I barely had enough to warrant a full load, and I thought Eli’s eyes might pop out of his head when he realized I’d thrown my darks and lights together.

No one should be allowed to enter without her permission. You’ll feel better if you invite me to join you for this heat.” Right. Because that wasn’t awkward at all.

Please RSVP and don’t forget to check whether you’d like the chicken or the steak to be served during our intermittent food breaks. Apparently, I’d rambled that out loud
