the lull returns

Tonight I made spinach pesto with gnocchi, homemade balsamic vinegarette for a salad with chevre and toasted pecans. And then I whipped up a pecan pie too. I meant so much to take pictures, but I forgot. And then my old high school friend suggested a walk, which was so perfect on this cool, crisp night, but then my shoes rubbed a hella blister on my foot. On that one, I'll spare the pictures.

In the last 2 weeks I've learned of a friend's engagement (congrats D.B.) and another's pregnancy (congrats J.S.). Knowledge that my life is at a standstill= priceless.

The lull is nothing serious, as some friends suspect when they see the silence here. The well is just dry. I'm not down, just unmotivated to write.

I've been nuturing my nesting and mothering instinct lately. If you'd like to come over for dinner, let me know.
