Someone opened the box of plastic knives upside down. I'm sitting there, wrestling with it, so that I can put it away (since I had to take it out to get the box of spoons out to make my tea) and a co-worker comes in.

She examines the container of cookies on the counter, and asks if I baked them. I told her yes, I did. She replies "Oh good. They had the look of something you baked, which is yummy. You bake really good cookies."

She breaks a cookie in half, and wanders off. I make my tea and go back to my office. She passes by my office after a conversation with someone here, and says to me, "I broke that cookie in half, and now I'm going back for the rest...which I should have just done in the first place."

Yay. People like my cookies.

(These were a chocolate-toffee cookie, usually I do this recipe with raspberry chips, but I couldn't get them last week, so I did toffee instead. Need to experment with lemon cookie recipe soon though.)

If Memory Serves Me Right...

then someone (or someones) on my friends list mentioned having a copy of the Bridal Bargains book that they would be okay passing along.

If it was you who said this, could you let me know, and maybe work with me to figure out a time/place to retrieve it from you?

Thanks!

*sigh*

Last year, (I think it was last year, anyway, things have gone so quickly) rivka and I were talking about a job with the people she works for, doing really cool things.

For various reasons related to funding, that didn't happen.

Today, I spoke to rivka's boss. (I think she's your boss, anyway.) They have funding.

And I have a plan that doesn't include being in Baltimore.

Why now? Why not a year ago, when I was tearing my hair out to get out of here? Why can't I find anything near where I'm going to live, and am I sitting here freaking out about finding work there, and getting near-job offers from Baltimore?

I think I'm going to go be sad now.
