recently i'm... (9)

Arriving Home: from weekend Girls Retreat with our youth group girls.

Excited About: a 3-day work week (I guess 4, counting conferences) and MY FAMILY COMING TO VISIT!

Not Looking Forward To: conferences.

Procrastinating: unpacking & laundry from retreat.

Thinking: I shouldn't have eaten so much junk this weekend.

Literally JUST Watched: Zooey slyly pull a yellow Laffy Taffy out of our nearly empty candy basket on the ottoman and slink into the other room, hoping I didn't see her...

Reading: Bought an anthology in NYC - The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2010. Comprised of some hilarious headlines, letters-to-the-editor, whimsical essays, etc. Great plane reading.

Cooking: Made what have been dubbed my "famous cupcakes" at girls retreat - a.k.a. Cookie Dough Cupcakes, ala Annie's Eats. We had our friends Clay & Laura (and their cute kids!) over for dinner last week and I made oven-fried chicken, which has become a quick n' easy favorite of mine.

Watching: Modern Family is easily the best show on TV these days. Hysterical.

Listening To: Currently obsessed with Phil Wickham. He's sort of like what I imagine Rufus Wainwright/David Bowie would sound like if they did praise & worship. Can I say that?

Missing: Doug - he'll get home from the Boys Retreat later this evening...

Laughing At:
Goldfish?
