comings and goings

The lilac outside our window is blooming, but it can still be a little cool in the morning, which I don't mind.

We drove off into the cool rain to the beautiful wedding of a co-worker, with my friend D (who has recently left my company) in tow.

 We had a nice time. It was joyful and I needed something joyful.

 

 V brought me aquavit from Norway.

   

J leaves me her sage-flavored European Ricolas.
Today is her last day.
I'm so sad it hurts my head.

 

 To help cheer me K made peanut butter chocolate ice cream with Hawaiian salt.

 

 Dinner was pasta with ramps from my boss and kielbasa.

 I am working hard and thinking hard and slogging through.

Detail necessary: what was your wedding garb? Shoes? I bet you looked fabulous.

Your dinner looked fabulous. And I KNOW your husband is fabulous.

Slog not, sunshine. You have SAGE RICOLAS! I'm so Michigan, I had no idea such a wonderous thing even existed!! I've only ever had the shitty normal person Ricolas, for the fab is not strong in me.

i miss yer face.

mwah mwah

Good for you to celebrate the little gifts in life even when the going gets tough... and a beloved coworker leaves.

I'm with the others: Notes on your wedding outfit, please, pretty please.

Hawaiian salt? Was the flavor notable? We had Hawaiian cinnamon during spring break and it had a slightly different taste to it, although I cannot explain how. It just did.
