this and that

Nothing much to report today. I did can 25 lbs of cherries last night. I know, HOLY MOTHER. I found a great deal on organic bing cherries... 10 lbs or more were .99 cents a pound. So, needless to say, I couldn't help myself. My two favorite fruits to eat canned in delicious sugary syrup are A. Cherries and B. Pears. So I'll be doing both of those, I think. (I do make a really really light syrup... so mine aren't as bad as the storebought. If you buy good ripe fruit, it works).

I was a little disheartened this morning when I got to the 'Bucks only to be told that because I had not printed out the coupon for my free pastry, I was basically shit out of luck. Um, I never saw a print option. Perhaps I am blind, yes. That must be it. (Speaking of blind, I am getting contacts today, OH HAPPY DAY! I can wear normal sunglasses!) The barista that makes the drinks at my local Starbucks is a super star. She makes the best drinks and she is always friendly and polite. The cashier however, ... makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I told her iced twice and she wrote it all down on a hot cup. I am judgemental, I know. But I did coffee for six years. It's really not that much pressure people. Get it straight.

Here are some lovely photos of my sister and I at the concert. Just so you know for certain that we were there.
