While i was freaking out pretty hard about work when i went to bed last night, and had work-driven nightmares all night, i managed to have a pretty darned lovely weekend. Another list of good things:

--A new friend, growing ever closer. I realized this weekend how rare it is to meet someone outside of one's social circles as i get older - and what a treat it is to happen across someone new who quickly becomes such a good friend. Thank you, Mary Anne, for bringing me a Naomi. 8)
--A lovely trip to the farmers' market. A solitary prowl, and then a second one with company. Arriving reasonably early, smelling the water, gazing at the bridge, inhaling the scent of the produce, and so many people so close to the source of their food. I'm not sure i can convey the simply joy i was filled with all morning.
--Three-quarters of an hour with my Sterling and a large cup of Peet's, looking over the bay.
--Lunch with Naomi at the Tadich Grill, the oldest restaurant in SF. (Established in 1849! A proper lunch counter!)
--A long tromp downtown, with tasty bath treats from Lush.
--A new knife, and a leisurely meander around Williams-Sonoma.
--A tasty dinner, just for me. (photo op soon to be posted at Gastronome)
--A long morning cooking with Russell
--A long lunch, with my Mom-in-law, Sis-in-law, and Russell.
--A long walk, including a turn around Dolores Park, admiring the men and doggies and kids lolling about in the sun and racing about.
--Looking through a few flats & houses for sale - one which we could even afford. ;)
--Dressing up for Mo's birthday cocktail party - visiting with so many lovely friends who i haven't seen in a while.
--Knowing that Tammy graduated and we'll get to see her again soon!!
--A husband who takes very good care of me, even when i'm really difficult to deal with due to work angst & hormones.
