office

I desperately need to set up an office with envelops, stamps, extra ink and paper, notebooks, binders, and folders. How on earth have I lived here for two years and failed so miserably at acquiring this?

Tomorrow starts round 2 of Mary's workshop. I'm horrified - I have no idea what to sing - and think I have completely forgotten how to act.

Yesterday Cara came over and made beignets for me and Kat. I am going to consider the beignets calorie-free because they are a New Orleans cultural experience which she wished to share with us. Let me tell you - she always talks about powdered sugar - and how she loads it onto her beignets - but - until I saw it - I didn't believe it! The powdered sugar was poured on so thickly - it was about twice the size of the beignets!!!!!!

I also broke in my new ice cream maker by making apple cider cream - which didn't freeze in time - but it did make for a most delightful milk shake.

Today I had a lovely dinner with Danielle, then got to talk to both Nathan and Morgandigo on the phone - which was fabulous - but also meant - no evil plots to take over the world were put into motion today --- but soon my pretties! Very soon.
