have/n't.

i haven't really been blogging much lately.
but i have:
been anxiously awaiting spring's arrival, due this week.
spent three days in the company of two very fun young men [nephews had a sleepover].
listened to records: haydn's london symphony and bert kaempfert's wonderland by night.
perused the daily design blogs and been inspired.
mixed up a new batch of wonderfully smooth ciabatta, which i shall bake in perhaps two or three days, if i can wait that long.
enjoyed brie cheese and store-bought ciabatta for two lunches in the past three days.
scored a polyphonic keyboard [analog fan-powered "organ"] at the aux.
finished a few books and returned half of my stack to the library.
been thinking about starting a succulent garden.
been wishing i could remember more french.
been reading about france [victor hugo's hunchback of notre dame, and a modern book on the french girl mindset].
put considerable daydreaming into a certain east coast destination with a particular friend.
been dying to get a haircut.
been sipping palais royale tea; i've got pellegrino for tomorrow.
been considering a new bottle of nail polish, in a general sort of way.
been reading through the oxford book of victorian verse. i'll post a nice poem soon.

i am really ready for winter to be over, to go on a bike ride, and to get out of town.
wouldn't weekends be fun if they were filled with all sorts of new adventures?
even weeks would suffice.
