Gave blood this morning. The last two times I've gone I've been a really slow bleeder - next time I have to make sure I drink a ton of water the days leading up so I can let the blood fly. I thought there would be a lot of people donating blood for the hurricane victims but I was the only one there this morning.

Did some cooking this afternoon/evening. I made some Organic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies and they came out delicious. I always worry about the "healthier" desserts because they tend to taste funny or taste bad. These came out excellent. I also made some pasta sauce using the tomatoes from our garden. I was pleased with how this came out as well. Kristin said she liked it too so bonus points for me.

The cats are doing fine. We've started to integrate Maggie Mittens with the others. Rowdy and Maggie enjoy playing with each other which Sratchy watches. Itchy is still being a pompous pussy and hisses when they come by her. We also started letting Maggie come out of her room and explore - she hasn't come downstairs yet but we'll get there sometime soon.

No antique shows this weekend. There is one next weekend I'm going to try and hit before class starts. Did get some gloves cleaned up and put on the website.
