Return to Normal

Recently I found myself on the phone, 

saying "I'm just running errands tonight..."

And I realized: A return to normal life is lovely.

Lovely also was the spontaneous inclusion of this special girl, 

 whose original plan for the evening was to follow her sister around at her new school orientation,

but who ultimately decided there were
much more important ways to spend her time.

After our errands were over, 

 we returned to my house to find
Ginger in the middle of a cookie making spree, 

 which we jumped right in on.

 Investing deeply in the making,

 we decided we needed to wait around for the baking.
We hung out, lazily.  We googled characters from Harry Potter.  We discussed important life issues, such as whether or not having your tooth numbed for a small cavity is worth losing feeling in your face for the rest of the day.  Then, we watched our favorite food network, in order to make us hungry for:

YUM.

By the end of our spontaneous and slightly random evening,

the evidence was clear:

Hooray.  For Normal.
