Usual oatmeal breakfast. Patrick and I prepared angel food cake. At work today we held Joel's birthday party. I found healthy dessert recipes on kraftfoods.com and brought Angel Lush cake and NILLA Yogurt Freeze frozen yogurt cups. Steaven brought a quiche, half sausage, half mushroom. Lucia brought a giant platter of strawberries. Others brought orange juice, another fruit platter, and more. Computer help for student GR. We talked about Susan, Oscar, and Jamie. Among other things, GR told me that Betty's Diner on 4th in Berkeley was the best place for pancakes ever. Student JC picked up the laptop on which I had finished work. Lunch: takeout from the cafeteria: beef stroganoff over noodles with mixed grilled vegetables. Chatted briefly with Betty-ann about posters and Laura Myers. Joel sent me a photo of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers home court and in it you can see their championship banners hanging from the rafters. He asked me to fake a new banner which said 2007 because he couldn't wait to see it that way, so I did. Handed off a new e-mail account and password to student NS for the students to use for the Spring Auction. I migrated Chris from his old Dell laptop to his new Apple laptop. Wrote up a referral for Melissa H who is starting an intern position this summer related to her legal studies. I had forgotten what dates she had worked at the OSACA, but using my journal I was able to piece it together—whew! Dinner at home with Patrick: herbes de provence pork chops, mashed potatoes, steamed carrots for me, southwestern mixed vegetables for Patrick. Dessert for me: one Girl Scouts thin mint cookie, one strawberry sliced and fanned, a dollop of cool whip free. Dessert for Patrick: two thin mint cookies.
