The last time I went to IKEA, it was a Saturday, and crowded, but no one seemed cranky about it, so I was having a good time.

Then the group with Nordic Walking Poles came through. It was pretty funny until one of them accidentally smacked me in the back of the ankle with one.

Apple crisp. With apples from Grandma's tree.

I think everyone in my building is a musician, but down the hall there's a cellist who gives lessons and somewhere there's a saxophone player that I hear occasionally. It's lovely to be reminded that I'm surrounded by people creating something.

Solid, dark chocolate rabbit are my favorite. And I love chopped chocolate bars in brownies-- what about a bunny brownie?

I can't show up at work looking like a crazy cat lady covered with fur anymore! I need this vacuum.

Oh, I want both of these so I can pretend I'm a real grown-up!

Steel cut oats-- I make a couple days worth of a mix of oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts, and golden raisins, and put them in a ziplock bag. Then, at work, I put maybe 3/4 cup into my mug, add enough water to cover plus about an inch, and put in the microwave for two minutes. It's still soupy at this point, but I leave it on my desk for a little while, and by the time it's cool enough to eat, the oats have absorbed the rest of the water and it's perfect.

I'm a very good home!

Cocktail party, here I come!

So pretty!
