A close look at Wicked Twisted Road
Okay, see you back here on Monday.
PSYCH!
Yes, verily, I sucketh. My explication is not quite done. Not because I'm a slacker (although I am) -- no, actually a lot of it is written. But, I'm a notoriously aggressive editor, and I wasn't going to slap through the finishing and then upload it with a lick and a promise.
And the reason I didn't have time to do my notorious editing is that I promised the world's most adorable 8-year-old that I would bake cookies for her class Valentine's Day party. Which is, yep, you guessed it, tomorrow.
Said 8-year-old was supposed to be my sous-chef and expedite the process by "helping," but she had some Very Important Things to take care of (i.e. clean her room before there was grounding and mayhem). So, I went it alone, and it took longer than I thought. I tried to write while the cookies were baking then cooling, but it didn't work for me; I write best in "the zone," when I sit in one place for three or four hours at a time with no interruptions, and then I stand up at the end with a perfectly polished piece. Then I was going to write it after, but here it is 1:00 am already and I only just tidied the kitchen.
Since I do have to work in the morning, I had to choose between cookies and the review -- and as much I like all you people, the 8-year-old is going to win every time.
So, I'll finish this weekend and then it will be a DA Valentine to you on Monday. And in the meantime, you can close this window and go back and check out the ass-kicking digital collateral that you can download courtesy of Sugar Hill and RK...
...and admire my tasty-looking cookies. They are butter cookies iced with a royal glaze and then topped with more icing and various candy and sugar sprinkles (see, I figure that the third grade teacher won't mind that I will be further jacking up a classroom full of already-sugar-addled children. Plus, these look like Valentine's Day cookies, don't you think? Shortbreads or plain ol' chocolate chip or whatever would have been Dullsville.)
