It's PMS week - oh happy day! Another chance to delve into the depths of my paranoia and monkey-mind while eating chocolate and hating myself. Huzzah! Got so many blog posts i want to share with you, but first i gotta get
through this to-do list. Actually, it's more like a to-do scroll.
I wish i was sitting on that bench right now. Maybe tomorrow... wanna join me? I'll bring the cupcakes.
:)
I'm RIGHT there with you sista! Why, why, why?!?!
Yes please on the bench date...make mine chocolate w/ white icing (x2 or 4) & I'll bring the coffee & personal premenstrosity!!!

premenstrally yours

hear ya. I am actually considering making my own croissants. with chocolate inside.
Posted by: Mel | Apr 14, 2010 at 03:01 PM
oh Mel, pls teach me how to do that!
Posted by: Susannah | Apr 14, 2010 at 03:02 PM
That's what I need today--good company, a lovely bench, and cupcakes!
Instead what I have is PMS, a cranky child with a cold, and a monstrous to-do list. :(

I read your blog often, this is my first time commenting - thank you for this today, I feel the SAME way! Stop the world I want to get off. Sending you a virtual mug of something warm and yummy. And what a beautiful picture.

You know how when you spend a lot of time with other women (i.e my flatmate and I) your periods start to sync. Do you think there could be virtual syncing too?!
That bench looks too appealing. I'll bring the flask of tea for the tea lovers amongst us.
Posted by: Tor | Apr 14, 2010 at 03:08 PM
Tor - yes i do think we can sync with each other over the internet, absolutely!
Erika - come join us, love!
Alexis - you win, hon, that sounds like hell ((you))
Ladies, today this post is our Red Tent.... cupcakes, tea, coffee, croissants, wine, rum, and a talking stick so we each get a chance for a good ole moan :-D
Posted by: Susannah | Apr 14, 2010 at 03:14 PM
I hear you. All I want is cake today. I think when I get home I'm going to make a Victoria Sponge with Bonne Maman raspberry jam and vanilla marscapone instead of cream. :)

When you move to London Susannah I will make sure my best friend bakes you some yummy cupcakes for days like this. This weekend I am being forced to taste-test coffee and baileys cupcakes and lemon curd ones. Oh yep, she will be twisting my arm, ha ha.
Hope you feel better soon, the grey day isn't helping really is it? x
Posted by: kate | Apr 14, 2010 at 03:32 PM
Oh I wish I lived closer...since I am PMS'ing BIG TIME! I'd love a cupcake...with a some alcohol. xo
Posted by: Melissa | Apr 14, 2010 at 03:45 PM
I'll bring the wine.
Posted by: Brigitte | Apr 14, 2010 at 03:51 PM
Looks fantastic! Sounds delightful!
Sadly, I seem to have mislaid my period and am missing it more than I thought
Cake all round, in any case!

Love the scroll comment. I agree! My scroll is flowing out my office door.
Posted by: Alanna | Apr 14, 2010 at 04:23 PM
My comfort food of choice at this 'special time' is mashed potatoes. I'll make enough for all of us - bring forks!
Posted by: Angie Muldowney | Apr 14, 2010 at 04:52 PM
I completely agree with the syncing. It's creepy and amazing and wonderful. It looks like a lot of us will be bringing food/chocolate/alcohol to this bench party. Count me in, I'm bringing the Irish creme.
Posted by: Rachel B. | Apr 14, 2010 at 05:31 PM
I can teach you how to make croissants... but the amount of butter that goes into them may be a shock - maybe ignorance is bliss in this case:)
Posted by: Mel | Apr 14, 2010 at 05:46 PM
I'm going to sing all day today. And perhaps I'll draw a face on my hand and turn it into a puppet. trying to get over my own crankies by utilizing whimsy
Posted by: rowena | Apr 14, 2010 at 06:58 PM
Me too!!! Cyber-cycles! How funny is that...Susannah,I posted a photo of the dreamiest Lemon Cupcakes from my fave local haunt on my FB wall...and a fail-proof bread recipe for, these kind of days :) Feel better, darlin'~
Cheers~

P.S. I can't wait till Unravelling II!!!

Oh yes, that spot looks fabulous. I think PMS could explain the fact that I bought two boxes of cookies on my lunch break. Two boxes. Because misery demands variety. They aren't even that good! I would happily join you for a cupcake, and coffee that has been awesomized with rum.
Posted by: Christine | Apr 14, 2010 at 07:53 PM
Oh, I'll definitely come. Cupcakes are the perfect PMS remedy. Can I have pink icing on mine? I'll bring the sunshine and ginger tea.
Posted by: Holly | Apr 14, 2010 at 08:52 PM
You bring the cupcakes and I'll bring some cakepops.
Its Victoria here from the HM writing course. Just wanted to say I love your blog. Your photography is inspiring. Wonderful stuff.

yes!!!:-)
i´ll be there, i´ll find something to bring.....
what a sweet feast we are going to have....
Posted by: barbara | Apr 14, 2010 at 10:27 PM
...Thought I was going to kill someone today. For talking with food in his mouth. Then realized...Not really wishing this beloved person be-headed just full of nasty hormones...Deep breath. Sip coffee. Bite caramel-chocolate-pretzel-heavenly-creation-stick-thingy.Close eyes...This too shall pass, though if I stay out of prison it'll be a miracle! ;)

Oh how I wish. And cupcakes...they'd have to be sugar free...just found out that while everything else seems to be going wrong, on verge of diabetes. Shocked.
Have a good night...
Posted by: Susan | Apr 15, 2010 at 12:25 AM
wow. beautiful.
Posted by: Mindy | Apr 15, 2010 at 02:11 AM

I was in the park today with a friend and just feel like I need more time alone now to recover ( we had 3 kids with us )
