Mac, Wacky and Jolie

Last night I…

• Ran to library (or, as it’s pronounced in our town, “li-BERRY”) and had the liBERRYan call me by my first name. I know it sounds corny but it made me feel like a local celebrity.
• Whipped together dinner and an experimental “Wacky Cake” from a recipe I found in Cook’s Country. The historical cake, the result of some crafty cook's response to World War II rationing, is butterless and involves making three craters in the batter to dump in vegetable oil, vanilla extract and – get this – white vinegar. When covered with Reddi-Whip, it takes just like a Ding-Dong. However, I should probably mention that I’m not a huge fan of Ding-Dongs.
• Stayed up into the wee hours so I could read The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio all in one sitting.

During Lunch Today I…

• Speaking of doing something all in one sitting -- ate an entire box of Amy’s Natural Mac and Cheese whilst working on a project for work.
• Found out about the Angelina Jolie / Brad Pitt baby and actually became sniffily thinking about what a rotten day Jennifer Anniston must be having.
• Wondered why I was so emotionally wrapped up in this.
• Realized I’m suffering from PMS.
• Had another piece of wacky cake and grabbed a tissue.
