Weekend Update: Sugar Overload Edition

Good Morning, Kittens!

Although my weekend didn't start out so well, it ended on a SugarHigh Note!

Friday, after much internal dithering, I decided to go to the pottery studio. Unfortunately, I was totally unproductive. My first pot was a disaster. And, as I was finishing my second pot, my finger caught it and it was destroyed. Alas. I shoved the blobby clay bits back in my bag with hopes that next time will be better. Once home, I made a martini, and a bite to eat, and watched DVDs all night. Aaaaah ... so much better.

Saturday, I met Dana and the Skankified Ho and Carolyn for margaritas. It was so much fun. We drank. We ate. We had SuperBig Laughs. Such a good time.

Later that night, CNTBD came over. He had had an unpleasant few days, so we chilled with a bottle of wine and a couple of episodes of Melrose Place. MP makes everything better. Srsly.(There was also some Quality Nekkid Time, but I don't believe I should be blogging about that!).

On Sunday, my upstairs neighbor, K-Factor, and I went over to CNTBD's house for a baking party! I made some rice balls (onigiri) for snacking and brought a bottle of prosecco (for drinking). While there, I made Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes with a chocolate glaze. K-Factor made chocolate chocolate chocolate chip cookies. And, CNTBD made molasses cookies. OMG. so much fun. so delicious. I think I am still a bit high on all the sugar ...

Here are some fun photos:

Mmmm. Frosting.


And, that would be my weekend. I will be uploading a few more pix to flickr later in the day. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: The Flickr Set is here!

    Oooh, a delicious finish to a disappointing week!

    I've spent the weekend in a vanilla-induced stupor. My husband, the Pied Piper of Sensual Pleasures, has gotten into making exotic liqueurs. We ordered a POUND of vanilla beans (for the unbelievable price of $20! $20! $20!) and a gram of fine saffron, and they arrived on Friday and he promptly steeped a LOT of both of them in bottles filled with fine spirits. Oh my my my, you cannot begin to imagine a Cuba Libre made with this stuff.

    If you're interested in a great cheap source of vanilla beans, let me know... I can hook ya up!

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

Shaken. Bruised. And Just the Facts.

This is not the post I was intending to write this evening, but ... I need to write things down to sort them out in my head as best as possible. At approximately 2:50PM on my walk home from the metro station, I was attacked from behind. I have walked down Wayne Avenue at least twice a day for 5 years, at all hours of the day and night. I have always felt perfectly safe doing so. Even today didn't seem out of the ordinary. As I approached the intersection of Dale and Wayne, I passed a young black man in his early 20s. I made eye contact and nodded. I crossed Dale and heard a noise. I turned and saw someone running up Dale. That's when I noticed someone following me. I turned off my iPod and reached for my phone. And he jumped me, putting me in a chokehold and trying to pull me to the ground. I began hitting him over my shoulder with my large umbrella (which, sadly, is now in pieces). I hit myself in the head a couple times, too, and have a few lumps. He pulled me to the ...

Weekend Update: Thanks for the Memories, NYC!

Good afternoon, kittens! I am back from an ... eventful trip to New York City. I wish I could post more pictures, but, as you will learn in a bit, there is a Very Good Reason. On Friday, after work, I hopped on the Amtrak. It was uneventful ... except I lost my hat. Sad. I really liked that hat. Once, I arrived at Penn Station, I transferred to the subway and rode up to 50th Street. David was attending a show, so I found a little Irish bar, had a beer, and waited for the show to end. Eventually, he found me and we had a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant that was yummy and I have completely forgotten the name. Lime something? Lime Jungle? Something like that anyway. Then, we went back to David's fabulous apartment in Brooklyn. This is the kitchen: Even though it is bigger than my entire apartment, I am not jealous. The next morning, we got up and went to IKEA. David forced me to carry a 7000 pound futon frame for 58 miles through all 42 Burroughs of New York City. Seri...
