knock on that

I drove out to Target this afternoon to pick up a new toothbrush holder -- something that wouldn't shatter all over the bathtub when accidentally knocked from the sink, not that I did that with the last one, ahem. It has been quite chilly all day, but beautiful, with a melancholy touch of autumn in the air. I love this slanting late-afternoon sunlight, and cozy long sleeves, and hot chocolate with a hint of cinnamon.

Our apartment is a bit of a disaster. No comment on whose fault that is. But I've been thinking lately that it'd be nice to have people over for dinner, and it's hard to do that when the place looks like it's been infested by gremlins on a bender. And this is getting to be the perfect time of year for amazing end-of-summer slow food. I'm thinking maybe some summer squash lasagna and a bottle of red wine, shared among friends along with a lot of laughter and good conversation. Who's in?
