It is Gigi&#8217;s Cafe, right around the corner from mi casa. The girls there are awesome, and the food is unbelievable. I&#8217;ll still go to my old haunt when I can, but you know. It&#8217;s just not the same. Sniff. I miss you, Clara and Michael! Crazy Mari, not so much.<\/p>\n<p \/>2) Pam is taking me and Micci out for lunch today to celebrate us being stone-cold superstars. We had three successful rollouts this week. Micci is leaving next week. I&#8217;m going to die.<\/p>\n<p \/>3) I pulled out all my invoices from last year and tried to roughly calculate my taxes. I&#8217;m so screwed again. Ha. I mean, I figured it&#8217;d be bad because my estimated taxes are based on last year&#8217;s income, since I really hadn&#8217;t figured I&#8217;d be here all year. So there&#8217;s that, but also a weird TurboTax assumption that kinda screwed me over and means an extra $3k I should&#8217;ve paid in estimated taxes. Can I even comprehend an April tax payment with five digits? The house is going to sell before then, right?<\/p>\n<p \/>3.1) This may have something to do with clenching my teeth in my sleep last night.<\/p>\n<p \/>4) I made my <i>supermuffins<\/i> yesterday! They were completely awesome, and also completely healthy. I&#8217;m going to continue to engineer the recipe so I don&#8217;t have to use eggs. I swear ever since they started making me sick (in, like, scrambled or otherwise cooked format), I can smell them in things and they freak me out. I&#8217;m not crazy. Really.<\/p>\n<p \/>5) I discovered that I cannot listen to audiobooks while working out. You&#8217;d think it would be the perfect time for it, but I zone out way too much. Total blank-stare time. Just FYI, this is totally different than being in the zone. The zone is all about complete focus, and it&#8217;s one of the best feelings in the world.<\/p>\n<p \/>5.1) The fitness-geek in me just went off on a wild tangent involving the physiology of the zone and the effect of endophins, but I deleted it to spare you. It was fascinating. Trust me.<\/p>\n<p \/>6) <a href='http:\/\/www.chocolatemussolini.com\/cm\/images\/pillow.jpg' target='sexay'>I MADE THIS<\/a>! It&#8217;s faux-suede and I just made up the pattern one day. I&#8217;m proud of myself for getting the gauge exactly right, because it was a perfect fit for the old pillow-forms I have. <a href='mailto:j@plinko.net?subject=knittin foolishness'>Email me<\/a> if you want the pattern; it&#8217;s quick and makes an awesome gift.<\/p>\n<p \/>7) I&#8217;ll close this list with something I found in a txt file on my computer.
