crema

Today my boss came in with the cutest little espresso cups -- ok, pretty much all espresso cups are undeniably cute -- but these have HEART-SHAPED saucers. They are darling.

I had to work beginning at 6 am, and i can't remember the last time i was up at 6 am (except maybe still up) so that was a little challenge. Getting up really wasn't that bad, because i woke with a shocked and panicked "am i supposed to be at work already what time is it??" at 5:30 and didn't dare get back in bed. But then, despite the very many coffees i had, i napped all afternoon.

Today is Lori Schmidt's birthday. Happy birthday Lori, wherever you are. And i think it's maybe not Schmidt anymore. (I remember her phone number too haha. I don't even know my Mom's phone number now.)

Hannah's petticoat story has given me a random idea to hold a writing contest, i guess among the l.g.? I haven't really thought out the details yet. I thought the grand prize should be a petticoat in honor of the story from which the idea came but i can't really afford one at the moment, even from In the Starlight. Hmm.
