1. A pumpernickel bagel, my current favorite breakfast.
2. A third cup of Yorkshire tea. I needed the extra caffeine for a long work day!
3. Fresh Air podcasts.
4. Car Talk podcasts.
5. Finishing a few minutes early on all three jobs today.
6. My lovely client Heather, for dropping off my iPod dock that I left at her house.
7. Being able to go to so many artist talks and events this week; even the less fascinating ones are good things.
8. A good solid ninety minutes of embroidering. I certainly picked a slow technique to work on... at least it doesn't require a lot of set up time!
9. Delving through a crazy ziploc of old bags of spices in search of ones for my red beans, and deciding to just get rid of all of the unidentifiable ones. Sorting and trashing can feel good.
10. A documentary about Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader made me think fondly of two artists I visited in Amsterdam years ago, Jan Voss (from Iceland) and Hettie Van Egten (German). Their sensibilities seemed to fit with his somehow.
