Had a sweet two days in a row off with Dan. Some sleeping in (9a! Guilt free! What a treat!) on Friday, followed by lunch with a gift card at the Good Earth and then a trip to Como Zoo to see some baby monkeys.

Today we ran some surprise errands and saw "Sunshine Cleaning" with some gift cards. Seriously, gift cards are such a treat. Of the five previews I definitively want to see three of the movies. Judged solely (okay, NOT solely but my first impression was based on) their opening songs. I just made some deviled eggs for tomorrow.

I'm working through some tough realizations about myself and how I equate work. I'm working on a quilt. Life is busy...but I think it's good.
