Today. Wednesday. Good-smelling rain and dirt. Two-hour high school theater rehearsal. Grocery store. Pasta salad. This recipe.  Used cucumbers instead. Zucchinis at store too shriveled and sad. Giant cucumbers only 50 cents each.

Extra feta on top. Still healthier than what I've been eating lately.

This weekend: to Rennes, gonna stay with host girl from 2002! Nine years later. Cross your fingers for predicted temperature of 73 on Saturday. Gonna see the ocean!

P.S. Thank goodness for paychecks and tax returns. Reaction upon receiving monthly salary:

"It's here! The paycheck! Yay!" "Yieee Haaa! Ariba"
