I’ve been making my own peanut butter for a while now. It’s really easy, and better than store-bought, with no mystery ingredients. This batch is about 2/3 peanuts and 1/3 cashews, but I suppose you could make it with any combination of nuts you like.
Today at work we celebrated the power of play, including playing in the mud. Here’s two of my coworkers getting into the spirit of things. I suspect one or both of them will make this their profile picture soon 🙂
There is an exhibit at work with about 10,000 of these simple 1″ x 4″ wooden blocks. Today, a family created this amazing…castle? compound? I don’t know what to call it, but it spanned two tables, and apparently took 4 hours. This is a detail shot. (FB users, click through to see the whole thing.)

Helped my mom unpack today, which meant I was sent home with assorted boxes of stuff she doesn’t have space for, but that are far too sentimental to toss. Among them was this envelope, postmarked 1960, and sent to my mom from her summer camp alma mater.
I just received this Tshirt in the mail. It’s very cute and purple, but I did not order it. Someone out there knows me well enough to recognize my favorite color, but not so well that they got the right size. Whoever you are, I like it a lot, but am going to try to exchange it for a smaller size. Thanks, mystery friend!
The people I work with are just as sick and twisted as people anywhere else. This baby sits on my coworker’s desk. Various people have added a pierced ear, a tattoo, and a nose ring I gave it the bone to chew on. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn’t have a name.
One of my coworkers knit a friend for Watson. He seems, as always, unmoved and perhaps a bit affronted. One of the staff have named her Annabel.

This was supposed to be a selfie, but I looked awful so I cropped myself out of it. Spent the evening with my cousin Lindsay and her daughter who are visiting from Arizona. Wandered around Boston then headed to Cambridge for ice cream, and had a really lovely evening. So good to see them!
A coworker emailed me that she had “an interesting dead moth” and would I like to have it. It turned out to be a butterfly, but still interesting.
