I Love

I love

Crème brulée

(waiting to apply and torch the sugar)

Notes to Myself instead of

New Year's Resolutions

The musical Wicked

(it's coming to Seattle this season

and I've snagged four tickets

for a girls' night)

Carousel animals

Painting workshops

Finding a heart at the bottom of a bowl

of mushroom soup

and

the local non-profit independent film house

where I see all the best cinema

and documentaries.
