adjusting my expectations
usually when a new week begins, i like to have
☑ the laundry done and put away
☑ the fridge stocked with the week’s groceries
☑ dinners and workouts all planned out for the week
☑ the house looking halfway presentable
things i also typically enjoy and take for granted:
☑ a car battery that is working
☑ not feeling like i have swine flu (I HATE YOU, SAME DAY CLINIC.)
oh well.
m-day brunch highlights
may i present to you . . . a homemade plate of awesomeness
my sister deserves all the credit for this meal. included are apple gingerbread and swiss chard and aged gouda baked omelet from the splendid table cookbook, fresh fruit salad, and my mom’s homemade applesauce (from the freezer — she was not allowed in the kitchen for the creation of this brunch!)
the guest of honor + my dad
another honored guest
josh said he wants every picture from napa to be like this one!

Brunch looks wonderful! Glad you’re not having any hip pain anymore.
I love that you surprised your mom on Mother’s Day. Everything looks great.
Don’t get swine flu!
Just because I thought you might find this interesting as a resident and because you seem to have mastered emotional intelligence. See
