Celebrating my last day of freedom
On Monday I start my new job. This has a been a week filled with cleaning, shopping, completing my photography class portfolio, shopping, cooking, and shopping. I thought I’d play all week, have lunches with friends, hang out at the pool and finish the book I’m reading. But there was no time. And today, the Summer of Catheroo ends.
Right now the washing machine is spinning my sheets, and I just ironed my duvet cover. Yes, I ironed it. No, I am not a crazy neat freak. I just want the purple and grey duvet cover to look its best so that when Matte sees that I replaced his blue one, he’ll be so astounded at the Martha Stewart-esque presentation, he won’t mind the switch.
I am baking chocolate chip cookies for our open house Sunday because we ate the batch I made a couple of days ago. Yes, they are that good. Even before they hit the oven.
And I am drinking sangria. I have to practice Ali’s recipe before I offer the nectar of the gods it to Sunday’s guests, don’t I?
May I have a glass of sangria? Pleeeez?
Just don’t put all the cookies in the FREEZER please. That’s sooooo weird. I almost flash-froze my fingertips off and broke a tooth last night biting into the one you gave me.
So how does it taste?
Just wanted to tell you that I really like your photos. Good job.
Yummy cookies!
I was so lucky to have Sangria (elsewhere) yesterday, and they made it w red wine, lemon sparkling water, vermouth, & fresh fruit pieces as garnish (orange, apple)
I highly approve of all this cookie eating! Not so much the ironing of the duvet, but I am broad-minded enough to know that not everyone enjoys the same squalor I do.
