Favourite thing yesterday: after the kids told me, leadingly, that they have friends who get money for grades on their report cards ($10 for A, $5 or B etc--can this really be??), I told them that they could each have a hot chocolate from Truffle Treasures "for their report cards" (whatever that means). But it turned out to be a doubly good thing: their happiness when they came home from school to find the hot chocolate of their choice waiting for them (chocolate and banana is what they both requested); and I got myself a hot chocolate as well (aztec--basically, spicy) which was delicious. And it reminded me of the first time I had one of those thick thick dark hot chocolates at an outdoor cafe in Venice and I couldn't believe that something so amazing existed in the world and it had taken me so long to discover it (I was seventeen). Many years later (20!), Joel made me hot chocolate in San Francisco from Mexican chocolate and spices that was whipped up in a blender. Also a new discovery, also delicious.
Today there are no favourite things. It was one of those days filled with many many many infuriating things. I could tally up these things and determine which was the most infuriating of them all but that would be a different blog.
