an old friend brought her 16 month old baby to my house for a visit this evening... between dinner and bedtime (so it was a short visit)... but we had some tea (in my hand-made mugs) and I baked some delicious brownies (fudge-like w/ extra chocolate) served w/ coffee ice cream.... what a treat!
...in college I received three (3!) marriage proposals when I made a butterscotch cake for a friend's birthday party... perhaps I should volunteer to bake for a similar occasion in the future :)
Work is relatively stressful at the moment... I feel like the further I go, the behind-er I get. There's so much to do for my students ... and with my current caseload demands, it's very difficult to address every need on a weekly basis, let alone tackle the bigger projects. I need to make a master list - yes! that's it... I'll make a master list of what I want to address with specific students, and take it from there. I'll try to remember that tomorrow - sometimes my moments of clarity get clouded in all of the mind juggling currently going on...
Oh, this is funny - there's a guy I've been communicating with... not many sparks (but he was a bit cuter the 2nd time we met)... we had a private joke about me being a princess... started with the 4-post bed I put together (long, complicated story for another day)... 'cause, you know, princesses sleep in high 4-post beds with a canopy.... anyway, this is how I responded to him... he hasn't written back yet - Can't decide if he:
A) thinks I'm incredibly charming and is taking time to write a creative email response... OR
B) I've totally weireded him out and he has removed me from his 'friends' list

HE SAYS: hopefully you sell [your condo] soon and can buy a canopy...
SHE RESPONDS: you know, I've been thinking...about what to do once I get my canopy... shall I kiss a frog? Perhaps fall into a deep sleep... or maybe I'll go live with seven short men who work in mines... Putting a pea underneath the mattress isn't necessary (it's already well known that I bruise easily)... and, anyway, vegetables belong on a plate, not in bed. ...Perhaps I'll ask a pumpkin to take me to a grand party (wearing two glass slippers - me, not the pumpkin). Actually... I think I'll wait and kiss Prince Charming. That's what the storybooks usually say...happy ending and all.

I could have responded in a very nice, normal way... but I decided to respond in a Rainy way... wanted to find out if he can go with the flow... it's very important that a man be able to play with me - verbal banter and intelligent talk are a must... I wonder what will he do...?
...I'd be interested in your comments... How do you think he will respond? :) I'll keep you posted - check the comments section in a few days... unless, of course, it was truly option #B above :) ...which would actually be a blessing - I'd know he isn't able to play. Perhaps he'll surprise me...
Anyway, have a good day tomorrow!! I'm looking forward to some rainy weather :)
