I started a project at the end of the day after accomplishing almost nothing for the rest of the day. Wooh? Hopefully I haven't bitten off more than I can chew :p I just want to get some things put away :p

Then I came home, took the dogs out, and went running errands, including a 'grabbing dinner' errand. My eldest nephew had dental surgery today (they couldn't get him numbed with a local anesthetic, so they had to use a general), and since his parents were dealing with that today, dinner didn't get made. So I went out and got a rotisserie chicken when picking up stuff to make cupcakes for Longpig's birthday tomorrow.

So I made cupcakes, which turned out *really* well - dark chocolate filled with cherry pie filling, and 'iced' with stabilized whipped cream.

I also called my dad for his birthday, which was today.

(for everyone playing along at home, everyone in my immediate family has/had their birthdays all in a row in August. Mom = 29, dad = 30, sister = 31. I'm off on my own in October :p)

I also finished The Stone Sky! Which I enjoyed. I wasn't sure what the resolution would be but I did figure out why the narration was set up as it was before it was *too* heavily telegraphed. I really enjoyed the whole series, but it is late and I should shower and go to bed, not try to write out my spoliery meta thoughts. And this is why you never get any real content ;p
