Ravings of a Textual Deviant

Best laid plans, and all that…

Almost immediately after I finished that ill-fated entry, I got word that Doug’s game was cancelled. No problem. Off to the print show–90% of it was over my head, but it was interesting, the library, and the grocery store. Did dishes. Finished portfolio review, although it still needs to be typed up and sent.

Saturday ended up involving too much running around to get everything done, but I got to the Artists’ Studio Tour, the ballet, the cell phone store, and the lab, not necessarily in that order. Also made a batch of saffron scones, the recipe to which I’ll post later.

So. Sunday rolls around, and I still have to do laundry and write a couple of protocols, reviews for Saturday’s events, and make another trip to the store for all the stuff I forgot about. Not bad, except that early that afternoon, Ed asks me if I can have 36 pages of handwritten notes typed up by Thursday morning. Well, the only time I had available before Wednesday night was Sunday, so there went my afternoon and evening.

Six or so hours later, I was done. Ed had gone out to Trader Joe’s and gotten me not one, but two boxes of peanut butter cups–which I maintain are the very best peanut butter cups on the entire planet. Sheer extravagence, I tell you! He also mentioned, in an off-handed way, that he’d left a candy bar in my car for me. When I went out to look (after putting away the laundry), I found a ten-pound Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate bar in the passenger seat of my car. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I have no idea what to do with ten pounds of chocolate. Right now, it’s in the deep freeze in my garage…calling my name.
