In other news, I have started a list of 100 Things I Want to Cook Before I Die. Not DO before I die; that's an entirely different list altogether. But just cook. Preferably with many people I love very close in the vicinity.
Also, I just got a box filled with the most delicious letter, and book, and map of the brachial plexus--and the most scandalous ruffled item of clothing that I will ever wear in public--all gifts that made my day/week/life. All from my sister-that-is-not-a-sister-who-might-as-well-be. Because she's just that cool. And I could tell you more about it but I'm just that selfish--it's mine. :-D
