In Which I Chronicle My Knitting, Cooking, Gardening, and Other General Attempts at Creating a Life Well-Lived

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

Sunday is my favorite day of the week (yes, I realize that today is Tuesday).  Sunday is the one day that Randall doesn't work, and so it's the one day that I try not to work, and we actually get to spend a day together.  Other than sleeping in, we also like to do a decent breakfast (either out or I make something that isn't cereal) and do our grocery shopping.  My favorite part of my favorite day is our drive to Trader Joe's in Glen Ellyn.  Randall likes to drive on the side streets through the neighborhoods, and we each point out the houses that we like (but could never afford).  I've started making a list in my head of my "must-haves" in a house:

-A good kitchen.  "Good" does not necessarily equal "huge".  I would just like a lot of counter space and a lot of storage space.  Also a 50's turquoise refrigerator and stove.















-Big windows.  And lots of them.  Like, in EVERY room.  Closets would be excepted, if necessary.

-A room to be strictly used for knitting.  No pets allowed.

-Hardwood floors, so I never have to vacuum again.

-LAND.  Lots of land for growing food and raising various animals.

-A claw-foot bathtub.

None of that's too much to ask, right?

Speaking of Trader Joe's...they have the most AMAZING cookies ever, Maple Leaf Cookies.  They're shaped like leaves, have a cream center, and smell like pancakes.  They're just so perfectly...Canadian.  Love.
