Num

We made food for a photo shoot at work, and these are my tiny lemon muffins. They are VERY NUM. The glaze is made using both lemon zest, lemon juice, and for work, I added a drop of super concentrated lemon essential oil, so it turns out just the right combination of crusty, sweet, tangy and lemony. I eat about 4 of these at a time. But I want to eat more.

Another Fashion Question

Which side of the family does this kind of fashion sense come from? Dylan has some kind of innate talent for spontaneous fashion that DEFINITELY does not come from ME.

He even dressed "THE KARL" bobblehead doll.

Open 24 Hours

Have I mentioned how much I really love my laundry room? When we came back from Moscow we totally rearranged it. It took me awhile to find the right art work for the wall:

And Mike built these lovely racks so I can AIR DRY anything and everything I want!! And I have 15 feet of counter that, when not cluttered with bulk-sized TIDE, DOWNY, and other cleaning products, I can use to lay out sweaters for drying. Lucky I like it in there, since I spend LOTS of time in my little laundry. Notice the window is dark: that's because its 2am, and i'm just finishing my last load of the day.

LAUNDRY LAUNDRY I LOVE YOU WHEN YOU ARE PILES OF CLEAN, DRY CLOTHES. BUT NOT WHEN YOU ARE IN THE SMALL RACK BY THE DRYER BECAUSE THAT MEANS I HAVE TO IRON YOU, DAMMIT.

Feels like home

Okay, so it took me awhile to get settled in... but I finally did get my map up on my office wall. Its much easier to breathe knowing that if I can't see everyone, at least I can see where you all are!
