Who would have thunk it…at 10:35pm last night my hands were crafting mass amounts of cat poo (cookies). While others were out having fancy dinners, or watching TV, or reading their books, or painting a picture, or sleeping…I was creating cat feces. The best part was thinking about what sorts of mix-ins would look most realistic…corn and coconut were my final two conclusions. I wasn’t just making cat poo for fun, oh no! Our office is having a holiday party with an elaborate scavenger hunt followed by broomball at a local ice rink. The cat poo is for a “Clean or Dirty” challenge. Teams pick either clean or dirty…if they choose clean, they have to clean a classroom from top to bottom. If they choose dirty, they simply eat cat poo. This decadent kitty litter dessert idea came from the lovely Marcy Swiatek at her honky tonk murder mystery party last year.
Speaking of honky tonk…I am still not quite over this song.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
