Wednesdays are my favorite.  I work from 11:30-8:30 (instead of the normal 8:30-5:30), which puts a cramp in my social life sometimes, but is oh so nice in the morning!  Today included some coffee with a friend and lots of not much else.  Perfect.  I’ve been in a writing funk lately, so this is more about pictures.  First, a recap of the weekend.  There were lots of moments like this:

One of my friends has a pretty impressive finger puppet collection in her car, and she let me entertain myself with them on the drive across Houston.  There are also some pictures of things like a friend laying out on a beach blanket that happens to have Jack Bauer with “Bauer Power Hour” written across it.  Wonderful weekend.

Today it’s sunny and gorgeous outside.  I look totally professional except for one little detail.  You can’t let a day like this slip by without some sort of celebratory gesture:
