Well you know what they say . . . the best laid plans of mice and men . . . Although it has been nearly three years (3 really, can that be right?) since my last post, don't think for one minute I haven't had every intention of keeping up with my blog. Oh yea, "intentions", isn't the road to hell paved with them?
Life is still grand in America's Finest City despite having had to put up with Mayor Naughty and all his shenanigans over the summer. Last count 39 people had filed to run for mayor. Is that the unemployment level talking or do people really want the job that bad?
Speaking of jobs, I am still hard at work at Ameriprise with Carl. I know, I said I was not liking the new responsibility, well what did I know? New responsibilities = new endeavors and a more pleasing work environment for me = YEA! If only the commute could be shortened, especially the never ending traffic on the way home on the 15. I have decided to make the best of that situation with audiobooks. Recently, I finished The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani" A good read that my Book Club plans on discussing next week.
Most of all though the book really made me hungry for Italian food. Thank goodness fall appears to be on it's way and so I have been asked to make stuffed shells for this week's Sunday dinner. Homemade sauce with a little bit of Italian sausage in the sauce and some spinach mixed in with the ricotta cheese. Laura has promised to make canollis for dessert. I am doing my best to train her to be what a dear Italian man I know says of my Italian food - "best Italian food of any Irish girl I know".
