One of the funniest quips from Sedaris was noting a movie listing:

There Will Be Blood

Period drama.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Saturday afternoon greetings!  Michigan gave away the Paul Bunyan trophy to Michigan State today.  Or more accurately, they let them keep it for ANOTHER year  :P

Since the end of the game, I've been doing AAUW communications work at my computer.

Waiting at the end of the line to get two books autographed. The line isn’t moving.

I have finally gotten to the doorway of the room he’s in. Maybe another 30 minutes or so.

Reminds me of the time I took my daughter to see Grumpy Cat.

I think the cases of covid here are still uncomfortably high. So I'm glad to wear a mask and see that the stores I go into require them.

Tomorrow we are having a coffee hour at church. I had a lot of leftover stuff from the club meeting we had Thursday, so I'll have sugar cookies, candy corn bark, cinnamon bread, and brownie bites for the regular people. I'll have vegan snowballs and cream cheese mints for the allergic people.

I kept the powdered sugar in its container this time, away from the flour.

I was going to make meringues, but I realized that the mints are gluten-free.

Been puttering around the apartment today - planned all 3 masses this weekend, did 3 loads of laundry, veg'ged in front of the TV with DD Leo, took a shower and now I'm off to Saturday evening mass and then to Great America for Haunt. I'm not really a fan, but the ex and I bought season passes for Great America and I might as well use it so I'm meeting some friends.  I'll be wearing a necklace which tells cast members that I don't wish to be spooked or scared while walking around the park, and I do NOT do the mazes, so it will be a fun night of people watching, theme park food, hanging with friends and maybe a few rides.

I am glad people are wearing masks in the stores you shop at.  For us, living in a state that requires masks inside of all stores is doubly appreciated after being in Wisconsin.  Even though Illinois requires masks the hotels, gyms, and restaurants near the airport were very lax.

Aren't meringues gluten-free?

Yes, but I had a special request for the mints, so I don't think I need two gluten-free things.

A divorced mother with a teenage daughter found our church during the pandemic and joined us for our zoom services. We didn't meet them in person for several weeks.

So when I found out the daughter was vegan, I have made sure to accommodate her needs. I want them to feel wanted.

And the mother is gluten-free, as well as a grandson of one of our members (Said grandson doesn't attend very often, but when he did when we had a coffee hour, he was surprised to see I had planned to accommodate him.)
