tasty

its always slightly disappointing when i see our mail-carrier walk past our house without delivering any packages.

lately i'm starting to feel more comfortable with my extra weight, ever since i figured out how to dress to suit my body. it's a subtle difference, but significant enough that i feel better about myself. it tones down all my problem areas. sometimes i ask brendan if what i'm wearing looks ok. he always says yes (sometimes without even looking), so i have to remind him that i'm asking him as a citizen of the world and not as my husband.

last night i tried baking those chick-pea peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. they turned out ok. i'm not sure if i'll make them part of my regular baking repertoire, but they're not bad. the thing i find most surprising about them, is that since they're mostly beans, they're remarkably filling.

when i take naps, i sleep on brendan's side of the bed. i must be subconsciously missing him. i like that his pillow smells like him.

i could drink a case of you.
