Relaxing
It has been a lovely birthday weekend.
We had a party at work on Friday with pizza… and I brought in a lovely chocolate mousse cake with ganache. It was my first time buying something at The Restaurant School’s pastry shop, but it was amazing. Then my parents took me out to dinner at a nice restaurant and then I met GeeksDoItBetterfor a midnight screening of Serenity!
Saturday, my actual birthday, I worked overtime and ate most of the rest of the cake. The weather has been good to me again. We were supposed to get lots of snow starting at 2pm, but the temperature stayed above freezing even until 10pm, when I was walking home… and then right after I got home, it started sticking
So I have spent all of Sunday in bed! I woke up at noon and 4pm. It’s now almost 8pm, and I am considering having breakfast. Also, I love my neighbor - for he has shoveled the walkway, even my steps and up to my door.

Yay - bread products
In ten minutes there will be freshly baked bread coming out of my oven - and then there will be freshly roasted eggplants and fresh tomatoes going inside.
Yeah, so the bread came in a tube - shuttup.
ETA: MMMMmmmm… tasty sammich all gone.

Bad news: No sooner have a gotten rid of the squirrels than I find I have mice.
Good News: My silly, fluffy thinks-she’s-a-person cat *caught* a mouse. Of all the cats my family has had, she’s the first to ever catch a mouse. I’ve been coddling her all day and calling her a mighty hunter.
Okay, so she didn’t kill it, but she got it worn down and paralysed with fear, so it was easy for me to trap it. YAY!

I have no idea how I am going to pack for a nine day trip in my suitcase - I’ve managed seven days, but that was a bit of a stretch… and I wasn’t seeing anyone I knew.
