Yes It’s True.

I am looking for a buyer for Evelyn’s.  To make a long story short, I’m burned out…for many reasons, and I need to move on and focus on other parts of my life.  If you’re interested in buying the business, let me know — everything in the cafe (with the exception of my personal junk) comes with the business, so you’re ready to go…and if you’re really nice, I’ll show you how to make the chicken salad.  All reasonable offers considered…and the price is probably a lot lower than you think.

Stop by if you’re interested.

I’m planning on living here still, so I’ll be around the neighborhood.   :)

The business will probably remain open until the end of the month — I’d love to have the new person open in October so the neighborhood doesn’t have to deal with yet another closed business.

Pigtown Festival Tomorrow!

Rain or shine — this time I nixed having a booth. So if it rains, you’re welcome to hang here with us — it should be a fun day…

I baked some stuff, too.  Woot.

Aaaack.

Yet another big gap between blog posts — my goodness, you’d think I was busy…or something.  Passed out in the gutter doesn’t count, folks.  Just sayin’.

Not much is new — I walked down to Harbor East with one of the girls Sunday night to see Pineapple Express.  Seriously.  Stupid.  Yet.  Funniest.  Movie.  Ever.  And I had the munchies afterwards.  Hmmm.  Oh — and we stopped by Taco Fiesta before the movie — hellooooo fish tacos.  Mmmm….excellent.  Good guacamole, too.

So have you been keeping up with the Baltimore John Watch blog?  OMG…photo posts.  I’m dying.  They’re absolutely brilliant.

So that’s all I have for now — things are going on (kinda good stuff) and all is well.

Pigtown Festival

This year’s Pigtown festival should be great — it’s September 6th, so please save the date.  Lots of food and music…and a great way to meet your neighbors — especially if you’re a new resident.  It’s held on Washington Boulevard from the 700 block to the 900 block.

For more information, or to download a vendor application, please click here.

No, I won’t have a booth this year, but I will definitely be open!!

Hooker Mania

Apparently some people in the neighborhood are tired of being preyed upon by men searching for a good time with a hooker (can’t say I blame the residents…who wants that shit in the neighborhood?) And apparently some of those men are upset that there is now a website devoted to reporting their illegal activities.

I especially chuckled over the “It’s an invasion of our privacy!” argument…oh give me a break.  You’re having your [fill in the blank] sucked in an alley for five dollars, and you’re whining about your privacy being invaded?  Seriously?

Ah, but what do I know?  I’m just a yuppie barista.

A New Addition to the Blogroll

Welcome Bmore Sweet to the blogroll.  She’s into baking — so it was only logical that I would add her to the list of Blogs I Think Are Important on the right.  Mmm…baking…

So I promised someone I would make him a tiramisu, and a quick search turned up a recipe on her blog — it was fate.  Karma.  Whatever.  Good Lord it looks like a lot of work, but I said I would do it…maybe this weekend.  We’ll see.

Another Hiatus…

Sorry I haven’t written much lately — I’ve been so busy with work…and life — you know how it is.  Another day, another adventure.  Another cake that needs to be baked, another crisis that needs to be averted.  Yikes.  And “yay!” at the same time.  I wonder sometimes if life is simply a series of hoops we’re required to jump through…and once in a while we’re allowed to take a detour?

But all is well — for now….knock on wood.

I hear a cake calling — must dash.  :)

I’m smirking.  I wish I could tell you why, but I have a big ol’ smirk on my face.

Have I Mentioned Lately…

…how much it disgusts me to see men driving around the neighborhood, scanning for hookers?  Or trying to pick me up as I walk up the boulevard?

AH posted about it today, and I started thinking about all of those women…sitting at home, thinking their idiot husbands are “at the store” or “working late” when they’re actually cruising around our neighborhood looking for a cheap blowjob.  And it made me very glad to be single.

And yes, I really did get a mention in the hooker forum.  Ick.  They think I’m a yuppie.  HA HA HA HA HA.
