Yuck, vw. I hope the coughing has stopped. How uncomfortable. Much sleep~ma to you.

Oh VW that sucks so bad. I'm so sorry. Can you throw it all in the washer and just go sleep somewhere else and put it in the dryer tomorrow? :(

Those chcolate cupcakes they have been talking about in Natter - mocha buttercream frosting

Gah. THat sounds REALLY good. I want one!!

I went to a Georgetown basketball game, and played with the pep band (I'm an alum). I felt very old, becuase I was talking to this girl who's a senior...and the people who were seniors HER freshman year? Were freshmen my senior year. Sigh. (Also, she's going to the Diplomatic Ball with this guy who was a freshman my senior year, who I hooked up with at the very end of the year, and have always kind of wished we'd tried that earlier...). And then we LOST the game, in the last like, 10 seconds. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I'ma go out dancing later.

good grade {{vw}} sorry about the evening's end.

and in an xpost from natter:

ok. made the CI cupcakes. that is a grown up cupcake - nice rich dark chocolate. way better than average. I put a mocha butter cream on them.

This is the first time in my life that one chocolate cupcake was enough. that much chocolate in a cupcake....

CONGRATULATIONS RIO AND BOB!!!!

the second picture was made by my beading teacher. and she has two articles. the first tells you how to do that necklace. the second is on her shop, Kiowa Rose.

BTW, none of my projects look like that.

and FYI, this issue talks about makeing Tiaras.

Well, Bastet's in a different county from vw right now, but I'm pretty sure she has Toto and Parents' Dog curled up next to her. And she's coming home tomorrow, so there's that.

Oh vw, that sucks. I hope the asthma subsides so you can get some sleep.

Can you throw it all in the washer and just go sleep somewhere else and put it in the dryer tomorrow?

That's exactly what I did. I slept on the couch with Toto all curled up at my feet and Rachie by the edge of the couch. But, it looks like I've ruined the sheets as well as the pillows. Lovely.

I hope the asthma subsides so you can get some sleep.

It finally did. Thank you.

And now it's morning. At least I get to go back home today.

vw, if it's not too late, don't dry them, and wash them again. Keep washing, 'til the stains come out. If you dry them, the heat may set the stains.

Do you have any color-safe bleach (or, if the sheets are white, do you have regular bleach)?

beth, did you use Dutched Cocoa, or just regular?

You can now buy SPAM in a "single slice pouch."

Huh.
