11-15-08 I have been a bad gnome

I humbly apologize for failing to post to the blog for several weeks. After I returned from Alaska at the beginning of October, I threw myself back into the kitchen project. For weeks my days have consisted of breakfast, remodeling, brunch, remodeling, lunch, remodeling, snack break, remodeling, high tea, remodeling, dinner, story time, sleep. By the end of the night I can hardly keep my tiny eyes open! Even on the weekends I am working all day...sometimes I even skip high tea! For a gnome to miss high tea is unheard of. The tradition dates back to the Gnomistani tea party of 1773. It happened roughly a month after your Boston tea party but due to the poor communications of the day, we misunderstood the nature of the event. Instead of throwing tea into Boston harbor as a tax protest, we threw all our tea into a giant cloth bag and dipped it into a huge, tall cauldron of boiling water. From that day forth, every day we remember that event by making a cup of tea and toasting our forefathers. And so began the tradition of high tea. I'm sorry, I've drifted off topic. Anyway, I hereby promise to post more often.
