…Anne of Green Gables party. Well, it’s not mine, but I’m invited, and I’m very excited about it. I’ve never seen the movie/read the books, and I feel like I’ve been missing out all these years!

I made cookies last night to take with me to the party. I don’t know what came over me…I got possessed with cookie baking. I made four different batches, and then kept going back and adding more ingredients. I can’t just stop with chocolate chips…I’ve got to add walnuts, and cinnamon, and nutmeg, and white chocolate chips, and molasses. Then I tried to make a raspberry glaze that wasn’t very good. But I put it on half of the cookies anyway because I wanted to see how it looked. I know–crazy! By the end of the evening, I had a huge mess and probably only a handful of cookies that actually taste good. But I arranged them nicely on a platter and I’m still taking them to the party. I’ll warn everyone first, though.

Sigh. Some day I will learn.

I’m also excited because it looks like my new t-shirt design will arrive today. I ordered this one and an “I Hate Spunk”/Tangofetish.com tote bag.

I have little flecks of pink all over my desk. It’s going to be one of those days. Nothing bad, I’m just in deep concentration at work. We’re doing a total web redesign, and it’s exciting but tedious, perfectionist-type work. My bosses are out ALL WEEK, which is GREAT because I will have lots of uninterrupted work time. I don’t mind my bosses, but I do get more done when they aren’t here.

However, a quick nod to this weekend. It was great. We went to a baseball game Friday night, saw some old friends traveling through town on Saturday, and spent Sunday on the couch, eating cinnamon rolls between naps. 

Last night I made chicken parmesean for the first time. It was OK, not the best. Shane liked it more than I did.

And although I got plenty of sleep yesterday and last night, I got back in bed for another half hour this morning and just listened to the rain. It was so soothing!
