Good Morning!
Like niece like aunt today- I'm in my sweats, but instead of being cozy on the chaise, I'm in the president's reading room at school, plugging away on my portfolio.
I had a major break through this morning- a paper that has been eluding edit completions for months now was finished in exactly 56 minutes. Seema's with me working on her proposal, she must be good luck.
I'm in sort of an exciting hold pattern. I have a bunch of things I have to do, but at the same time, there are all of these changes and rearranges going on about me. It's refreshing and terrifying all at once. I'm trying not to be my usual wussy nervous self, but the brave face needs work. It's very bouncing at the top of the teeter totter... it almost reminds me of when "sister" Jimmy would get us stuck at the top and start bouncing us, laughing at the shouts of "Oh MY GOD, Jimmy!"
Regardless of the outcome, it's fun and exciting.
I've been up to a lot the past couple of weeks:
I've made:
a peach tart
a few batches of caponata- Sicilian Ratatouille
blueberry pie-- did not travel well... I spent a good 20 minutes with stain remover and a hairbrush in the backseat of the car trying to clean it up last night.
The world's best chocolate cake cupcakes-- the recipe was from family circus, the rest have been all mine/ modifications on family recipes! Sorry that I didn't get a picture of the cupcakes but they were such a hit that I'll be making them again and fill you in when I do.
And finally
Lots of bread... I maintain that I have the best fed birds in the valley... I've done a couple of loaves every week and pitched all but one to the birds... I will get this.
I was gifted some furniture- and mom and dad were over to rearrange- I'm sitting in the best chair on earth taking the pick... I think it's settling in nicely.
I visited a farm- and will have some pics of me attempting to milk at some point.
The last bit of excitement- someone finally has enough hair to wear a barrette!
Back to work. Enjoy the sunshine!
