Don't Call 911, Call God

I was told that whilst eating dinner at Dukem tonight. I have to say that if I am bleeding profusely, I'm calling 911. I really do love eating outside.

Yesterday I forgot my wallet, it made me realize that with enough planning I don't need to spend money everyday on food at work. I know that is common sense, but luckily I had brought leftovers and didn't have to starve. So, I brought food again today for lunch.

I have at least three cats in my kitty colony that I am feeding everyday. What really worries me is, what happens when I move? Who will take care of them?

I am very happy it is Earth Day/week. There are a lot of blogs that have been worth looking at, when it is not so close to my bedtime, I will make links.

Nathan is at the Caps game. I barely know what this is.

I need to see if Law and Order is on, so good night!

Tandem Bike

Nathan has been saying for awhile that he wanted a tandem bike, well we have one now!

It is a lot more fun than I imagined. I think I will girl-up the back.

Thai Xing

So good.
Especially when:
  • Eaten on the porch
  • In 70 degree weather
  • With wine
  • and boyfriend
*not necessarily in that order

The Positive Spread of Cupcakes

This weekend I made some amazing new cupcakes, well new for me. Rosewater Pistachio; Marble with Chocolate Buttercream frosting; and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip with Cinnamon frosting. All of them were vegan. That's right, I am going back, or trying to. It has been over a week since I have eaten animal products. I don't really want to get into any discussions about my decision, so let's not. Vegans get very defensive and I will do my best to not be that way.

Anyway, this week started work yoga! It was great, I like yoga at work.

This weather! It is wonderful. Dania is coming to visit and I cannot wait to sit outside with her and Carolyn and sip on margaritas.

No more weeds! I cleared the front yard on Sunday and Nate laid down mulch. Now our yard is not an embarrassment to our neighbors. I did spread the cupcake love to them!

If you are ever interested in baked goods, stop by on Sundays...

Oh, and the pope. He is around town today. He made it difficult to park my bike this morning. It is nice to see the city so alive, it makes it feel more like summer somehow.

George, Washington

I was talking to Ben last night and we decided that a good place to live would be George, Washington. Look at their road signs!



I also wondered if we lived there if we could play Twin Peaks. He would come down to the beach front and I would be wrapped in plastic. Mostly, I think this would be a nice place to have pie shop. Just think, Dale Cooper might stop by!

I am turning into my boyfriend

I am making friends online.

I made three pies yesterday, lemon meringue, blueberry, and key lime. I also made guacamole, chocolate chip waffles and the most amazing home fries I have ever had. I always forget to take pictures because food is more exciting in my tummy than in a picture. I will work on this, promise.

Sputnik had surgery last week. She was soooo snuggly all weekend. I just had to separate her and Warner because she is back to her old self, i.e. romping.

I want to take cake decorating classes, the only place I can find them is Cake Love, which is amazing, but I would have to go to Silver Spring and they are expensive, ~$60 for one class!

Whoa, look at the time! I need to be asleep in t-minus four minutes!

yikes!

Worth looking into

I don't know if I have ever heard a better tag line for a movie. Wow.
