lasagna & chocolate cake

i don't know of a tastier food than lasagna. seriously, i don't. and i don't know of a more worthy way of feeling fuller-than-full-and-sick-to-your-stomach than by topping it off with paul's DIVINE chocolate cake (thanks, brooke, for sharing some of that with us so many years ago...my thighs have not been the same since). that's all. the simple pleasures. like sporting a spiderman bandaid on a prominent finger wound because we ran out of flesh-colored "adult" bandaids. and sneaking a pack of fruit snacks to eat without sharing even one because they're just so delish. like solving the sudoku in pen. and going jogging on a sunshiney and glorious afternoon. and being a teensy but noticeable bit sore the next day from said jogging. and getting many out-of-the-blue hugs and kisses from those little ones i'd be hard-pressed to live without (heh...MOST of the time). ahh happiness.
