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.  :)

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.

And In Other News…

Some tidbits and links:

1.  JJT finally has dining room chairs.  Yes, this is newsworthy.  Apparently he only has two, and I will keep you updated as to the status of the other two as information becomes available.

2.  I am not closing the cafe.  In fact, I hope to stay here until they drag my fat ass out in a pine box.  Thanks to the generosity and support of friends and neighbors, I was able to take care of some outstanding issues, and I owe them a party.  That will happen before the summer is out, I promise.

3.  Smith & Wesson thinks it’s a good idea for women to own pink guns.  I think it’s bullshit, frankly, and wouldn’t be caught dead (no pun intended) with one.  I’m more partial to this little beauty.

4.  Someone thought it would be a good idea to grab me and try to drag me down an alley.  Unfortunately, he quickly found just how bad this idea was and at the very least has a fat lip…and perhaps one or two missing teeth.  I’m fine and no worse for the wear, although I’m still a little mad about it.  I could have broken a heel.  Or ripped my jeans.  Dammit.

5.  I baked a coconut cake for the cafe.  Please come in and eat it so I’m not tempted.  Thanks.

Barre Circle Mugging

This morning, a neighbor who lives on McHenry (between Otterbein and Scott) was mugged. The mugger was described as a black male, 50-55 years old, 5′8″ or 9″ tall, dark skin and short hair. He was also walking with a fake limp and used a cane…which he then used to hit the victim before snatching her purse. This happened at approximately 9 AM.

Um..Hmm…Yeah…

So I’m not the greatest party planner in the world.  Tonight I ended up going to Carroll Station for dinner and then hanging out with H & A at their house.  And now I’m home baking a lemon bundt cake even though it’s almost 12:30.

I will, however, plan some kind of celebratory thing…soon.  I promise.

Save The Date

I know it’s short notice, but don’t make plans for Saturday evening.  I might have something to celebrate.  I’m just sayin’…..

Sorry…

…I haven’t been in much of a writing mood lately, as you can well imagine.  I will resume my blog once things settle down a bit.  Pray that everything works out, please.
