And you thought your life was exciting . . .

Goose and I are doing in-depth research for the book we're writing on discount store restrooms. That's why whenever we go to Target or WalMart or Costco, bingo, she says she has to go potty and we head off to the WC. Sometimes she produces and sometimes she just sits there, and sits there, and sits there . . . . I've never been in so many store restrooms in my life.

Oh, yesterday I tried a new recipe:http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/White-Chocolate-Chocolate-Cookies/Detail.aspx?prop31=1
I think that only someone who really likes dark chocolate would appreciate them because they are so packed with cocoa (more than twice that which is in my regular brownie recipe) that they aren't very sweet, but I loved them precisely because they did satisfy my chocolate craving. I even passed up a chance to nibble on Beulah's Toblerone bar because I had had a couple of cookies an hour or two before she offered and I just didn't need any more chocolate.

Speaking of Beulah, we finished up her mop cap (or was it a muffin hat?) for her English class. We had to dig out my sewing maching and it was after an hour of whining and screaming (all mine, btw) that Beulah delicately showed me that I had threaded the maching the wrong way. Duh, duh, duh. But the hat turned out fun. We sacrficed an old piece of black velour which had been Beulah's Hermione cape from Halloween six years ago.
