a big ol bowl of snow ice cream I forgot to take a picture of before I ate!!

P.S. Batch 2 tomorrow in the other bowl. Different recipe. I’ll do my best not to get so excited to eat it before I take pics of the completed project.

AND, for the record, I actually ate the snow ice cream at midnight, but I’m back up at 3:53am typing this because THE LEAF BLOWER DUDE IS ON THE SECOND FLOOR, OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM WINDOW…..WHERE THERE IS NO SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will soon post photos of Apartment 8′s outdoor setup to show my dear readers what I’m talking about. There is a ROOF over the second floor. Not to mention there was gallons of rock salt poured onto the sidewalks before it snowed, so the walkways are already clear.

It’s FOUR A-M!!!

This guy has gone and lost his freakin mind!

Cookies and Caffeine

I knew there was a reason I wanted to go to Boston!

Fancypants is there!!

Not only do I love Love LOVE the name of this bakery, I absolutely adore the beauty of their cookies! I could only DrEaM of making cookies look this good…and from what I gather, they taste as great as they look! YUM!

While I was window shopping through cyber-land, I also found these travel mugs that almost perfectly describe a cozy, peaceful evening  indulging in quality alone-time with a good book, good music, lots of cookies, and very chocolatey cocoa (followed by a big box of Cheez-its):

* * Note to Therapist:

That “weekend getaway” that I speak of? Well, of course my old ratty hand-made quilt is full of warmth and comfort! And Cheez-its ARE a delicious food! The fun and romance and being treated like a princess by the most gorgeous man…oh, come on, you know that stuff can only be written (it was one of Nora Roberts’ finest. She says it well, no?) And if the piano man from Augustana can take me to Boston through song, then he’s pretty damn good, too!

So, no. I do not lie in our sessions.
