Who’d have thought? I’m not sure what to do about this. I know I have things to say, I’m just not sure what they are right now.

Any thoughts? Ideas? Things I should cover? Regular features I should add?

I see it coming but there is nothing I can do! Where is a product for making more hours in the day when you need one?? Someone invent this for me!

I have lots of things to write about coming up. Look for: Kilo Kai rum and cocktails made with it, including some fabulous hot buttered rum (I’m giving this out for Christmas); a skin tingling pumpkin facial peel; and something else I’m forgetting.

Right now I need to go down to the basement to help myself to some unsatisfying vending machine offerings. I’m freezing and need some coffee!

I have a confession to make.

It should come as no surprise that I am a bit of a hoarder. I collect things. Lots of things. Not like in a having collections sort of way like people are with knick knacks or stamps or vintage, well, everything these days. No. I mean I just keep acquiring stuff.

This would be fine, except… I’m scared to use it. I will buy stuff, then put it away and avoid taking it out and using it, just to keep it safe. How ridiculous is this?

Last summer we went to Chicago and I got the chance to walk around and do a little shopping in Chinatown. It was great. We went in a little tea shop and I found this fabulous kitty cup set. So cute! I had to have it! I had them wrap it up. I carefully wedged it in my bag. I carefully brought it home. I put it in the cupboard. In the cupboard where it has stayed for the last 5 months.

Until tonight.

I’d like you to know that right now, right this very moment, I am forcing myself to drink tea out of one of these adorable tea cups. And it’s hard! My instincts tell me no! What if something happens to it?! What if it has a nasty Muffin-induced accident like the adorable cow bowl?! What if it gets chipped when I wash it?! What if the tea stains it?! What if what if!!

But tonight, right now, right this very moment, I’m making that voice shut up! I’m doing it and… it’s nice!
