simplicity

i love how a simple day can turn out to be wonderful:
- enjoyed my coffee instead of my weekday habit of chugging it while getting ready
- deposited my paycheck since i crashed a mile before getting there yesterday
- organized a huge pile of coupons that had been stacking up
- floated around the pool [the one pro for 95 degree weather in september]
- tried out a new chicken parm recipe. dad thought i made the sauce from scratch with fresh tomatoes. my secret: sauteed fresh garlic in olive oil then added a jar of barilla's tomato basil marinara
- decided i owed it to the jetta to wash & vacuum it - note to self: stop eating your breakfast in the car on the way to work. the crumbs were out of control

nothing spectacular, but it was such a perfectly low-key day. i've found that after working nonstop all week, by the time the weekend rolls around, i want nothing more than to slow down and relax. looking forward to another day of the same tomorrow!
