Things are getting to be hectic now that the spring term has begun. It is nice to hear the buzz of young people around me but unfortunately I am ensconced in my office most of the time. There are a lot of things to organise and follow up--but I like that part of my job though. If only I could organise other things in this world the same way. Do I sound like a control freak? Maybe.
I am the sort of person who wants to know the ending of a movie or book beforehand. In fact when I am in the middle of a good book I read the last few pages. I encourage my friends to tell me the ending of a movie before I watch it. I also want to know who won a pre-taped game (golf, football, etc) or who won the elections. Predictability, that’s what I like. It gives me a sense of security. I do not have to worry about the results. It’s quite funny because at work, people start to worry when I am not here before anyone else. I am hardly late for work--ever--unless I am sick (very rare occurrence) or in an accident (once) or snowed in! Not wishing to tempt fate I do not know the last time I called in sick. I park in the same slot every single day. I leave the house at 7.00am on the dot and I do not even need an alarm clock to wake me in the mornings even in winter time.
I am always punctual. This I got from my father. I only write in black ink. Now I do sound spooky!
I am almost finished with my file management at home. I have labelled new folders and chucked out the old ones. Now they all look the same and as perfect as my paper files at work. Hehehe. I guess I want everything “sorted” just in case something happens to me or I need to find something. Again this has something to do with security. I need to be assured.

Norrie,
Hi from New York! I do a lot of baking and cooking these days and have learned a lot of recipes, mostly heirloom recipes. I have a good recipe for Pork Tenderloin, chicken cordon bleu, carrot cake w/ cream cheese frosting, wine cake, butterball cookies etc. Let me know if you are looking for a specific recipe. I am looking for a good rhum cake recipe. Do you happen to have one? Jennie
