Work
*sigh* I'm still working on the same damn stuff that was originally suppose to be done mid-April. Now it's looking mid-June. Add to that the number of unknowns related to my agency merging with another agency and things are becoming incredibly frustrating.
At least my coworkers are a bright spot. Nothing like seeing one take a cane Office Space-style to a piñata. :o)
House
The only progress inside is a ceiling fan in my bedroom and rehanging things in the living room.
Progress outside is at a crawl. Dad helped me get rid of the boxwoods and a privet bush. I chopped down the azaleas the other day and got rid of the branches in my car (which of course made a mess I had to clean up). I finished moving the damn landscape rocks out of one flower bed and am slowly clearing them out of the other one. Once that's done, I need to till the beds and buy some plants to plant. Hopefully it'll be done in the next few weeks.
Crafts
I haven't made much of any progress on the navy & teal socks and actually made negative progress on the other teal socks when I had to rip out part of the heel to redo the sizing.

My trip to NYC was a lot of fun. The highlights: Thai food, Indian food, marvelous gelato, yummy cupcakes, the Staten Island Ferry, Central Park and the musical Coraline, which was absolutely amazing.

If your Vox Neighborhood had a potluck dinner tonight, what dish, drink or dessert would you bring?

If you could eat only 3 foods for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Going with the assumption that the foods can be cooked differently as necessary, I'd pick chicken, apples, and bread.
Imagine a simple grilled cheese sandwich under a broiler. Then ask yourself "what is that smell." Then imagine flames shooting from this grilled cheese sandwich as it turns charcoal black as you realized you did not put the racks in the "correct" slots. *sigh*
I'm still trying to figure out how it is I rarely have issues while baking but cooking is such a different matter . . .
