Ugh Consuela, you've more than earned a day off.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

The crazy thing was, this was my day off. And I had three appointments scheduled for Dad, and one for myself.
At least I didn't have to cancel my hair appointment, which is tomorrow.

I don't want a Blizzard. I want the espresso shake the local coffee house makes: vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and a shot of top notch espresso. So good!
I gave up sugar and artificial sweetners for a few weeks, and now I drink coffee with just whole milk. I drink a lot of fizzy water with lime and iced tangerine zinger tea.
Amyth, I'll look forward to hearing your reaction to the latest WtNV episodes.
Steph, I love your shirt in the skating photo!

I hope you are undisturbed, Consuela. That's a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope your weekend is better, Consuela.

Mmm, espresso shake. That sounds so good! I think I used to get something like that from Rue de la Course? Somewhere. So simple and so good.
I am making cookies and cream popsicles in an attempt to (a) get my mojo back and (b) have something vaguely like a Blizzard to nom.

That was actually a memorial/fundraiser a few years ago for a local guy who was shot and killed by the police when he was unarmed. (The sadly shocking part is that he was a white guy, because it isn't white guys who the cops usually kill around here.) He was a drummer, so the crossbones of the sugar skull are drumsticks.

My favorite ice cream store makes an affogato that I am dying to try, but we are always going there after dinner, and I can't with the coffee 8 o'clock at night or I'll never get to sleep.

Well, popsicle mojo not entirely regained, although I have a much better success rate with my older single-serving quick pop maker than with the new three-serving one, so I feel a little bit justified in blaming my tools some.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I promised my boss I would work this weekend. She wants "to see some progress" on The Thing by 11am on Monday. And she tells me this on a Friday. It isn't even due until November! Damn it.
