18. Posted for the 14th straight day in a row.
Just catching up on sleep makes the day worthwhile. Then you did all those other things to boot! Sounds like a nice, relaxing day. Don’t you wish they could all be like that?

Wow, that was a total ‘day on’ instead of a ‘day off’.
Hechame un fon y podemos hablar de tejendo (o palabras de tejer).

I call that productive! Garlic and mushroom pizza sounds tasty. I giggled at your Surreal Life comment. I’ve never seen it but the commercials make me feel the same way. I’ll never get those 60 seconds back

Hooray for extra days off! Your day sounds about as exciting as mine was, but with more pizza. Mmmm…garlic and mushroom…

Mmmm, sounds like a really, really nice day! Except for the unheated apartment part, yick! I tried the chantico this past weekend too, it was really yummy smooth and thick and rich! How do you pronounce it? Our baristas are nice and unscoffing types…

First of all, I must admit that I am a Barista. I wear my green apron with a smile, and am very sorry that you scoffed at! Chan-tee-co. It is named after the Myan God of Heat and Fire. It is like liquid heaven. Perfect for spoiling ones self. Love you blog!
