawning that i really need a break–i was told i looked “exhausted” and “really stressed” this week

3) the night with j and linda goodman and the muppet movie. seriously. what more do you need? oh, i know–a blue marble hand-packed pint, and we had that too. yay.

9) even sand in my teeth
