Her penny stash. Never let it be said that she has no cents at all!
I borrowed Firstborn’s vacuum. Then I walked the apartment with the assistant manager and turned in our keys. Stick a spork in us; we’re done.
And to celebrate, we went to the Cheesecake Factory, where I used the gift card a friend had given me. This is the bread that they brought us while we waited for our cheesecake; it is also the new desktop image on my computer.
LittleBit had the Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake. I had the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut.
[It’s not listed on their website, but it has Caramel in the name somewhere.] We divided each in half, and shared.
Bliss!
Changing the subject; check this out. Very clever, actually. It’s made of plywood [top and bottom], EPS board [completely inert, non-toxic and recyclable] and rope. It functions as a stool and as a side table. It will support 300 pounds, which would more than adequately handle my exponentially-expanding stack of books to be read. And it’s on sale, but I bet I could make something like unto it for a whole lot less.
Had a blast at the church social last night. Played no games, just sat at a couple of tables and watched others play, while I knitted and visited with them. And there was pie and/or ice cream for dessert, or a vegetable platter for the diabetics.

You shouldn't have brought cheesecake to your blog if you didn't have enough to share with the rest of us. ;)
Those tables look pretty cool, and yes, I'm sure you could make one yourself for a much smaller investment.
Congrats on getting through your move successfully.
I love the Cheesecake Factory. The little grump and I love to share the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cheesecake. Or the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough cheesecake. Absolutely decadent!
I like Cheesecake Factory but I think their food is overpriced. I think I will just have to make it a rule to go there when I need really good cheesecake and let it be.
I agree that their food is overpriced. I will probably never be willing to spend what it takes to find out if it's worth the price.
i.e., Pappadeaux's is expensive. And the servings are ginormous. So I don't mind going to Pappadeaux's once or twice a year and getting three or four meals out of it.
I think that Cheesecake Factory's desserts are also expensive. But I'm willing to splurge every other month or so, because the quality is commensurate.
I came over to comment on your move and say how happy I am it's over. But then I saw that thing at the very end about "pie and/or ice cream for dessert, or a vegetable platter for the diabetics" and now I am upset. In whose world is a plate of vegetables the equivalent of pie and ice cream???!!!
The least they could have done is have fruit. It's sort of sweet. And probably have yogurt/lite kool whip to put on it. If they will just tell them how many carbs, most diabetics can fit in some fruit and diet topping.
I know this is not your fault and I'm not yelling at you. I just hope you will raise some awareness in the group before their next social.
Pie-free in Utah (mostly)
And the kinds of cheesecake they offer make me drool just thinking about it.
