Fay should always be blushing, because people should always be saying lovely things about her. You do light up this board with smiles and happiness.

Raq! I hope your life settles into a less stressful pattern soon.

Today was the first day all week I don't have anything to do, and TCG took the day off, so I was looking forward to sleeping in. So, of course, I have been awake for hours.

Excellent response Cindy!

Hey Raq! I'm glad you had posting pictures on your list because I have been enjoying them. I hope things calm down for you.

Did you sleep well, vw?

Eh. But, it's ok. It's a little cooler today, so it's ok. I actually was up for a while around 4 a.m. I think I got cold, actually. So, I snuggled up with Toto when I went back to bed (I don't let him sleep with me when I'm hot. I just can't deal), and we slept for a few more hours.

Narp?

laughing like a drain at KristinT's tag because I just saw Hot Fuzz! last night and it was awesome

Last night was so much fun. We met up after work for dinner and then went to a movie, which was very much a break from our routine, which I think I/we needed. Pork sandwiches are awesome. Hot Fuzz! is awesome. It's Friday, yay!

Also, the theater we went to is a local independant which is just so adorable I want to go see movies there all the time now.

Yay for cooler. When it is warmest it seems everyone wants to be in bed with me. DH, and the dog, and the cat. Yuck. Yay fans.

At this point the A/C is on until we leave for Otter Lake. Only 3 weeks left of school. Don't know when I will get to head north though.

Off to take Bobby to school. Later....

TCG turned on the overhead fan last night before he got into bed, which was so sweet because he hates having anything blowing on him at night and I can't reach it to turn it on. I'm very happy that it is cooler today.

Hmm, turns out, breakfast is cheesecake filling with chocolate sauce on it.

I went to a professional conference yesterday, picked up all kinds of nifty pens and stuff. By stuff I mean foam boomarangs, glittery pompoms, a manicure set, and a plastic triangle that turns out to have different colored highlighters at each corner. I attended a couple of classes that were fun to go to but not particularly revolutionary in content. Well, unless you count the spoon-bending thing. There was a class on using intuition - which I was hoping to hone my skillz in because it really ramps up one's ability to make a difference in the lives of people who often have poor verbal skills. The presenter did a demonstration of spoon bending. I was sooooooooo disappointed. She used her hands. Both hands. I thought all the fuss was about using mental powers to bend them. That would have been extremely cool. But NO! Spoon bending is all brute force, crap I've done on accident any number of times. But on the upside, I did run into an old friend from college whom I haven't seen or heard from in 15 years or so. He's got three kids, and I'm assuming he's still married to his high school sweetheart.

How is the cheesecake filling? I saw it at the market the other day, and I'm curious.

I like it. It doesn't have the same texture as a properly baked one, but it is as good as the better no-bake cheesecakes. It doesn't have that funny box-mix aftertaste that some of them do. I've used it with graham cracker crust, and it was good. It's also good with no crust for anyone who wants to trim out the extra sugars and starches of the crust. Tastes good with sliced strawberries (and I'm sure it would work with any fruit one likes with cheesecake), and really works with some Hershey's syrup.
