My weekend:

- Made lunch on Saturday (OK, this wasn’t as productive as I’m making it out to seem - peanut butter and sugar free strawberry jam (which, btw, is not nearly as good as the low sugar orange marmalade) on whole wheat.

- Went grocery shopping and had a delightful conversation about collard greens and candy bars with the cashier. I usually pay for the groceries as Josh piles it into bags and into our cart and when his candy bar came around, she handed it to me and I passed it right off to Josh. She seemed to think it was adequate payment for packing the bags into the grocery cart. I agreed.

- Went to the Apple Store on Michigan Avenue to bring my iMac and iPods in to figure out why they would suddenly not work well together, when - wouldn’t you know - they started working together very well while we were in the store. I can’t decide if the genius who assisted me was being nice or truthful when he said, “Sometimes you have to unplug your entire machine from the power to get things to work again.” Whatever it means, it means that I get to listen to NPR on the way to work again and for that I adore my genius.

- Made roasted veggies last night. Yum.

- Today, got up at the ungodly hour of 4AM. Yes.

- Josh made lunch (quesadillas) and afterward, we took Ava on a long walk along Lake Michigan - our apartment complex is, for all intents and purposes, right outside our front door. She had a lot of fun, as did we. Our goal is on Sundays to take a nice long walk together - and with the weather being as gorgeous as it is (hallelujah, Spring!) today was a perfect day for a stroll along Lake Michigan.

- I went to the ATM to get cash for laundry. I walked outside in a hooded sweatshirt, listening to a podcast, and… ah. Beautiful.

- And seemingly at the same time, I made dinner (an unfortunately timed meal where I needed to broil and bake at the same time), and juggled laundry at the same time.

- I shaved Josh’s head. Pictures to come. He’s a cueball now.

- We watched the last episode of Star Trek Voyager (via Netflix).

- I cleaned the kitchen.

And in ten minutes, I plan to fall into bed. Ahh.
