Just Me

Wow, I don't even know what day it is I've been so busy lately. From baking my pear tart with Ramon Perez to making special strawberry shortcake for my coworker's birthday, I've just been non-stop. Not to mention trying to keep up with Gabe's schedule and making great dinners, like my signature pasta with fresh veggies, for the two of us.

Speaking of Gabe, our situation is becoming increasingly frustrating. I just feel like I'm in an infinite holding pattern. We've tried so many different tactics that I'm starting to loose faith in the science, or chemistry, angle of this problem. It's so sad that a thing like the birth of a child can be converted from a situation of love to a monotonous science experiment. Another friend suggested following the moon phases. Why not?

Book club has been such a great relief from my day-to-day routine with Gabe and the bakery. Book club was always fun with Laura and Joanna, but Lizzie really adds a different element and perspective to our little group. I feel so close to her, I can hardly believe she moved here only a couple of weeks ago!

Speaking of Lizzie, I think that's her at the door. She's coming over to get an auxiliary baking lesson. She wants to learn to make an Italian dish to make for Mike as a surprise. How cute! Okay, well see ya later…
