is it really only tuesday? how is that possible? but for a while this afternoon i thought i was monday.<\/p>\n
so i\u2019m baking bread right now. at the moment, two loaves of french bread, one with green olives and blue cheese, the other with just blue cheese. they look perfect, and that is because they rose for a very very long time today. this is because i was buying swim suits.<\/p>\n
i was at work and told sandy that i have to buy a swim suit and she said i\u2019d better buy one pretty quick because they\u2019re liable to be ALL GONE, and the ones that come out in winter for people who cruise won\u2019t be out for months. so i panicked and went to the mall after working and tried on about 15 of them. <\/p>\n
it was about as horrible as the process usually is, except then there were about 5 that didn\u2019t look so bad and i didn\u2019t know what to do and i thought maybe i\u2019d put them all on hold and make kevin go back with me tomorrow and tell me which one he liked best, but i didn\u2019t want to wait, and then i was going to ask the saleswomen what they thought but decided it would be too humiliating to parade out of the dressing room in a swimming suit.<\/p>\n
so i kept trying them on over and over again and finally bought three. they weren\u2019t cheap, but they actually were a steal because originally they were about a hundred bucks APIECE.<\/p>\n
i don\u2019t know exactly why i bought three of them, i guess becuase i couldn\u2019t really decide.<\/p>\n
so i\u2019d mixed up some french bread at about noon today and was going to go home and punch it down and then bake it but i didn\u2019t get home till almost eight and one of the bowls of dough had oozed up and over the top and was spreading out over the counter, like the pudding that woody allen makes in “sleeper.”<\/p>\n
i\u2019m making four loaves tonight so i guess i won\u2019t be going to bed till after midnight.<\/p>\n
i just took two of the loaves out of the oven and one of them, the one with blue cheese and green olives, has an oozing fissure down the middle of it from where i folded it over after putting in the blue cheese. and it looks perfect but i\u2019m also afraid that maybe it will split open so i tried to wedge it against the blender so it won\u2019t leak out.<\/p>\n
also, i just want to eat both loaves of bread. these are supposed to be cooled and wrapped and frozen and then re-heated for the wedding rehearsal dinner, but what if i just eat them, instead? when MFH gets home from work, he will definitely want to eat them.<\/p>\n
nobody would ever know if i just bought some bread at the store and served that, instead. except christine will read this and she\u2019ll say I DESERVE SOME FRENCH BREAD, DAMMIT! YOU CAN EAT IT ANY OLD TIME BUT I HAVE NO FRENCH BREAK-MAKING ABILITIES HERE IN DENVER!<\/p>\n
she\u2019s right. i won\u2019t eat it.<\/p>\n
she hasn\u2019t bought a dress yet. this does not worry me. <\/p>\n
i\u2019m not really worried about much, wedding-wise, as a matter of fact. things seem kind of ok, like it\u2019s all going to be fine.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m looking forward to saying to thad on my wedding day, SEE? I\u2019M NOT ALL FREAKED OUT. because he insisted that i\u2019m going to be a BIG BASKET CASE and it will ALL JUST BE A BLUR.<\/p>\n
wrong wrong wrong.<\/p>\n
i just set off the smoke detector because some cheese dripped on the bottom of the oven. i\u2019m slightly accident-prone today. i spilled approximately a cup of flour earlier, and just about a half hour ago i dumped a great deal of corn meal on the floor. mollie didn\u2019t care to lick it up.<\/p>\n
hopefully that\u2019s all the mayhem for one day. TUESday. <\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
