Hello, Monday.

Katie

September 14, 2009

I’ve spent this summer traveling with the frequency and speed of a presidential candidate, and today is the first weekday in I can’t remember when that I’ve had for doing the kind of work I really love–writing and editing, baking and designing. I’m starting off with a long walk to Castle Island, then back here for my writing swap homework and a first attempt at some new cookie recipes– a German chocolate and a maple-oatmeal, I’m thinking. Ponytail is in. iPod is charged. Coffee is brewed. Will report back from the front with details.

Woot.
