Yesssssssssssss... 400+ more words last nite. I'm really thrilled that the ol' creative juices are flowing again! Hopefully, I'll write even more tonite. PLUS tomorrow is my double shift day so I'm going to bring the NEO to work with me.

Speaking of work, OMG-- the A/C went out in part of the building today -- the side *I* work on of course. Stupid Murphy's Law. The temp OUTSIDE was a nice, brisk 102 degrees in the shade today and inside, the thermostat read a chilly 84. Oh.. My... GAWD! I nearly came unglued. I was SOOOO miserable. Luckily, we have a couple of fans in the back that they let us bring to the desk. That was the only saving grace.

Hmmm... I invented this really quick Chicken 'n Dumplin's meal that Bran seems to have fallen in love with, so we had that tonite. It was pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Now, onto the Italian Ices! Yummmmmmmmmmm.....!
