Travelling solo, off my guard, I had to follow this calling from the wild

What?! My brother just called to say that someone mailed him my letter! Someone picked it up off the street. :)

Why do I think that’s so cool?

I must be really lame.

I’m often taking messages at work. Listen, here’s the deal: If you leave a message for anyone, anywhere, at any time, speak slowly, clearly, spell your name and say your phone number twice! It will save people like me a lot of grief.

Okay, now to the point - I’ve noticed that people are very difficult to understand and their names are hard to spell. There aren’t as many Mike Smiths as you might think… And if one calls me, I bet his name is Myke Smithe. After being reminded twice to ask for spelling from callers, I’m finally beginning to remember. I told my boss that I’m not good with the phone.

The last couple of days, I’ve been on again/off again having to hire a car to pick up a visiting lawyer. This has caused me a lot of anxiety. It’s like booking plane tickets… which is one of my jobs. Come to think of it, I’m not very good at a lot of my duties. Man. In fact, I think that my heart stops every time the phone rings. But, of course, only Edward could be sure.

At least I can proofread, organize, and keep the kitchen clean!

Yes, I may mention Edward a lot from now on.

And, my brother has a respectable blog. >> Go to it.

Current Projects

I’m still working on Juliet’s quilt, as well as my mom’s. But, I’ve added a new one. And here’s my fabric selection:

Sacred Selections: Baby J. Austen

Also, if you’re a Starbucks connoisseur, you’ll know all about the Berry Stella. It’s delicious. It’s the best thing to hit Starbucks since Verona. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a heavy tartlet with blueberries and raspeberries. It’s got Omega 3s. I don’t know what they are, but the Stella is a generally healthy alternative to… um, donuts and cheese danishes.

Anyway, it’s not gluten-free. So I’m on a quest to recreate it.

Stella Project: Version 1

My first attempt, while delicious, is too light and sticky. (Oh yeah, and I loathe blueberries, so I used fresh raspberries and frozen blackberries.)

Nevertheless… tasty. Mmm.

Okay, so I’m Monica some more.
