January 18

Got a lot done today. Cleaned the kitchen, went food shopping, did laundry. Robin asked to go to Michael’s to buy supplies to make phone charms and I spent way too much money on it. I’ll do almost anything to see her smile. I met Lauren and Monica for an early dinner at Pecan Craft Kitchen, which is a new farm to table restaurant that was pretty good. We complained about our kids and husbands (and ex-husbands) and ate dessert out of tiny mason jars. And then I came home and knitted obsessively for hours. The blanket is coming along – about five more feet to go! At this rate it will be done by the summer solstice. Maybe. Also it’s cold. It barely rose above 50 today and rained most of the day. I am not complaining – it’s just so rare that it gets this cold here. Having the heat kick on before we go to bed is weird. I kinda like it, honestly.
