Avoiding the vortex

I'm really trying to get on and off the computer in record time today... I never cease to be amazed at what a time sucker it can be, and I've got lots I want to do today.

Yesterday was full with a ton of cooking and baking. The bug bit me and I made a huge mess in the kitchen. I made beef satay with peanut sauce, a brownie and raspberry torte and peanut butter toffee bars. It all turned out delicious. I took the desserts to bible study last night and received a marraige proposal. Asia better be on his guard.

It's supposed to be in the 70's here today. I pulled my summer clothes out of the basement closet a couple of days ago, and am wearing capris today. My toes are freezing sans socks, but I just know by the end of the day I'll be toasty. I have the cutest skirt to wear tomorrow for our Cinco de Mayo crop at the store... Isn't it wonderful to wear flirty clothes after a winter of long sleeves and heavy sweaters? I was toying with the idea of getting a pedicure today, but I probably won't go do it. I always feel like a pedicure is something to go do with a girlfriend, and I don't have a pedicure girlfriend.

Okay. I'm going now. The dog and I are going for a walk.

Have a great Thursday.

(Oh, and just FYI... we're SO not moving to Stevenson. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. There were NO houses for sale. And I don't want to live in the gorge. I'm truly not a big fan of wind. And I was serious about the drug dealer thing. What else is there to do there? Never fear. I'm staying right here with my new kitchen.)

    Whew! I wish I could go to the crop tomorrow night and see your flirty skirt, but I have something else going on.

    PS. Sorry, I don't do pedicures!

    1. I would totally be your pedicure partner, since I am so in need of one.
    2. We love Beef Satay with peanut sauce (and chicken with the same), mmm wonderful... Have you ever served it with couscous?
    I just wanted to say couscous.
    3. I'm glad you don't have to leave that dream kitchen of yours. Really.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
