Daphne is...

• Home alone tonight
  - It's my first night alone in the new place. My husband had to go out of town for work. It feels weird, but also kind of nice to have the place to myself. I won't do anything different tonight than I would when he's here, but still.


• Martha Stewart
  - I really can't quit cooking and baking. Last night I made a pork roast, potatoes and corn on the cob, and finished it off with an open faced plum cake from the new Martha Stewart magazine. I'm so very domestic in this new, beautiful condo.


• Tired of her job.
  Really tired of it. - I have moments in the day when my job is pretty decent... but mostly I'm done with it.


• Loving entertaining.
  - I feel so grownup. We can just have people over whenever we want, because our condo is always clean, there's more than enough seating space, and we always have something to eat here.


• Not a good gardener.
  - I received a beautiful orchid as a housewarming gift just over a week ago, and I think I might already be killing it. If I can't keep a fern alive, I certainly shouldn't be undertaking caring for an orchid. It's just not a good idea.


• A little bored this evening.
  - But not for lack of things to do. I really should get those damn thank you cards done tonight. That would surprise the husband. And it would be good to stop feeling guilty about it.


• Listening to the dishwasher, dehumidifier and air conditioner.
  - All together, they really make a lot of noise


• Hoping her brother and sister-in-law come up to visit next Sunday.


• Happy with her life ...
  outside of the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday - Friday.


• Gassy.
  A lot of Indian food this weekend contributed to that
