After talking about not having blogged in quite some time and wondering if anyone is still reading this...I'm sorry for the delay. The winter was "tuff" but now my sight is clear once again and i can trudge thru the muck and mire.

my little business, ivy...Uppercrust Pastry, has been accepted at a Farmer's market here in beautiful Chicago!!! Yippie! Of course the market is in a concrete plaza surrounded by skyscrapers, Prudential Plaza to be exact, but why would we need a market if it was located anywhere else. i will be selling every Tuesday (7-2) from June to October. so if you are in the neighborhood, please say Hello! i'll try to post weekly once the market starts and show you my progress.

on other notes, i'm craving Korean BBQ and tonight i will be dining with an old flame who had fallen off the face of the earth, according to me, but apparently just did not care to communicate properly why the separation had to occur. tonight i hope to get an answer!

for all of you out there who are deciding to forge a path in another direction, away from a person you've briefly encountered on a romantic basis, I STRONGLY encourage you to communicate your decision to such person, in anyway possible, but preferably something longer than a text or post-it note. The human race will be better for it, so think not of yourself. (i recently did this in email form, a bit chicken of me, but i could not leave it to avoiding phone calls and such) It all goes back to the second greatest commandment--Love your neighbor as yourself. If you wouldn't do it to yourself than why do it to someone else.
