oh hello

right. hi.
it's been awhile. um.
just busy over here.

sent off a big email today with a HUGE project.... it's getting there.... i'll talk about it for reals soon [i did let a hint of it slip out the other day].

i'm a year older. [flowers from hubby]



with some really nice folks remembering my birthday. whimsy & spice cookies from paper monkey press .

pretty gosh darn amazing cookies. really. not too sweet. amazingly packaged. super rich brownies. yum. i really want to try their marshmallows .

and um gorgeous website and photos? yes. indeed.

and a great sushi/sukiyaki dinner at my parents. 




it's hard to imagine now [it's raining and really cold as i type this] - but last week we actually had our indian summer. shorter than usual, but lovely. and the little and i caught up with skylite snowballs 

 

i'd been stalking them all summer. trying to find them. not. hoping they'd be out during the day when i could take the little [lots of evening appearances. doesn't work when she's in bed by 7pm]

they make their own syrups.

the little wanted grape. she insisted i have lemon. but if you get a classic you can have 2 flavors so i also sampled watermelon lime.





and adorable truck. of course. i mean i know there is a food cart craze and all, but really when someone does it right - it should be acknowledged.




yum.

i have plans. and things and news of all kinds to share.... i just don't feel like i can yet. these chickens are not quite ready to hatch. in the meantime i'll return to my stack of grading.
