An announcement or three!

Greetings, pickle chips!  Welcome to September!

This is my favorite time of year.  I was sitting outside on the porch having coffee this morning.. It was about 48 degrees and foggy, mystical, fabulous.  You can already start to feel the thinning of the veil.

Anyway.  Woo woo mysticism aside, I have some announcements!

First and foremost, I just turned 40 on Saturday, which was a weird sort of transition in my head.  I have also been dragged down by my annual Labor Day Cold, so I didn't really notice the transition until this morning.  Expect to see more of me around here!

Announcement #2:  Soul Food!

I'm going to be one of the Sous Chefs for Soul Food in 2015, and I am SUPER CRAZY EXCITED.  It starts February 1, 2015 and offers two lessons per week for three months.  Jam PACKED with awesome!  You can read more information about the class here and get information about the instructors (and see my goofy mug) here.  Woot woot!!

Announcement #3:  I like you!

I have so much other stuff to talk about, but some is secret and some is overwhelming, so I'm just going to leave you with a picture of a painting I've been working on with my daughter, who is 6.

She thinks those ladies are awfully cute.  She's such a little creeper.  The pink things in the background?  Zombie cupcakes.  BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

I'm off to walk the dog and enjoy the quiet house in between bouts of lung-wrenching coughing.  YAY LABOR DAY.
