Sunday's Satisfactions

Sunday's Satisfactions

1. Scoring tickets to see Bob Dylan/Elvis Costello/Amos Lee in October and Rent in November.

2. "Artistic" Integrity. I went to buy some of my favorite goat's cheese at the Farmer's Market yesterday; the seller said they had two batches of it, but that it wasn't being sold because it wasn't up to his wife's standards (it being not salty enough/too salty). He then gave me a large chunk of it for free, as long as I didn't tell on him. It was refreshing to see that they put so much pride in their product, that they weren't going to sell it just to make a buck, but were so wonderfully willing to give some away because I wanted it so badly.

3. The arrival of Autumn! That crisp Autumn bite is in the air, the wind has turned, and it's so lovely to be outside. I'm ready to break out my old riding styled boots, scarves, and lightweight coats. Autumn really is my most fashionable season.

4. Spending Sunday's making beautiful & delicious food, catching up on great TV, spending time with my best boy-mate. Filet Mignons, garlic and goat cheese mashed potatoes, rosemary and onion focaccia, and blanched asparagus! Yum!

5. Being included in the Fabulous! Festival, hosted at All About Appearances. This is my first blog carnival, and I'm excited to have been involved! Not to mention, there are some great posts; my favorites include Autumnal Hats at Hattastic, How to Wear Colorful Make-up at Jumble Life (and boy oh boy do I advocate colorful make-up!), and Une Femme d'un Certain Age's take on color, neutrality, and black and white film.
