patry shells




brownies



all together now


this picture makes me laugh because i think they look like a little city.

they were for Susan, who i used to work with. she said they were all amazing. repeat customer?
that would be nice.

these cookies generated my first official free lance pay check. most people frame those. i bought shoes.

i quit my job?

yes, i did. i don't know why i asked, i knew the answer.

I'm pretty blissfully unemployed.

there is now substantially less on my plate, but I'm not changing the header cause I'm stubborn.

although I've still got
school
commuting
homework
boyfriend
volunteering
learning Spanish
and sleeping

so I'm not like, bored unemployed. although i do miss work.


the boyfriend comes home for the summer in like, three weeks. can't wait

i bought a really awesome old fashioned picnic basket and shall pack him picnics all summer long. it'll be adorable.

i bought it in a basket store in Chelsea Market. I've been looking for a Wizard of Oz style picnic basket for almost a year. I'm glad it finally occurred to me to look in an effing basket store.

also amusing, i was the only person in the basket store interested in baskets. they sold candy and chocolates and little spoons made of solidified honey for your tea. it was lovely and I'll be going back before Christmas.


aaaand i just took my serve safe liquor certification test. I'm almost sure i passed and will have a new line to add to my resume in about a week.

I'm probably gonna run this town.

just saying.
