In NYC, at least, I have yet to find a rental car agency with a lower weekend day rate than most Zipcars.

Yeah, the one-day rental we had yesterday was like $150.

Hello, everyone! I've missed you.

I want to go to a spa right this second.

Also, I was woken up this morning by my two year old neighbor who was wearing only a red cardigan and one pink sock as she banged on my (glass) door while screaming with delight, "TITTY TAT!" Which is disconcerting. Incidentally, this was also how I woke up yesterday. And the day before. Though I believe she wore a yellow sweater on Friday. I think I have to have a talk with her mom. I'm not in love with this new routine.

Also, of all the things that I intended to accomplish today, which included things like doing a lot of writing and going to Target and cleaning, the only thing I did do was walk to Porto's and buy a fresh baguette. Which I promptly snacked on. Along with an apple and a slice of cheese. I highly recommend this. I also took a long bath this morning, which I would also recommend. Oh, and napping. I was out of all my other cold-beating medicines, so I had some Nyquil around 10 a.m. Allow me to be the first to say that this doesn't lead to productivity.

And now I have to go fight traffic on my way to dance class. But I wanted to say hi! I missed you guys!

(And as a complete aside, I rescued a really super sweet kitty last Friday and took her to the shelter. If anyone in the LA area was thinking about getting a cat, let me know if you want more details. She was RIDICULOUSLY sweet. She followed me to my car, and happily sat and napped in my lap for a good hour and a half. It half killed me to take her to the shelter, but since I didn't know what her possible issues were, I couldn't take her home to my two cats.)

Alibelle! I'm going to be in LA at the end of the month. Are you?

...are you sure it wasn't her cat?

Happy Birthday to Amy and Annabel!

OK, I made the thumbprint cookies discussed earlier this week, and they are delicious, but not as cute as I might have hoped. I'm thinking I should make another kind, and am considering oatmeal. Do we think most people like raisins in, or not? Or I could do chocolate chips.

Hi Ali!

Raisinets!

Happy Birthday Annabel and Amy!

Jesse, I think you should make chocolate crinkles-- they are my go to cookie(although I think the dough might have to chill- I haveb't really made cookies a lot since high school)

All oatmeal cookies should have raisins

These chocolate crinkles? They look delicious! But seem a little ambitous.

Raisinets!

Hee!
