It's been a long week (work, vomity dog, sleepless nights, phone not ringing).
Fortunately, in addition to my email buddies, I had this to keep me company through the endless, brutal days:
Oh, mama. A few slices of this buttery, blueberry-y, frosted goodness, and I felt like I could have hoisted my entire office building over my head and run circuits around Manhattan.
My friends, bless them, also sent me some special St. Patty's Day Mint Thumbprint cookies. Brilliant. Buttery, slightly nutty, and a hint of mint. Oh, yes.
I hoarded some of each in my office and set the rest out in the pantry to share, and about ten seconds later, there wasn't a crumb left of anything. It has been confirmed: the Danes dominate in New York just as they do...well, in Denmark. And the American Midwest. And Greenland. Skol!
(I need some new topics up in here, I realize. Waiting for a referral and eating pastry can only bring me so far. Eh.)
I feel like you are allowed to talk about cookies and eat as many cookies as you'd like while waiting for a referral. So please continue.

Pastries and babies are two of my favorite things...that's why I stalk your blog. :)

On the upside, looks like you've had mucho frosting in your life this week? Are those St. Pat's cookies, like, FILLED with frosting? Because if yes, well, I'm mightily envious. Of the week you've had. On the basis of those cookies alone. And - I'm - off - to order some of that there pastry you've depicted.

I have a votimy dog too! Unfortunately, I do not have any box of sweet treats with which to console myself. I chose not to end that sentence with a preposition because I sense you're the kind of girl that would notice stuff like that. Crap, I just used the word stuff, which probably insn't specific enough.

I don't see why you need new topics. Just pastry could probably keep me going for a while. And babies are always food for talking.
