Sounds like the new home is working out well. It's especially good that you like the kitchen.
amarena:
Ahh yes moving. Glad you're at the tail end of it and are starting to relax.

Congratulations!
going away party for two co workers, one of which is moving to Germany, pretty cool.
hungover today. hate working hungover, but i won't be the only one, that's for sure.
can't wait for this day to be over so i can crawl into bed with some greasy food and a bunch of pot.

I don't know if I could handle being hungover and working with food?
had a very productive day of work. made about 20 dz gnocchi. lots of risotto, broke down and portioned 4 sides of salmon, and my most tedious task of the day, bruniose green olives for tapanade. that took forever and was interrupted by an hour or so rush. but it puts me in pretty good shape for tomorrow as we start a busy week.

finally FINALLY got my ass to the gym today. it felt good to get my heart rate up, sweat from something other than work and chicago humidity. its a nice facility, open 24 hours so i can go after work too. hopefully this is the start of a more active life.
at least before i get stoned after work that is.

Yay! Gym time = fun time (I say this in my least enthusiastic voice,ever!) personally, I hate working out, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
i woke up to the sound of children and accordians. my first thought was . . . i wonder if the farmer's market starts today.
it did. right outside my front door and it is wonderful. so much great stuff. produce, bread, cheese, food vendors. so stoked. today i bought some beautiful strawberries.
i'll only be in this place until the end of the month,...
