(no subject)

Yesterday was quite social.

I went to Stoneface Dolly's for breakfast (buckets o' fruit) with the slasher girls (yay for things being walking-distance from my house!) then wandered back to my place, washed up (most of) the dishes, and had Ami_B + a mostly sleepy Miz Rose over for cake (made the cake - chocolate chocolate-chip with a hint of coffee - while they were here) and talked about gardening and dreams and all sorts of stuff.

And, roughly an hour later, had a spontaneous visit from CSI_Tokyo.

So I find myself now, at 9am Sunday morning, feeling kind of at loose ends. I know I'll be calling Fritzkat and McWetboy this afternoon, but until then. What do I do with myself?

Part of me wants to go back to bed.

Part of me wants to do tarot readings for myself (I've been doing them for Sara -- and, according to the wisdom of bits of cardboard, things are going to be tricky for her, with a LOT of Deal With Her Issues, but they will definitely work out very well in the end. So nothing we didn't already know there).

Part of me wants to call Sara but, well, it's not even 8am in Texas, so that would be a BAD idea. Besides. She's got one of the weddings today.
I figure I'll save that call for tomorrow and see how it went. :-)


Part of me wants to go and pick up sour cream and dried mango and some other stuff and have, like nachoes and salsa to munch on today plus make some of the following recipes:

*~*~*~*~*

“Thai” Chocolate Chip Cookies

½ C chocolate chips
¼ C each: dried mango (snipped into bits) and large coconut flakes
2 C uncooked rolled oats OR 2C mixed rolled kamut & rolled spelt
2 C all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 C soft butter OR ½ C each: soft margarine and coconut oil
1 C granulated sugar OR ½ C each: brown and granulated sugars
¼ C crunchy peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla OR 2 tsp coconut rum

(I’m a tad worried that the peanut butter will over-power everything else. BUT I think it might be a good experiment anyway. :-)



Cherry-Chocolate-Almond cookies

½ C chocolate chips
½ C dried cherries (or dried cherry-flavoured cranberries)
2 C uncooked rolled grain-of-some-kind
1½ C all purpose flour
½ C cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 C soft butter/margarine
1 C granulated sugar
¼ C almond butter (or similar)
2 tsp almond extract OR cherry liqueur OR grenadine-like-substance


*~*~*~*~*


Part of me kind of wants to make bread. :-) Mmm... Bread... :-D


Anyway. I'll figure it out. :-)

What Piercing Are You?

You Are a Nose Piercing

You are stylish and you have an eye for what looks good. You are up on trends but not trendy. You have your own sense of style. Overall, you are a very visual person. You appreciate beauty of all kinds. You are always decorating or designing. You need your surroundings to look good. Even though you make sure to present yourself well, you are mostly an observer in social situations. You watch people carefully and get to know them well. And you tend to keep your observations to yourself!

What Piercing Are You?

Are You "Truth" or "Dare"

You Are Truth

You are communicative, talkative, and honest to a fault. You love telling others about yourself, but not as much as you like hearing about them. You connect easily with strangers. You're very open, and you can find common ground with people. You love to gossip and tell secrets. Telling all is how you get close to people.

Are You Truth or Dare?

What Flavor Cupcake Are You?

You Are a Chocolate Cupcake

You are deep, richly interesting, and at times overpowering. You have a strong personality. You are drawn to people who adore you. You love it when your specialness is recognized. You are like a cupcake because it's hard for people to get enough of you. You have a mysterious charm that makes you incredibly addicting. People are drawn to your drama.

And, apparently:

Your Vampire Name Is: Queen of the Underworld

I never knew what life was until it ran out in a red gush over my lips, my hands!

What's Your Vampire Name?

Relationships as Amusement Park Rides OR "At Least This One Isn't Bumper Cars"

So I spent the afternoon and evening with Arndis and Tchang (and wyrdwolf, who was off doing anthropology homework in the other room, but still).

Something Arndis said (of me and my sweetheart): It would be really nice if one or the other of you could find the stop button for the rollercoaster.

Towhich I replied: It's not that I want to *stop* -- because that implies that one or the other of us is getting off the ride. But it would be awfully nice if one of us could find the *on* button for the merry-go-round. That'd be really, really good. :-)

With any luck, after Friday night's conversation, we're one (small but significant) step closer to finding that merry-go-round button. <*sigh*> Thank freaking goodness. :-)


She was at a wedding today (which, for all I know, is still going strong). I'll give her a call tomorrow and see how it went. :-)


Right now? Right now, I sleep. :-)
