yawn.

I'm sleepy.

I tried to distract myself tonight by baking -- I put on an apron and used things like measuring cups and baking powder and mixed things and tried to wake up. (it didn't work)

But damn, I did finally find a martha recipe I liked. Went with a good old fashioned buttermilk cupcake. So far, in the household, we've consumed five of them. Impressive, considering my last few attempts we hid in the back of the fridge so we wouldn't remember we should be eating them.

Then again, me not understanding that "unshelled" pistachios meant actually taking the shells off could have contributed.

I have that deep kind of sleepiness that usually accompanies rain. Maybe I'm just hoping it rains again soon so I wear my new (amazing) rainboots. They are insulated with the softest fabric -- I really appreciate shoes that feel like slippers, but aren't slippers.

It's like a really comfortable summer dress that feels like a nightgown, but is yet appropriate to wear to the grocery store. Unlike an actual nightgown, which I now know is not appropriate.
