Who knew staying home for a month could cause so much business??  Yowsas!  We’ve had guests for a month straight and I’ve had all sorts of other random stuff to keep me running around like crazy.  Also, Matt has been great at not doing dishes and claims he does it out of love to give me something to do…so… there’s also been a whole lot of that.

So, there’s news.   The unemployment didn’t last long.  I’m back to work on Monday but this time with a new, fun twist!  I’m CONSULTING!  This is great for a lot of reasons but making my own schedule and working from home a lot of the time are the two glaring bonuses to this arrangement.  Another plus is that if it doesn’t work out it’s a much easier break.  On top of all that, it’s a cool company with cool technology and cool people.  So that’s that.  We’ll see how it goes!

In other news I taught myself how to make puff pastry today.  This is good and bad.  Good because YUM and I’m wrapping it around Brie so double yum.  This is bad because I now know what is IN puff pastry and it’s name is lotsofbutter.  I got fatter just unwrapping the stuff.  Also bad is the labor intensive nature of folding said butter into the pastry dough then letting it sit for 30 minutes in the fridge, repeated five times.  Needless to say that I went nowhere this morning while I was doing all that folding and waiting.  But I feel very accomplished and domestic.

I wish I had more time but I’m off.  I have a dinner party tonight and I’m still in my workout clothes.  The ones that I put on at 7:30 this morning with every intention to exercise until I got distracted by all the butter.  And all the Mad Men on Netflix.  Oops.
