Amazing what a couple day's rest will do

I had a weekend off, and I didn't go anywhere. It was wonderful.  I realize that most people want to spend their weekend's getting things done, but I have been longing for relaxing and being at my house for a day off.  I finally got that wish this past weekend.  I was off for 3 days and 2 of them I didn't even leave the house, and the 3rd, I left only for church. 

 I was lazy for a day and a half, but then yesterday after a couple days of wonderful rest, I got a ton accomplished!!! I was so excited to get things accomplished.  I have a Journal article that has been on my list of to-do's for ages, and it's made it to the top, and I'm rip-raring to go at it.  I have a good start on it, and I hope to get it back to my advisor in the upcoming week or two.  I think that is very possible. 

  I also got some sewing done, and lots of cleaning and even some baking for fun! That was the accomplishments of work.  My accomplishments of relaxing include cleaning off 10-15 hours of DVR'd shows.  Wonderful!!!!

  I still have much to do, but at least I'm getting things done at a good rate! Not much will be accomplished Wed and Thurs, but I will try! Friday I look forward to you!!!

I hope you are all able to relax and enjoy and accomplish things as I have!

Love!

What a Valentine's Day

Well it has been a very productive Valentine's day! I love 3 days off in a row!!! Time for relaxing and time for accomplishing things.  I decided I couldn't go the holiday without some cookies...so I baked up a recipe of sugar cookies and some frosting.  I don't have my mom's talent to decorate and make conversation hearts, but I can slop some pretty colored frosting on the cookies.  I'm Corny...yes, but here's a sample of my cookies. 



Love!



Happy Valentine's Day

It's recently ticked over past midnight meaning it is Valentine's day.  Despite not having a significant other to spend the day with...I have always enjoyed this holiday.  I view it as a day to share love with everyone, not just your significant other. 

 One great memory I have regarding Valentine's day is from elementary school.  My mom and I would bake dozens of heart shaped sugar cookies.  My mom, and her amazing talent in decorating, would frost and then write on the hearts as if they were conversation hearts.  Each student in my class got one with their name on it, and I got fun ones at home.  We also use to make different colored dough and put different colored hearts inside of each other.  It was a lot of fun and always wonderful to eat!!! Something I always think about making around Valentine's Day, but just doesn't seem the same with out mom here to decorate them.  Maybe some year. 



A little love from Amy and Matt's wedding this last summer. 

Love to all on this day of Love!
