Happiness is...

Takeout.

Pancakes for supper.
(Pancakes are the basic recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance)

Yummy food.
(So many thanks to Monika K. for letting me in on this cucumber salad recipe. So so delightful.)

Keith's old record player, and my old record now being enjoyed in the boys' bedroom.

And some afternoon music, on our new-to-us couch.

Some other things that are bringing me happiness these days...
- dreaming about new shoes, particularly these, these, and these, even though I clearly need no more shoes... it is so fun to pretend that they will magically fall into my lap...
- fall! in all it's beautiful, warm glory (particularly all the good fall produce at the farmer's market. yes, fall truly is my favorite time of year.)
- maybe these shoes too...
- listening to Julie Doiron's Heart and Crime album, especially the song Wintermitts, which I want to sit and listen to over and over again
- Julie & Julia, which is quite possibly the most not-vegan book ever written, but is entertaining me nonetheless
- finally finishing my business website, and patiently awaiting clients...

I hope you're all enjoying some happiness right now as well!

Yay - I'm glad you liked the cucumber salad! (I totally want to put that pb dressing on everything!) I think it's one of those dishes you have to eat fairly quickly after making, since the cukes begin to break down, but it wasn't too hard to make myself polish it off the last time I made it... (-:

Anyway, I've just wasted far too much time checking out all of the shoes/accessories at MooShoes and Mod Cloth (my new favorite site). Back to the homework!

P.S. I think your web page is terrific - I'd totally hire you if I was planning on having a baby anytime soon...

Mmm, that food looks delicious, and your little lads are just darling!

Also, love your website--doulas do amazing work. After having such a lovely experience with the birth of our daughter, we would never even consider going through labor without one!

LOVE those shoes! I've been fall shoe dreaming myself lately. And now I have a sudden craving for pancakes! :)
