*sighs* I know, I know. And if anyone will forgive me for being such an unmitigated ass, it's Aro. *rather sheepishly* I suppose I just feel like I need a better excuse to call now than "hi, just wanted to see how you were all doing."
You mentioned something about coffee cake?
*retrieves her cup and settles back against the couch cushions* *serenely* I did. But I believe you said something about being aroundwhich I just now heard because my brain was too busy trying to wrap around the rest of it? You might start by getting off the sofa, you great lump, and getting your poor, put-upon mother a slice of coffee cake from the kitchen. It's from Beau's Bakery down the street. Beau knows about my little handicap and so his coffee cakes are sweet with extra pity.
