it’s been a rather uneventful saturday around these parts. josh had to work and i basically hung out with annabel all day and did housework — when she let me, of course. i managed an 8 mile treadmill run during her PM nap, and really . . .that was about it.
i think i needed a bit of downtime, though. i hadn’t mentioned it, but earlier this week we [josh + annabel + me] traveled to miami for a 23 hour trip [literally, that was how long we were actually in the fair state of FL]. i went on job interview #2 [cross your fingers for me!], josh spent the day househunting, and annabel got in some quality time with her BeBe*. we got back after 1 am thanks to a delayed flight, and i think we’re all still catching up on rest.
SO, with that whirlwind behind me perhaps it makes more sense that i am perfectly content to be at home on a saturday night thumbing through cooking magazines. or maybe i’m just always that exciting. anyway, for those of who do sunday menu planning [i do], perhaps this list will provide you with some ideas.
