At least now I know what a galette is now...
Roasted apple and butternut squash galette with maple mustard glaze. Admittedly it sounds far more toothsome than it actually was but at least I know what a galette is now.

You Get What You Wish For
Years ago I added "live alone" to my list of things that I wanted to do in my life. To be quite honest, I'm not quite sure why I felt like living alone was such an achievement or why I felt that it was something I needed so badly. I've sat here for over an hour trying to remember and I've got nothing, but the fact still stands that younger Anna felt I needed it.
Living alone is nothing like I expected in that I didn't expect to be doing it at 28 and single. I didn't expect to be doing it in the aftermath of some of the most heart-wrenching decisions I've had to make so far in my life. I didn't expect to being doing it with two cats. I didn't expect it to be as easy as it has been. I didn't expect to find the heavy, imperturbable silence when I walk in the door comforting in a lonesome way. I honestly don't know what I did expect but for all the good and the bad, I am grateful for it. I suspect that short-term I would have been more grateful had it never been necessary, but that in the long-term I will be better off for it since it takes a sheer force of will not not learn a lot about oneself when living alone.
Some day I may be able to remember what exactly my expectations were and decide if I've fallen short, met or exceeded them. One of the few things that I do know to be true though, is that twinkle lights make a place homey when it feels just a little too empty.

Jabba the Joe
Why sleep at the foot of the bed when you can luxuriate under the sheets and the blankies.

Augie meets Daggie
I think my Mama might be the only person in the world who gets this (and so to my other 10 readers I apologise for the ambiguity) but: it's like the perfect blend between Augie Dog and Daggie Dogfoot.

Oli-G's first Happy Hour
I suddenly realized that I'm falling behind in welcoming all of the newborn peanuts that keep entering my life. The pace of new wah-wahs is picking up dramatically and I admit that I'm having trouble keeping up in more ways than just this blog.
Time feels like it's literally fly past me, I admit that it's not really a speed that I'm entirely comfortable with. Where are the days going? When did I grow up and start making regular dentist appointments, paying bills on a schedule and going to the Farmers Market for locally grown vegetables? I don't really know but it happened and here I am, taking deep breaths trying to slow my wheels and desperately looking for a bigger picture.
I can't believe that it was only year and a half ago that I showed up at the hospital to hold an hours old Oli-G in my arms and now she's coming to Friday Team Building with her mama.
I blink and they grow.

A little bit of Monica in my life...
Only at Mo's house would I somehow end up with some kind of soda I've never heard of before (and I thought I was a soda/pop/fizzy drink coinessour), a Belgian wheat beer and a cup of coffee all at the same time.

Cat Nap Trifecta
The ideal catnap location: on a blanket, in a basket, on top of a running dryer.

Look to the right
To the right, directly under the "I Love Bats" bumper sticker.
That unholy bumper sticker.
Good to know that the same brain child who belongs to the American Turd Association also believe that that bumpersticker is in any way appropriate for polite society.

Windows Wide Open
This might not seem like a really big deal but dude, it's April 8th (now 22nd) and my windows are still open and the air conditioning off. This is impressive. Trust me.

Maybe a weird one...
This might be a weird thought but seriously, how can you not love a doctors office that comes with a mini-arm chair for small people and children?

Real friends don't underestimate Little Debbies
To all those girls who don't have girlfriends and claim "I just get along with guys better...girls don't like me", I have to ask you: will your guy friends bring you snack cakes and daiquiri's when you're sad?
Nope. Stop being such an asshole and get yourself some girlfriends. They're where it's at. I promise.

When do we grow up?
I still occasionally wonder what in the world I will do with myself when I grow up. It's generally a wonderment that is quickly followed with the rankling idea that I am already grownup and it's time to figure it out already. But I just take that feeling, shove it in a pocket and forget about it until it turns up in the wash or next winter when I pull that coat out of the closet.
There was something about this woman on her motorcycle ahead of me on the way to work the other day that reminded me that while we may grow up, we don't necessarily grow old.
Who says that you're too old to strap your teddybear on the back of your bike and watch the wind roll through your handlebar tassles?
Not being seven anymore hasn't stopped this bad ass broad.

Not exactly a meatless monday
I know that it's Monday and Monday is supposed to mean meatless but bacon doesn't really count right? I mean, it's like 97% veggie and just the teensiest, most insignificant bit of salty delicious bacon to make the Brussels sprouts more, shall we say, delicious?
