It has been a while since my last post and yet I still don't have a normal post to make. In lieu of that have a list of some things that have been happening.
* My birthday was a week ago today! I didn't post then because I was in a frenzy of baking and cookery. I made bread and a fruit tart, both firsts. The Joy of Cooking book is sneaky in that it teaches you how to make a custard without mentioning that it's a custard until the last line. I had finished it by that point and so there was no freaking out. I see what you did there, Joy of Cooking.
* I have been coveting All the Shoes. I want to get these boots but I think they would come up too high on my calf and rub at my knee. I bought a really cute pair of flats at ModCloth, though, and I think I'm going to DSW tomorrow to see what they have in the way of awesome pumps.
* A coyote ran in front of my car on the way home from work the other night. At least, I'm pretty sure it was a coyote--I'm going by the tail and general color because up until the tail I thought it was a deer. It was in a rural-edging-on-suburban area, but the dogs around there are really well trained and stay in their yards. (I wrote the next part of this and then realized I never actually said I didn't hit the coyote. Let the record state that I definitely did not.)
* I'm going to start doing support over the phone next week, and I get to record our "press 1 for yadayada, press 2 for &c" message. My awesome boss has suggested that we record the message in Klingon and Elvish, too. As none of us speak Klingon or Elvish we're probably going to advertise at Dragon*Con.
