My New Best Friend

Me and my new best friend (photo credit: Child #3)

When my writing critique group, Denny's Chicks, spent a weekend in Dana Point, uh, writing and gabbing, Stacey Goldblatt brought her milk frother. Actually, Stacey also brought homemade vegan goodies, a mean salad and squares of chocolate.

But it was her milk frother that I coveted.


And coveted and coveted and coveted.

Finally, I just broke down and bought myself one. So, now I'm the proud and happy owner of my very own milk frother.

With his love for hot chocolate, Child #2 is also thrilled with the milk frother.

And on the topic of Child #2, can I just brag for a quick sec? We're all very excited as more and more colleges send him acceptance letters! At some point, a decision will have to be made. But, for this week, it's all fun and games and ego boosting.

Have a great Wednesday! And if you haven't bought yourself something recently, go for it!

  8. Teresa: I will pass along your congrats to Child #2. He is very proud of himself. :)

    Debra: What???? Their are travel frothers?? Can you recommend one?

    Charley: Brilliant idea! I will try honey tomorrow. (Probably not cinnamon as I'm not a huge fan it the spice). Thanks!

    Stacy: I have the same wish! ;)

  9. Charles: I'd never heard of a milk frother until that fateful writing weekend! It heats milk/cream or heats and froths milk/cream.

    Green Girl: Vanilla! I never thought of that! MUST try!

    Annie: I was living under the same rock. :)

  10. Can I accuse you of writing froth? You do know how to milk a tale.

  11. I guess I've been living under a rock, too. Never heard of a milk frother. Add the chocolate and I'm sold on it.

    Congrats to Child #2. Pat yourself and #2 on the back for a job well done. I'm sure this gives you peace of mind, knowing another child is on the right track and ready to soar from the coop.

  12. I'm not a big coffee fan (though I love the smell). I have to admit, though, the idea of hot chocolate in the frother? Delicious!

    As for the college acceptance letters, that is fantastic!! Congrats. That tough choice is a GOOD dilemma to have. :-)
