Also in the "happened last night" section:

There's an extremely friendly street cat that hangs regularly around my building. I let him (or her, I didn't check) in from time to time, especially when it's cold outside. If I could only have it in my apartment, I would do so in a heartbeat.

Anyway, last night he sneaked into the building when I opened the door. Of course, he brushed itself against me like wonderful friendly cats do, and I showed it my appreciation. I entered the elevator, and it goes with me. I melt from cuteness. And then, a problem: I stand in front of my door, it wants to come in, I know I can't let it in.

So I called the elevator again, went down, trying to convince it to come outside (it was kindda late, I was afraid it might get stuck in the building whole night long). The whole thing repeated itself about 3 times. I could convince it to leave the building, but I was finally able to enter the elevator without the fuzzy escort.

That cat was so full with affection. You don't get to meet a lot of street cats like it.

Hi Shir!!

I have no idea why I'm still awake--last night I couldn't sleep, and was up reading until 4:30AM. And then got up this morning at 8:30AM. Ridic!

What was the 1/c referring to? It's...not a measurement I"m accustomed to. 1 c would be one cup, but...1/c? a badly written 1 t?

Living on the west coast, I do miss NY's delis and diners. Denny's & IHOP are poor substitutes. Although, here in Long Beach, there are a number of mom & pop places, but they all seem to be mornings only. Which means I rarely get the chance to hit them.

Hi meara!

1/c was referring to flour, but there was also use of c, which I assume meant "cup". So I added 1/2 cup of flour.

And wow, aren't you tired?

Wow Sarameg, that was quite an accident!

I am running late for work, which I hate, because there is a class. I woke up at 4:22 yesterday, was on the bus by 5:30, to work by6:20, worked until 5:30, went to theatre, worked until 8:40; and got home at 10:00. No wonder I could not get up this am, especially as I could not fall asleep. Also my cat woke me up ay 3, by laying on my butt and kneading it!

We went to Denny's and or Perkins almost every weekend night in High School. And, living in the boonies, we drove 45 minutes to get there! In college we used to sit and smoke for hours in Perkins, doing our homework.

I'm pretty sure I actually wrote 1/c in a recipe I was copying over just the other day! And I did mean to write 1/2 c.

So the banana nut muffin recipe is yours?

I'm pretty sure I actually wrote 1/c in a recipe I was copying over just the other day! And I did mean to write 1/2 c.

I do this ALL THE TIME.

I blame the internet. Typing all day makes writing by hand seem too slow and I wind up skipping letters. Also, why do hand-written index cards not come with spell-check? Come on!

I was early to work this morning, but not as early as the new employee who got here BEFORE 8!! And of course, I did not have him in the security system so that he could get into the building.

I'm glad to see that Denny's makes Nutty immediately think of me.

Also, Deli Haus! I feel like I did not make sufficient use of Deli Haus before it was gone, gone, gone. Many people went there after the club got out, but what with the lack of public transportation at night and my boyfriend living literally next door, I generally didn't indulge. Alas, Deli Haus, I hardly knew ye.
