doing nothing feels good.

bike


saturday night was by far my favorite.
we found a cheap bike for me on the side of the road.  brad worked on it all night to spruce it up. 
i made some shrimp and salsa, so he paused the bike working and we ate on the floor (which we actually do 6 days out of 7).
he kept working, so i folded laundry next to him. all the while we were listening to some great npr stories in the background.  it was quiet, and mellow. after i was done, i made some cookies.  by this time it was 11:00.
we finished the night with some chocolate chip and walnut cookies with milk in bed.
we both agreed that it turned out to be a much needed night together.

That doesn't sound like a night of doing nothing together. YOu made salsa AND cookies while Brad was working on your bike. I was thinking that you lounged on the sofa whilest doing nothing! Haha! But nights like that when you are together are so nice!

I love you Melis. This post made me want to do something like that. Relaxed, together, calm.
