Brains!

I don't like my dreaming recently. I had a dream my hair was long and when I woke up I was very upset. I had a dream that someone asked what was wrong with my face, and my response was it's just acne. Both of these reflect minor anxieties I have about both those things day to day. It's become RF's personal mission to figure out my acne, not much success. I also can't stand the in between phase my hair is in. The layers have all grown out and it's just plain ugly.

I suppose the next biggest development is I've signed up for boot camp. I don't really have much to say about that yet. It doesn't start for another 3 weeks. I wonder what it will bring.


Drack surprised me. I got my birthday present early this year. I woke up in the middle of the night parched and stumbled in to the kitchen to find a Professional 600 Kitchenaide stand mixer on the counter top. The color is buffed silver (I'm not sure if that's the real name), very very sleek indeed. Although I would have gone with a simple Artisan series (when and if I ever bought one of these for myself) but Drack tells me this one is made of all metal parts and has a motor powerful enough for many of the attachments you can buy for the stand mixers, including an ice cream maker. Oh my god home made ice cream reminds me of Jameson Ranch Camp. I smile now every time I walk in our kitchen.

Boot camp and stand mixer will probably cancel each other out - how can I not bake every damn weekend now? It would be a travesty. This afternoon the inaugural baking event shall be held. We're hoping for blueberry muffins. I wonder if there is some way to bless the mixer? You know, like cracking a bottle of champagne over the hull, in this case the bowl...

Anyway Drack is truly the best.
