making
spaghetti for dinner - they take their Italian products so much more seriously over here, suddenly cooking is much less of a chore ;)

loving
grey days like today - they're so much more 'me' than sunny days (everything can be A-OK on an overcast day too, Mr Sesame Street theme tune writer, honestly)

feeling
oh so grateful for four more years of Obama.  because can you imagine the alternative....? 

neeeeeeeeding
a trip to NYC this weekend.  you know, because it's just down the street and all! 

wishing
i could find little trees to put by the front door that are not too small and not too real (i kill things, you see) and not too garish and not too spendy.  they don't actually exist :(

waiting
for the ice maker to arrive with baited breath - come on Mr UPS!!!  a fridge without an ice maker is surely an implement of torture...

off to eat dinner and marvel that it's not even been FOUR WEEKS since we arrived here and it already feels more like home than California did after sixteen years....
