::Outside my window
A cold and clear January day, in the 30s.
:: Listening to
Don Giovanni, with Renee Fleming and Bryn Terfel in the leads
::Cooking
Carbonara tonight. Dinner at a meeting tomorrow, and then dinner with my parents Thursday and Friday. Wednesday I might try chicken tikka marsala again and see if I can make the sauce less…saucy. It was really watery last time.
::Reading
Madeline L’Engle’s Austin series again, as well as Toujours Provence.

::Working on
The body–I’m down a dress size, so the circuit training must be working.
::Around the house
Cleaning off the kitchen table, and mopping the kitchen floor.
Love the rosary beads and blue earrings! Can you ever have enough of either! Blessings +
Down a dress size! Yay for you Emily girl! The picture with your sister is so nice. You both have amazing smiles.
