It was called a pill puncher.

Thanks! This time I'm making a note of it.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!

I hope everyone is doing well! 

Stay-cation is over, and I feel like I need a stay-cation from my stay-cation!

 

At least the spring cleaning is done, and the dinner party was a lot of fun!  I also logged onto my work laptop yesterday evening, because I didn't want to be slammed  by a huge amount of emails when I signed on this morning.  Thank God I did, there were about 450 emails waiting for me.

 

I spent some time sifting through them, deleting what I could, and worked it down to about 90 emails that I need to follow up on.   

My coworker is on vacation this week, so I have to cover for her, so I hope it's a quiet week!

450 emails in one week!!!

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!

I hope everyone is doing well! 

Been a while since I've been here!   Let's get you all a proper update!

Work has been fluctuating between quiet and busy.  I guess that's better than all busy!!!  At least I can catch my breath!

Car was in the shop for a day.  Nothing major, just regular maintenance and time for the inspection to be done.

Took some time to clean out the car, found some junk I was able to get rid of, and found where I had stashed the manual.

Mother's Day and my mom's birthday came, we took her out to Charlie Browns' for lunch.  We did it the week after Mother's Day, as that Sunday was her birthday, so we did both celebrations at the same time.  It was her idea, so we could avoid the crowds out on Mother's Day.

I'm invited to a Memoria Day BBQ on Monday.  I've been asked to make brownies for dessert, so I'm making three kinds, brownies with walnuts, brownies with chocolate chips, and white chocolate brownies.

No, white chocolate brownies are not "Blondies".   A Blondie is a rich, chewy dessert bar that is essentially the non-chocolate counterpart to a traditional brownie. Instead of cocoa or melted chocolate, it gets its signature flavor and light, golden color from butter, vanilla, and a high ratio of brown sugar.

A white chocolate brownie replaces the cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate of a traditional brownie with melted white chocolate.

I'll be doing my baking after visiting my parents for lunch on Sunday, and I'll post pics at one point on Monday, before going to the BBQ.
