Packages

Friday, Apr. 16, 2004 - 9:26 a.m.

The package I've been noodling around with for Dave Marron is finally done. I'll mail it tomorrow.

And on Monday, I'll be overnighting some macadamia nut white-chocolate chip cookies to Somebody Somewhere.

It's a surprise, so no names. :-D

Obviously it's somebody who isn't a low-carber, so if you're on that list, then sorry, it's not you.

This will be a challenge for me, though, because when I cook, I taste. This will be the first thing I will be making that I won't be able to taste AT ALL. I'm sure John will be up to the duty of taste tester, though. Wish me luck!

My jeans have turned into clown pants. My bra fits into the FIRST set of hooks instead of the LAST set.

I don't mind this a bit. :)

However -- I'll be really glad when my brother sends me a rent check for April, though -- I need some clothes. My underwear is barely staying up, and if I have to wear suspenders with these things, I'll look and feel like a doof.

I don't blame him if he avoided the post office yesterday, but Jon, if you're reading this, have some pity on me and please send it pretty soon, okay? Thanks, Twinkie King.

There's a small but persistent threat of rain today.

I asked John to wear his jacket, and when he said "I *hate* having to carry this thing if I don't need it,"

I responded with "You're going to walk past dozens of homeless people today who wish they had your jacket."

And so he seemed to have a change of heart.

No Friday Five yet as far as I know. I'll add it when it shows up.

Here's a picture I took out my window just moments ago. Looks like rain!...

Did you know that if you add a slice of plain white bread to a cookie jar (or, in this case... package), the cookies will absord the moisture from the bread; therefore staying moist and delicious? Of course -- then you have a stale piece of bread there and people are thinking, "WTF is this???" Oh well. Sounds like someone is gonna get some yummy cookies!
I love you Brin!!! You complete me!!! xoxox JamiePoo
