I think I just found heaven

… or at least my new favor­ite drink. I can *feel* the weight piling on to my hips as I drink it though.

I present:

The spiced coconut mocha freeze.

Ingredi­ents: Dagoba organic drink­ing chocol­ate, espresso, coconut milk, cay­enne, cin­na­mon, orange zest, ice. Pul­ver­ize in blender.

Pros: Unbe­liev­ably deli­cious; con­tains coffee; nat­ur­ally lactose-free.
Cons: Not con­du­cive to thinning.

This seems as good a time as any to fill you all in on the fun adven­tures recently. 

Let’s see: Thursday I spent half the day hanging out with 

journey2master

and 

joedecker

right here in the little café that could, talk­ing about pho­to­graphy and life and coming out and stuff, then had scrummy Mex­ican down the road and I tasted my first chicken mole (inter­est­ing) then I went and volun­teered at the com­munity center I’m volun­teer­ing at, help­ing the teens there put together a zine. Then I hung out with them and watched an awe­some movie that is doing fest­ival cir­cuits here: The Curi­os­ity of Chance which you should def­in­itely check out,

Friday we had a meet­ing with a fin­an­cial plan­ner and now we have a bunch of socially respons­ible invest­ments he’s going to make for us – it’s kind of inter­est­ing, because he star­ted out saying he didn’t think we could get a diver­si­fied port­fo­lio with just green funds and I pshawed and said “watch me” and found vari­ous funds for him and then he went look­ing for more and now we have a very good-look­ing, diver­si­fied port­fo­lio with the right bal­ance of big funds that exclude bad stocks and little funds that pos­it­ively screen for good stocks and he’s happy and we’re happy.

Can’t remem­ber what we did in the after­noon… We stayed home and watched Chil­dren of Men on DVD in the evening.

Then Sat­urday was Lugh­nas­adh, so we had a har­vest picnic. First we went to break­fast in a nearby town and to a farm­er’s mar­kets and bought fresh organic ber­ries and breads and eggs, and then we met with friends in the park and played Scrabble and Fluxx, laughed at the geese and fed the squir­rels raspberries. 

And then, to com­plete the lazy day, we went and saw The Bourne Ulti­matum. It was super. Yes­ter­day does­n’t really bear men­tion­ing because Sunday is clean­ing day.
