This is an example of my best day ever.
Yesterday:

* Took a walk downtown in cute skirt-style lady clothes (spring makes me throw away my militant lesbian style for something a little softer). Saw Laura and Amanda and said 'heeeey!'.

* Got an old encyclopedia from Ram's Rack for my first book sculpture

* baked for FIVE hours (this is what convinces me that I could do this as a vocation--if I'm willing to bake five hours straight for shits and giggles ((well, not just shits and giggles, it was the anniversary of the day Matt escaped the womb)) I should be able to do it and get paid for it). I made an apple gallette, lemon-lime meringue pies (oh god yes), cupcakes, and chocolate-cherry semi-lava cakes (semi because the runny chocolate and cherries were in a hole in the top, not completely inside the cake).

* birthday dance party! asstastic dance moves and all the hugs in the world!

* cuddles!

All in all, it was pretty fabulous. And today is shaping up to be pretty fabulous too. It is absolutely beautiful outside, and I'm trying to decide between doing something ambitious, like going out to the parkway and hiking, or something a little more low-key, like sitting in the sun on my back porch and sewing the dummy version of the hat I'm making.

I'm sort of on a schedule today so I'll probably go for the low-key. My dear Alyce gets married off at 6 in Mountain City (haha) and I still need to find shoes to wear with my lady dress.
