I’ve been ignoring the blog recently. It’s not because I don’t love all of you and want to tell you every detail about incredibly fascinating life. It’s just been because I’ve been busy or preoccupied or cold. Enough excuses. Here are some pictures.
We’ve been getting organic vegetables delivered these days. It’s been really good. What’s in the box changes week to week and you never know exactly what to expect.
This week I opened the box and discovered this.
Isn’t it great! The note inside my box said, “Some of you were lucky to receive a Romanesco cauliflower this week.” I thought I was just getting vegetables delivered, but now I feel like I’ve won the lottery–the cauliflower lottery. Okay, maybe that’s not such a great lottery to win.
When I woke up this morning I felt as cynical as ever. I stumbled sleepy-eyed into my stepson’s room to put his lunch in his book bag. “Obama won the election,” he said.
After bathing and putting on his school uniform, he’d gotten back into bed to take a quick nap before going to school. “Are you sure?” I asked. I thought he might’ve been dreaming.
It turns out that he wasn’t dreaming and now I feel like anything is possible.
When I mailed in my absentee ballot last month, my husband said, “Why are you bothering? They’re just going to throw it anyway?” This is proof positive that they counted my vote. Without my vote, he might’ve never gotten elected.
