Looking forward to: going home for Easter break, obviously! Also, really looking forward to my first pedicure of the season on Wednesday...
Contemplating: trying to sew a dress for myself...
Baking: birthday treats for Doug's co-worker. Double Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes (thanks, Annie!)
(Yeah, they're divine.)
Planning: a garden. But I think I should probably make raised beds... that will probably be my project for Easter break. Along with finishing my bedside table project.
Eating: My goodness, I can't even think about how many bags of Cadbury mini eggs Doug & I (let's be honest, mostly I) have eaten! Doug made dinner the other night & it was fabulous - he made up a marinade for chicken, grilled some veggies & made rice. Rice is my Achilles' heel in cooking. Well, one of them. I know - that defeats the idea of an Achilles' heel. Whatever.
Reading: Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.
Composing: this little ditty in the shower the other morning:
Night is never long enough, and the morning comes to soon.
I would do much better if my dawn began at noon.
Missing: Africa.
Enjoying: Girls' night with Zooey. Doug is in Chicago at the Gospel Coalition, listening to all our favorite pastors... so Zooey & I are slobbing on the couch, grading essays together... and maybe eating a cupcake or two.
cupcakes looks amazing!! your last picture is perfect...i love the frosting!! i recently made double vanilla raspberry cupcakes for a bridal shower - they were divine!
