A coffee popsicle would be amazing if it weren't fifty degrees here. Where'd the spring go???
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

May is fickle, weather-wise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know, I've made coffee ice cubes, but I never thought of coffee popsicles! Brilliant.
So I'm on the train and the woman across the aisle is painting her nails. I see where it seems like a good idea, with all the time sitting still, but the fumes are just rude. Ion, the woman who sat down next to me asked if she could leave her stuff here while she went to sit in the cafe car. HELL YES. Seat taken with no one in it? Perfect.

And I do! Which is why it's so cold in here, probably. And since we're on the fourth floor, it's almost always chillier inside than down on the sidewalk.
I'm pretty sure nail polish fumes on a train falls into the same category as fish in an office microwave - just say no.

Because books.
Nail polish fumes anywhere but at home or a nail salon are a big no. Blech.
It's warmer here, Jessica -- maybe it's heading your way?
I want to experiment with iced tea popsicles now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have a hard enough time painting my nails in my house, which is generally not rocking back and forth.

Oh, I'm sure it's lovely outside! But windows open + fourth floor = brrrrr.
(I can't complain too much, the great ventilation we have is a godsend in the summer.)

Me too. "Earl Grey. Frozen." has a nice ring to it.
The main things to keep in mind seems to be that the coldness makes flavors less intense, so start with extra strong, and sugar is good for the texture. Speaking from my vast experience of one successful coffee popsicle.

Oh, always. You'd have to steep the tea extra long before freezing. I wonder if Splenda will freeze okay, though?

We're on the third floor here, and the same is true when we're out on the porch -- if the wind's blowing, it's like ten degrees cooler out there than on the ground.
We're seeing the Brandywine Ballet do The Wizard of Oz this afternoon -- two of Sara's classmates are in it, as members of the Lollipop Guild. Apparently, the taller girls had to take boys' roles.
I hear there's an actual dog playing Toto, too, which should be interesting.
