A beautiful hot day for the Alzheimer's walk this morning, and I think a good time was had by all! (Except my slightly whiny six-year-old cousin.) Thanks for joining us, Theo!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
YAY, AURELIA!!
I made macaroons for the first time last night. Used parchment paper for the first time, made a sizing mistake with the cookies (too big, had to reshape all of them, was worried about over, since it acted weird the other night.)
But they were DELICIOUS! I did a really good job, and I'm proud of myself. New recipe!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Way to go with the walking and the fundraising and the cookies and the glayvin!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I am striving to be an obedient servant to the pomodoro timer today. So far so good.

I'm excited that I am feeling much better -- was afraid the walk would be it for me today -- so I think I'm going to make this elaborate baked shells in roasted pepper cream sauce I've had my eyes on!

Brava walkers!
I'm bummed: it's a cloudy day and it would be nice to bake, but the oven won't work without power at that outlet, damn it.
What I need to do today is hang some pictures and clean house and do laundry. But I ran nearly 4 miles this morning and I would really like to just laze around. Sigh.

I'm vegging on the patio now, with my Fitbit hovering at not quite 10K steps. Later, there may be bread baking, but for right now it's feet up time. Oh, and I have my new t-shirt on. :-)
It was a really lovely walk, with nice people, and the kiddo wasn't that whiny, just tired, and calmly dealt with by the parental units. That was no bother at all for the other team members, from where I stood.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I, OTOH, ran out to Menard's, got what I needed and...stopped in at Marshall's and spent an enormous amount of money. In my defense, all kinds of stuff I need/want was on clearance. I ended up with:
For me: 2 dresses, 1 shirt, 1 big comfy Blackhawks hoodie, one pair flats and a pair of awesome fall boots.
For my apt: gorgeous deep purple bath towels
For the house: calphalon deep sautéed pan, curtains for the bedroom, and two large throws
For the dog: new hammock thing for the back seat as the current one is falling apart, 1 cute red sweater that will hopefully bother her less than her sheepskin coat, and about a gazillion dog bags.
I hope that's all. Phew.
