"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

lisah, I think when you're learning to print it is just easier to do it that way. All of the tracing books have arrows that show you the easiest way to make the letters.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like a metaphor.

It can be. I'm not opposed.

End of the work day and I am all out of ice cream sandwiches.

That sounds like a metaphor.

Like spoons, except more delicious.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wish I had an ice cream sandwich. Or ice cream.

I have ice cream (okay, made from coconut milk), and now I think I'm going to have some for what passes for dinner in my life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a glass of wine and a mug of ice cream after work, so yeah.

I got my roomba! It's a little loud.

I just had ice cream. We finally finished TCG's birthday cake from last week.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We finally finished TCG's birthday cake from last week.

I gave fully 1/4 of Matilda's cake to her friend Iris for her family. Also offloaded half the leftover pizza with Emmett.

I like a little bit of leftovers after a birthday party, but can't really have cake around all week.

Jesse is living the dream. And that's a fine choice, Theo!

I had scrambled eggs for dinner. With ketchup! Delicious.

I have pumpkin ice cream and Swedish ginger thins, and they make excellent tiny sandwiches.

But my big win today is I left the dog home while roomie was in her room, and said she could take him out if he wouldn't calm down....but apparently he called down after just a few minutes and she didn't have to! Yay!
