Thursday Things
It’s been hot here. And when I say hot, I mean hot. Eighty-three degrees at 10 a.m. and 95 degrees around noon. And fires all day long. It’s officially spring in Los Angeles.
In related news, either my allergies are in full force (dry heat and smoke filled air can do that), or I’m fighting something off because I’ve felt horrible and been a major snot factory this whole week. Of course, this is a really bad time to feel like crap because I have to bake cookies tonight and make cupcakes and dip pretzels tomorrow. Also, Saturday is the shower (hence the yummies) and I’m driving down to San Diego that afternoon to spend Mother’s Day with my family. Another crazy busy weekend.
Have I mentioned next weekend the only thing on my calendar thus far includes a tennis outing with my Little? I hope to keep it empty like that.

To answer questions in recent comments: Nani, a doorwall is what Detroiters call a sliding glass door. And Benny, I am a writer, and I have written about what I do for a living.

My sister is moving into an apartment across the street and two blocks down. I now have an official guinea pig to taste my recipes.

Yesterday my coworkers and I went to the Coffee Bean down the street from our office. I ordered a light caramel ice blended, no whip. Unfortunately, it also had no caramel. What the hell? I don’t think that Coffee Bean location has ever gotten an order right.

This week’s question: If you were given $100 (don’t ask why, just accept it) how would you spend it?
