Many good things

Lots of good things on this Friday off work.

1. My sis has a cool interview on Carfree American today
2. Got to see roseambr
3. Had lunch at New Cascadia Bakery, a gluten-free bakery and café that let roseambr and me eat pizza and a brownie and a little strawberry galette, all delicious, with no unfortunate side effects--AND I brought home a half-loaf of a seedy bread that is actually breadlike \o/
4. We bought one-dollar annuals at the nursery
5. I picked out my new front door (a little home improvement project that's coming up)
6. I rode to the lovely and gracious home of serenity_valley and str8ontilmornin for a delightful home made dinner of potato soup and a gorgeous salad, and conversation about transportation, fandom, and the strange phenomenon of Twilight (complete with four-volume synopsis highlighting the story's many...inexplicable plot elements) plus orange-essence cheesecake by str8ontilmornin (so, so delicious)
7. On the ride home, after dark, just as I was feeling a little exposed out in the busy streets, I caught up with the Bowie vs Prince bike ride (loud stereos, colored lights, lots of hooting) and rode almost all the way home with them
8. Chapter 33 of Restraint is almost done.
