Hi all,
I've been a busy little beaver lately. Once again I have renter trouble - it's like pulling teeth trying to get them to pay their rent. The first ten days of every month is a stress fest, running around calling and trying to squeeze the money out of them. It's bullshit. So I filed eviction papers, once again. It seems like a brother can't get a break these days. I shouldn't complain though; outside of that, life is just Jim Dandy.
My lovely sister headed back to BC yesterday which is a bummer. We had a terrific time while she was here. We saw The Class, a marvelous little French film that I would highly recommend to anyone. Get on it. I've also begun volunteer work for Newborns in Need, a charity dedicated to providing handmade clothing for newborns. The extent of my involvement so far is making cupcakes for an upcoming meeting, but maybe there will be more to do once I infiltrate ingratiate myself into the group. Time for some quick hits!
1) Just a quick note to all of those involved in the Pizza Dough challenge - only four days left to cook and get your photos/write-ups in. I already have an idea of what the ingredient will be for the next challenge...

9) McDonalds is taking on Starbucks in the gourmet coffee war. Upon hearing this, I, of course, went straight to this:
It's hot!
How hot is it?
It's so hot that I poured a cup of McDonalds coffee in my lap just to cool off!
NICE.
