Hell Week --> Chocolate Chip Scones

Usually a "hell week" is a week before a play, musical, concert - anything where there are rehearsals every night and you go home a) having forgotten that there is life off the stage and b) wondering how you can stand five more seconds of the people involved.

I just had an insane week with basically my life, and enough of it involved performance that I feel it is appropriate to call it a hell week of sorts. In the past seven days, I have been to three rehearsals, three rounds of auditions (The oldies a cappella group I'm in held auditions, I didn't have to audition for anything.), and (including tonight) three shows. While none of these things are inherently stressful activities, they took up SOO MUCH TIME.

Time during which, if I had not been rehearsing and whatnot, I could have been writing that paper that was due today that I instead wrote in bits and pieces every time I had a spare minute. I could have been painting for my art class. I could have read something for fun. Hell, I could have read my History homework. I could have been SLEEPING.

Consequently, I have been feeling like merde all week. (I don't normally swear in French. I just thought it might be classier than putting "shit." Which I have now done anyway.) SOO after show number 3 tonight I plan to get some cooking therapy. Which I'm sure will turn into eating therapy for Mike and my roommates.

I think that if my ex-boss (we broke up on good terms) facebooks me the recipe tonight, I might get to make....

drumroll please....

CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES! 

I'm not sure yet, and if I do, there's no guarantee they will look like that ^. But in the past, when I used to make them at Thanks A Latte, my old job (hence, ex-boss and knowledge of said recipe) they looked better. So this could be a great idea, both in stress-level-lowering and in the deliciosity factor. And after this, I swear I will attempt to make something that does not have "chip" in the title.

I make no guarantees on whether it has "chocolate."
