Here are some pictures of the goings on lately.
First up is a picture of me with my cousin's girlfriend, Gus.  We were at my other cousin's wedding, which was lovely.   The picture was snapped in the 5 minutes when it wasn't raining.

I made cake pops for a co-workers baby shower.  I intended to do some additional fun things to them to add a special touch.  Alas, time escaped me & I was unable to do anything beyond the pops themselves.

 Next, my roommate got a new car!  I know some people who will appreciate pictures, so here they are.  Not sure if a name has been decided.  I suggested Paco.

Here's one of the pictures that my roommate took when I was trying to find something for a Christmas card.

 We've been enjoying spectacular weather here - high of 80 degrees today.  I'm soaking up every last ounce of it!  I've been running a lot lately, but yesterday took the cake.  I had been cooking all afternoon in preparation for a friend's birthday.  I was chopping, mincing & igniting brandy over chicken for a good long time without a single kitchen catastrophe!  However, within 100 feet of starting running, I tripped & skinned my left ankle, knee & hand.  It didn't keep me from running or enjoying my friend's birthday dinner with chocolate martinis to follow!
