Surprise Bread
Two posts in one day. This one is time sensitive, since I am going to try again today when my groceries arrive. A few days ago, Gordon turned to me and said, “I bought a bread machine.” This is strange for many reasons, primarily because I’m the only one who makes bread and I didn’t

Hagy Bird
I had an interesting birthday. Hilariously, the set of candles that was supposed to spell happy birthday instead spelled out that which you see above, and that is an excellent metaphor for how it went. Gordon bought me yarn.
