I came home from girls' night out last night to find that B had unpacked and set up our new Cuisinart "Brew Central" coffee maker, which had apparently arrived at some point in the afternoon. He'd inserted the filter, run the sample batch, and had it ready to go for my fruffy-cocktail-induced-slight-hangover morning. His sweetness knows no bounds.

It's just the kind of thing that had me smiling along the entire walk home from the corner where my shared taxi with Denise dropped us off. Weaving through the crowds spilling out the Grog and Tankard and milling along the sidewalk in front of Bourbon, I couldn't wait to get home to crawl up next to him-- to hear about his night and tell him about mine. It seems so cloyingly sentimental, but I guess those feelings have to truly exist out there for them to become cliché.

 
 
 
in my ears  ::

the construction from across the street and the white noise from the fan attempting to block it out

on my mind  ::

whether or not leftbank is truly open for brunch; very close white rabbit victories; those pesky weeds thriving between our slate tiles; crepes; should I take a shower before our great falls hike?

 
in my kitchen  ::

amazing Cuisinart coffee that reminds me of the idyllic mornings at B's father's house

 
on my wish list  ::

a gold tone filter

 
in my immediate future  ::

jazz on the stereo... or now the television, since b got there first
