I.O.U.

Oh, yes, it's one of THOSE posts again.

Wherein I tell you "I'm so busy" and "work is crazy right now" and "here are all the things I'm GOING to write about when things slow down."

(You're probably reading that in a sarcastic, whiny tone. But I prefer the quiet, sincere, regretful, staring-at-my-shoes tone I'm adopting in my head. Your choice.)

So, yes. I'm so busy, and work is crazy right now, so here are all the things I'm GOING to write about when things slow down. Don't give up on me, 'kay?

1. Music challenge update! Yes, it's true: I asked and you delivered. AND HOW. So far, including the 10 bands I put out there for feedback in my original post, I have 65 recommendations to spin through. SIXTY-FIVE. Y'all are committed to your music, and I love that. I've been taking my assignment seriously and have spent time with 10 of those 65 so far. My (honest) opinions will be forthcoming.
2. Crafty fun times! I made a few things for Christmas gifts and am working on a few more. And you get to SEE THEM! Yippee!
3. Poo: A conundrum! It's a problem, people. I know some of you feel my pain. (And before you get really skeered, this is a doggie post, so you aren't going to be getting all up and personal with me. I would never do that to you. Probably.)
4. The garlic story! Finally! It's a classic.
5. My most treasured possessions! It's like a tour of why I am a sentimental weirdo. I have a lot of treasured possessions. In fact, maybe I need to make this a series... (And if you're worried I might be opening myself to thievery by sharing my most treasured items on the Internet, never fear -- they're all worth less than $5.)

See? How can you abandon me when all that amazing stuff is just RIGHT around the corner?

(Please don't leave me.)

Hugs.

While we're waiting...

I'm having some trouble getting the video/photos of my weekend -- which was awesome -- and the hair -- which was...hair-like -- off my phone. The issues will be resolved, for better or for worse, tomorrow, and I'll deliver the goods.

In the meantime, I thought I'd show you this:


No, it isn't poo in a bowl with a raspberry garnish. (Ew.)

It's dark chocolate sorbet that I made with my ice cream maker!! With a raspberry garnish!

My best friend B and I rocked this out on Friday night, and let me tell you friends: If tastebuds have their own heaven, it could easily be within this bowl.

It's essentially just frozen sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder and water, but somehow it came out...creamy. And smooth. And dark chocolatey. And absolutely, ridiculously delicious. Like angels dancing. In my mouth.

After taking the first bite, I'm fairly certain I sang an aria.

See you tomorrow!
