    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…

    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. I’m lonely. When it comes to friendship, I tend to put most of my…

    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…

    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. I started making these in 2002, right after Toby Joe and I moved…

    I have a recipe for today and it’s almost ready. I will have it up by this evening. It’s vegan, baby! Vegan! Our nanny didn’t show up today, so I’m scrambling because I have a bunch of work I planned to do today and haven’t been able to get to it. This is my luck,…

    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…

    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? Seriously, what’s the deal with this person? I am hoping it’s for a…

    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 have written three posts since last Wednesday and all of them seem completely inappropriate given the situation.…

    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. One of the gifts I got Toby Joe for christmas…

    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…
