At 11:36 AM, I turn 36 years old. I’m looking forward to 36—there’s no way it can be as craptastic as 35. I used to have a thing for odd numbers, well, 35 has cured me of that bias. Bring on the good stuff, even-numbered age.
Toby took the day off. And naturally, it’s like the coldest day of the year so far so I imagine we won’t be doing much of anything. Plans include: going to the gym together, because that’s what old people do. Getting some cupcakes and hopefully I’ll get to eat sushi. I love sushi. Although, eating sushi on the coldest day of the year seems rather stupid. So maybe I’ll opt for some good ol’ comfort food instead.
Anyway, thanks everyone who reached out to me after I wrote the dismal, previous post. I had had a day. But things aren’t all that bad and I’m feeling better. And I do thank you for your comments and emails. It means a great deal to me. And I will write each and every one of you. I promise.

As I was sitting around last night craving comfort food and feeling a little sorry for myself, two words suddenly came to mind: I’m lonely. And then saying them out loud later to my husband gave me a bit of relief.

We bought a bunch of probiotics and vitamins for our eldest cat, Pookum. She’s having some health issues and they’re making her do weird things. We’re not really sure what’s going on, but in the meantime, we’re trying to help her by giving her probiotics and vitamins, as well as some ear ointment. It’s a long story.

Toby was vegan for a long, long time. And I love to bake. So, after we started dating, I learned how to make a few vegan treats. That’s how I discovered this recipe. And boy does it ever bring back fond memories.

Back in July of 2009 I wrote a post about my shins and the itchy bumps. I wrote about how I’ve spoken with many doctors over the years. I’ve asked them what it might be and no one has been able to help me. Two of them were even dermatologists. Yeah. It sucks. And to be completely honest, I have lived this way (which is to say miserably) for far too long. Anyway, yesterday I finally met with another dermatologist because the rash and itch was spreading to my thighs and upper arms. I’m a hot mess—a modern leper. Sexy.

I’ve been Debbie Downer lately and overall things are going really well. Anyway, I wanted to lighten things up a bit and post a picture of a license plate I saw while waiting at a red light the other day. Crazy, eh?

You’ll have to forgive me for not having much to say right now. It’s been a rough week. And other than baking some more chocolate chip cookies for a friend, I haven’t baked anything new this week.

I think I have finally figured out why Murray is doing what he does. He’s trying to run the grown human man out of my life forever. This face? This face is not to be trusted, ladies. It’s the face of a cat on a mission.

These chocolate chip cookies are the antithesis of a chocolate chip cookie. I know. That probably doesn’t make much sense. But let me explain. You know how, generally speaking, chocolate chip cookies are usually really truly awesome and full of flavor when they are right out of the oven? Well, these? These are the opposite of that. That’s not to say they aren’t great out of the oven; what chocolate chip cookie isn’t great straight out of the oven? But these? These are magic! They actually get better as they cool. I’m not even kidding. They’re full of flavor days after they leave the oven. I have no idea why. It’s not like they’re all that different from the rest. But for some reason these are fantastic. I will never make another chocolate chip recipe ever again. Maybe.
