Things are…

…going slow at work today despite my frantic search for leads, cleaning up spreadsheets and calendars, and other stuff. So I just wanted to share this that I found while looking through leads:

This cake would probably be so weird tasting because of all the dye, but it’d be cool to try this with fruit or natural dyes! I’m thinking… weekend project. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!

Oh, and one more cool thing for the road – I want to be invited to this:

woooo.

we’re on the forgotten coast, having the most chill, laid back, tons of fun spring break i’ve had in a while. I’m sunburnt, tan and on the beach and that’s what life is supposed to be about on spring break! Granted, it’s not a ton different than Edisto, Garden City or Ocean Isle but i’m glad we came here. the car ride was fun, being somewhere else is nice… i just wish carmen was here!

so far we’ve had the perfect amount of food…. that’s working out nicely. we have beach toys and internet. we have tons of games and the heated pool and hot tub were good choices. It’s really worked out for us!

i’ve been so busy, its nice to have this break.

beautiful saturday afternoons remind me of

listening to mat kearney
driving though the national forests in the mountains
beautiful teal water lakes
barbeque sandwiches
planting flowers
the botanical garden
having picnics
spring
car trips
map-reading

vday.

i had an amazing valentines day! i woke up to chad opening my door and telling me to stay in bed–a lovely breakfast in bed! (He can cook a good breakfast, too) So we ate together, took a nice long nap after some Spongebob and got up for a while.

We were supposed to have a picnic but it looked like rain, so we picnicked on the balcony! We laid down a blanket and put a small table out there and had a nice time making fun of the birds in the parking lot–it was cute. He made cuban sandwiches and I made tomato pie the night before, and we had cheese and apples and pomegranate blueberry juice. It was an odd picnic, but very much us.

So then next we watched some food network, that channel is awesome! we were enjoying just chilling out, and because of our nap…well, we missed going to the art museum. I’m excited to go another day, but it was nice spending time alone. So then we both went to get ready and took a nice walk to our dinner destination–Larkin’s on the River! We ate on the patio (it’s enclosed and heated) and it was so nice and inviting, a very warm atmosphere. Our server was amazing and so was the food! Too bad we were so full from lunch that we weren’t able to eat more of it!

Then we came home (Ok, i stopped to do a little shoe shopping, yay) and watched the duggar wedding and jon & kate + 8… to those of you thinking, that is so unromantic, we LOVE watching those shows. Chad loves jon & kate’s little kids.

So anyways. We watched that and enjoyed some truffles and wine (we also had some awesome wine at larkin’s… it was a good wine night i suppose) and had a wonderful time! After the shows, Chad was exhausted already, so I went to take a nice long bubble bath and he fell asleep… oh well. It was a nice ending anyways!

So that was my vday, how was everyone elses?!
