Fri: A �Bite Size� Three Musketeers� Bar. Starbucks Grande Hot Chocolate.
Sat: A Rice Krispie Square and an Oatmeal/Chocolate Chip cookie (along with a bowl of fruit which, while healthy, still has a lot of sugar).
Sun: Chocolate Mousse from Babette�s Feast.
It is in fact Babette�s Feast which I blame for all of this sugar intake. I blame their Black Forrest Cake.
A few weeks ago, I stopped at the lovely Babette�s Feast on my way to work in order to purchase a Black Forrest Cake in celebration of Bosses Day.
Seriously. Yummy. Shit.
Shit I have been craving ever since. I think the other sweets I have been inhaling were just poor substitutes.
So after eating lunch at Panama Joe�s yesterday, John and I stopped at BF for dessert. He had the Black Forrest Cake and I the Chocolate Mousse. We shared. It was pert near orgasmic.

A funny thing happened recently.
Several weeks ago, I was talking to someone from out of town and explaining to them that it always seems to rain on Halloween. I told him that it didn�t seem to matter if the rest of the month was hot and sunny; clouds would roll in on October 31 and it would inevitably rain. This meant that your Halloween costume would need to be covered with a coat, which was always a bummer when Trick or Treating.
This year? We had record high temperatures throughout October�until Oct. 30 when all of a sudden the temp. dropped dramatically and by Oct. 31, Halloween, it was...yes it was...Raining.
~~~
So apparently John and I are Fuck Buddies. This is the conclusion we reached over the weekend.
It totally makes sense and I don�t know why I didn�t figure it out before.
~~~
And now, for your eavesdropping pleasure, an email. Have a nice day, peeps.

Hey Karen-
Where did you get those little loufa rounds that you gave me for my birthday? I was hoping to get some for Juley.
By the way, I went to Bath & Body on Friday when I had to go to the mall to buy sheets. I can't believe how expensive that stuff is! I'm so glad you guys gave me some stuff for my birthday. I'll probably never buy it for myself! Do you remember that small tube of Shea foot cream that Cathy gave me? It was a small tube now, not very big at all. Anyway, it costs $14.00!!!!!!!! Way too crazy! I like it, too. Arnett says that they really see us ladies coming. I agree but, it is good stuff. I just can't afford it. I've been buying Suave products ya know!
I won't even discuss the price of good sheets.
See ya,
b

Hi there! Sorry it�s taken me a while to get back to you. I�ve been kinda busy.
I have decided that if I can�t raise the rest of the money for the 3 Day Walk, I will work as part of the crew�hopefully. It just depends on if they can still use me without my having been to any Crew Training yet. I sent them an email just now, so hopefully I�ll know before long. That way I�ll still have to work hard and I won�t feel so bad about everyone having donated money on my behalf.
The party Saturday was kind of a bust. They were all nice people (nice house, too, in Chino�except that by the time we left it smelled like Chino*), but it was a tad boring. We did play a fun game that I am planning on teaching everybody at Thanksgiving, so that�s groovy. We left the party at 10:00. I felt bad for Cathy** because she worked hard on her costume. She did win a prize, but it was a DVD of About Schmidt and she doesn�t even own a DVD player.
I have always known you wouldn�t buy products from Bath and Body Works for yourself, which is why I do so for you. :) Don�t feel bad about Cathy�s gift�since you mentioned it first, I�ll tell you � at the time she bought our gifts, they were giving that tube away for free with another purchase. So I assume she bought my gift and gave you the free Shea Foot Cream that came along with it. I haven�t been buying their products as often as I used to (it used to be the only shower gel I would use). John bought me a couple of bottles when we were in there, though. :) It IS good stuff. I love their products.
I got those little loofa rounds, along with the loofa back scrub, at some little shop somewhere in John�s neck of the woods. Sorry. I don�t even have any left (I had purchased three sets to give as gifts, but John ended up opening one of them and I use the other one).
I have fallen in love with a sofa. This furniture store over by me has the cutest stuff and now they have a new sofa that would go perfectly with my chairs! Ergh...
You know how my car has been recalled***? I made an appointment to take it in Saturday morning at 8:00...and remembered that appointment at about 10:00. Doh! I made a new appt. for this weekend, but I am going to have to ask Linda to take me because John is not coming down this weekend. So here�s what I was thinking�if Linda has no plans for Saturday, I am going to ask her to bring her sewing machine over and we can make slip covers for my couch. Well, or I can go over her house while we make them. Either way, the point is I will sit there with her while she does them for me. If I can�t buy a new sofa, I at least want to cover the one I have and add more stuffing to make it a little more comfy.
Talk to ya later!
*They have a lot of cows in Chino. You can smell them. Often.
**Cathy went to the Halloween Party last week as the Bride of Frankenstein. Her costume was killer.
***Add to my litany of car-related complaints the fact that it has now been recalled due to a problem with the pre-catalyst which could make it�oh�catch on fire should I let it run low on oil.

Quote A Day, Sun. November 2, 2003:
In judging our progress as individuals we tend to concentrate on external factors such as one's social position, influence and popularity, wealth and standard of education ... But internal factors may be even more crucial in assessing one's development as a human being: honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, purity, generosity, absence of vanity, readiness to serve your fellow men - qualities within the reach of every soul - are the foundation of one's spiritual life. Never forget that a saint is a sinner that keeps on trying. --Nelson Mandela
