Welcome to Gaia! ::

::Eliza hands over a tube of sugar cookie dough, a PAM sprayed cooking sheet and a rolling pin::wash your hands then use the pin to roll out the dough - then we'll cut them in half - and after they bake we'll have our crusts!

::preheats the oven::I got some vanilla flavored yogurt for myself but have strawberry and chocolate for those who prefer those flavors

: surprised ffers bag, to choose from once the other stuff had been set down::which do you want?

::Eliza smiles at her friends's excitement, wishing she could express that again so easily::taking the first set of golden brown cookie slabs from the oven they look like the loves of bread food was served on in the middle ages::

::she sets the trey down while it cools, then taking the lid off of her yogurt asks Neon::what fruit topping do you want? I didn't think anyone wanted to pit cherries so I just got the kind in syrup - anything left over ya'll are welcome to take home or mix together as an added treat

::spreads the yogurt over the cookie like an open face sandwhich::this is the next step - now you can choose what to put on top

::gestures to choices: surprised range, lemon or lime slices - which you can use as is, a zest or just the juice sprinkled all over -- I have a few sprinkles - regular and chocoate and speaking of chocoate a few pieces of holiday candy - milk and dark broken to bits

::Eliza pauses to take a breath::we still have the cherries and a few other surprises! ::sets the items on the table, leaving the rest in the bag for the bold and curious to find::

::Eliza opens a window as the heat from the oven also made things a tad too warm inside for a nice Spring day: surprised ffers Neon a chair:: we could do that - here have a seat for a sec while the crusts cool and until the others arrive

::meanwhile daydreaming about her costume for the party::snapping out of it to focas on her friend::feel better..?

::Eliza considers the question::well I have two ideas - one if the party is more fun and casual, and the other if the code is formal...

::using this to make up her mind::asks Neon::what about you?

::planning to reveal her choice once knowing the feel of the expected costumes::

::Eliza looks surprised for a minute but giggles as she thinks of the concept::wow - that'll be fun just don't drive the guys too nuts - I'm sure they'll be as nervous as we feel!

::peels an orange::did anyone else accept the invite yet?

::drops the orange in a perfect chain-reaction, the cherries tip into a bowl -grabbing the orange split a bannana open and just nicked the carton of blueberries ::beauty-me?!

::back in the states she had been teased about her size, her lost cost yet low mateince hair still it was encouraging to recieve such a complement::

:Eliza smiles again trying not to feel to awkward from the display::places the orange down while she spreads the second layer of yogurt - leaving it just soft enough.. like-an-oreo-dipped-in-milk...::it really means a lot to me that we've become friends, to include me in this party...thanks.
