6th post of the Month! Yeh Me!!

I am really a horrible blogger.. and it's not because I don't enjoy it, I do. Really. I just have such a hard time making myself sit down and write. This month, I am on a ROLL! 6 posts! I think that might be the most completed blogs in a 4 week span for me.
I have reached the end of my french recipe collection. If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than willing to try them out. The next project could possibly be creme brulee or a fondant cake. (Fondant as in the chocolate volcano cake, not the nasty cake icing.) As I have a major sweet tooth, I was trying to avoid the dessert recipes for as long as possible. Alas, they are calling my name. Yum!
There has been very little happening this week.. other than the wonderful weather. Oh, and the fact they are STILL working on our elevator. Buns of steel.. that's what you will all be calling me in March when we come home after walking up and down 5 flights of stairs everyday 4 or 5 times. I have to work off the creme brulee somehow, right?

I wish everyone a very happy weekend! May it be warm, sunny, and spent doing something fun!
5 weeks until we are in the land of Target, Mexican food, and people we love! Yeh!

Elevator Music

There is a very interesting happening in our building. For the past week, we have been without an elevator. This wouldn't normally bother me, I don't really use it all that often during the week. The problem is that the elevator shaft is right beside our apartment. So, while they "fix the problem"- I get to listen to the lovely music. Drilling, beating, banging, shouting... ahhhhhhhh.. beautiful.

The irony of this is that last Monday and Tuesday, the elevator was down for a regular maintenance "check-up". Wednesday morning it was up and running again. But by that evening- it was off. They have been working on this thing for 5 business days. I am relatively sure they could have built a brand new one in that time. And, it makes me really nervous that I was riding in that elevator the day it broke.

So now, I just wait for the music to stop, the workmen to go home and allow the rest of the building to enjoy modern convenience.
