good evening!

what are you up to this saturday evening?  here's what i'm up to:

i'm putting music onto my computer and i'm listening to florence + the machine on said computer.  i'm watching a big monarch caterpillar, two medium sized monarch caterpillars and two teeny monarch caterpillars eating their yummy swan plant on my dining room table.  i'm wondering if  there is enough swan plant to go around and thinking maybe i should buy some pumpkin for them to munch on.

i'm looking around my tidy lounge and feeling quite pleased with myself for the good job i did cleaning and tidying today.  at the same time i'm looking quite sternly at the basket of washing waiting patiently to be folded, wondering why on earth it won't learn to fold itself. 

i'm eating raspberry flavoured rock candy from my friend's wedding and debating with myself as to whether or not i really need the last bottle of peachee bundaberg in the fridge.  i probably do need it.

i'm thinking about ollie's upcoming birthday.  i'm searching online for party inspiration.  i'm wondering if the effort that i put into his parties is for his sake or mine.  or both.  i'm feeling quite sad that he will be five.  however, i'm cherishing the picture of me he drew today. 

i'm wondering what might be on tv to fill in the rest of evening.  i'm wondering what i currently have on the needles that i can work on.  i'm planning on writing a list of all the crafting projects i have to complete in the next few weeks.

i'm waiting for a text from my lovely lovely friend to tell me she has gone into labour.  then i'm waiting for a text from her husband to say she's had her baby.  this probably won't happen tonight.  but i would like it to.
