Today is Wednesday!

I just made brown butter gnocchi with caramelized onions for lunch. Then I put it in a mixing bowl to eat it because I didn't want to have to get up for seconds...

I haven't seen cuddlyevil here for a few days. I have been thinking about her.

My boss wants me to enter into a scholarship contest where I sew stuff and if I win I get scholarship money. I would really like some scholarship money but having people judge my sewing makes me really nervous.

[partiallysunny]

You should enter, Mel!

[dixienormous]

ENTER!

and send me some of that gnocchi!

[margarita]

That gnocchi sounds amazing!

[captainmel]

What if I don't win though?! What if they tell me I suck?!?

I probably will enter...

Everyone is invited to my house for gnocchi!

[partiallysunny]

Is not winning that bad? If that's the worst thing that could happen... Seems like an okay risk to me. I don't think you have a fragile ego.

What if you do win?

[margarita]

I think you should enter, Mel. I've seen a couple of the dresses you have made, and I can assure you, they are not going to tell you that you suck. You are very talented!

Where is cuddlyevil? I hope things are okay.

[motzie]

Mel, enter!

Our bathroom floor is being tiled as we speak. I'm so excited. We won't have to go all the way upstairs to pee anymore.

I have a large cookie waiting for me at my desk. I'm equally excited for it.

I am weirdly competitive.

You all would never hear the end of it if I won. I would feel so proud of myself. Also, I would get $2000

[partiallysunny]

Gloating rights and $2000? Yeah, you're entering.

Fixed that for you.

DL, I messaged her on FB a day or two ago. She's okay.

dixienormous, a guy just came into the fabric store for some stuff for burning man. The first thing I thought of was saying "oh, my friend is going there!"
