I sent a letter out today. It felt good to communicate with someone in non-internet form
It’s sure a lot slower, but I tend to read more of the letter than when I get an email. Don’t get me wrong, I read my emails, but I READ my letters. If you want to experience letter writing but don’t necessarily want to get a new penpal, try writing to a relative - my grandparents always seem to like to get letters from their grandchildren.
What makes a tired, shaky, sore, slightly fuzzy brained Bonnie? The residue of a three day old workout combined with taxes, resulting in forgetting to eat. My muscles are still sore from Tuesday (incredibly so!) and the taxes are thankfully almost done. When I started I pulled out my bank book and I was pleasantly surprised to see the balance was more than I thought. Then I finished my taxes and totaled the amount I owe the government and then I realized that I am not going to end up with so much in my bank account as I thought. Without getting into specifics, let me just say that doing taxes doesn’t do much to boost my morale :p
I sent this recipe to a friend today. It’s a massive batch of brownies that is super rich and VERY yummy. Leigh Lambert published the recipe in an article in the Washington Post. While looking for pictures of these delicious brownies I came across this cooking blog, and here is the author’s post about her batch of Man-Catcher Brownies. Check out her list of favorite blogs! Lovely names like The Italian Dish.

I came across your blog on Technorati. Nice site layout. I will stop by and read more soon.

I know what you mean! I sent mine in last Thursday…and I still haven’t gotten my moral up.
Larry Burkett did the math and came up with the reason we all feel that the taxes are overwhelming. He found that we work 9 months out of the year for the government.
On a brighter note, you don’t have to look forward to them until next year. Unless you do estimateds.
Thanks for the wonderful recipe. Is this recipe the one for the picture in your photo post?

Thanks Mr. Harmon.
Dianna, thanks for the empathy
I will have to deal with them later actually because I need corrected information sent from my employer and I won’t get it in time!
No, the picture of the chocolate in my picture post is just melted chocolate with coffee beans spread on waxed paper. If you’re a coffee fan that is a great way to get a quick, super crunchy caffiene boost
You’re sure welcome for the recipe! It’s a good ‘un but so rich, and at the moment I don’t know if I have all the ingredients around, lol.

You are not kidding! It did look pretty rich!
