Weekend Catch-up<\/b>
\nI meant to blog this weekend, but my computer was in limbo. Honest! Actually, Denis went and totally cleaned up my hard drive and re-installed everything for me. Of course, this is a rare thing to have to do to a mac, but I had about 4 different installations of different versions of the operating system lurking around my hard drive – now I just have Mac OS X. (Well, and 9.1 for “classic” apps.) So the only time I spent on the computer this weekend was to work on my master’s project. Which I have made huge<\/i> progress on! I’m actually starting to get excited about it again – I was starting to feel like I’d never get it done, but I’ve finally connected all the pieces, and from here on in it’s only a matter of spending every night and weekend coding and documenting between now and the end of fall quarter. :P<\/p>\n
I also did some work on those christening gowns. Yikes! This might take a while. But they’re really cute so far. Maybe when they’re a little more substantial I’ll figure out how to post pictures of them.<\/p>\n
And when I wasn’t busy writing code or working with ivory fabric, I made several dozen chocolate mint cookies. I wanted to make something for the new neighbors, and I’d forgotten how many cookies the recipe made…so I doubled it. When all was said and done, I ended up making 16 dozen cookies. That’s a lot<\/i> of cookies. Especially when only 15 go into the oven at a time, for 12 minutes a tray. Two-and-a-half hours later, with cookies cooling on every flat surface in my kitchen and dining room, I never wanted to see another chocolate mint cookie ever again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
