I know it’s been weeks.
I’ve been further dealing with the dead mice drama, helping my future father-in-law, and we had a wedding at the beach.
No, not our wedding. A wedding we were in. And it was lovely.
But all this means that I’ve had little time to myself, little time to unwind. And wound up writing isn’t really my thing. I promised to be honest, but that doesn’t mean I have to write in the moment and be angry.
That being said, my gal Tracie shared this just before my fiance and I headed off to vacation. I promised her I’d do one when I got home. Sorry I’m a week late, but here it is, my dear!

Tracie- Thank you for this. For reminding me I still had stories in me to share, that my writing didn’t have to reflect my current turmoil to still be honest. And as always, for so much more.
[...] on my list, but got bogged down by the man(Ole Dirty D, that wily fuck). Then another lovely, Tia, did it and I was like, oh snap, best be hopping on that train before it leaves the station. All [...]
I didn’t know that you did catering in a casino! Look at you being all professional-chefy.
Artichoke dip with fresh bread – yum!
Oatmeal Scotchies!?!? I need more info about this!

Oatmeal Scotchies = Oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips. They are full of the awesome. And now I want some. And I’ll pass along the artichoke dip recipe, it’s something Katie could make
I love you muchly and it feels damn good to be writing again.xoxox
Great combination! I want some too.
Please do pass on that recipe. Katarina isn’t a huge fan of artichokes…but she might be willing to make some dip for me!
