today i only worked a 6 and 1/2 hour shift which suited me just fine. i was home to see my daughter after school, do her homework with her and read a book together before she ran outside to play with her friends. its been almost 3 weeks since ive had the opportunity to do that; so it meant alot.
the weekend that just passed was fantastic. we visited family on saturday and ate and drank like kings; to then wake up early sunday morning, visit jack; and go shopping. i bought the mr a new pair of diesel jeans, my daughter a heap of junk jewellery that she fell in love with as well as final fantasy 12 for her ds and myself a kickass bessemer pressure cooker. its flame coloured to match all of my other bessemer cookware and i spent the afternoon yesterday making lamb shank and vegetable soup. it was a perfect winter dish and basically cooked itself. i LOVE pressure cooking and am now just brewing a bosciaola sauce for dinner this evening. its taken the effort out of cooking, and will mean ill be able to pull meals out of my ass of a night after work.
as for right now; the mr has blended up some midori splice cocktails and im enjoying one with him before calling it a night and cuddling up after dinner together to watch zoolander.
la dolce vita.
ps. and courtesy of the gorgeous mariacallas, i present to you sparking catnurse. she always sends me the sweetest messages and images; and i just had to share this one with my blog. i love that woman.
