No letter, no time…

November 17, 2007

Sorry…I’m up to my arms in dough, and getting ready to tackle buttercream frosting for an apple cake I’m taking to a dinner party tonight. No photos. No wittiness. No patience. Lurve you all, though. Oh, and at the crack o’ dawn tomorrow, an across the country IM chat while baking with foodblog buddies. My [...]

Letters do get answered, and my gratitude runneth over…

November 16, 2007

You have to appreciate those who seem to have a grasp of where they fit into this whole NaBloPoMo thing. Me? I’m just a lemming. And today, I’m a late one. TOTALLY. It’s 11:09 am and I was supposed to be at the grocery store already, and cooking. I’m making tons of stuff this weekend, [...]

Dear Peter Walsh, Organizational Guru…

November 15, 2007

I’m making progress here, although today, if it wasn’t for NaBloPoMo, I’d probably take the blogging day off.

Dear San Diego Union-Tribune:

November 12, 2007

As I drag my unwilling body over the scorching sand of the Sahara that is my carpet, I yet again position myself at my trusty desk and keyboard to put a checkmark in the box that denotes another NaBloPoMo done… November 12, 2007 Dear Whomever Makes the Decision to Fold the San Diego Union-Tribune in [...]

Dear House Fairies…

November 11, 2007

Okay, still going strong with NaBloPoMo. Lovely Sunday morning — coffee, magazines, a tasty hot bowl of steel cut oatmeal with green apples, pecans, brown sugar and cardamom. And the MoH and RT cozied up watching football. *sigh* November 11, 2007 Dear House Fairies, Yanno, I need to swing a deal with you guys. I’m [...]
