I was looking at my calendar the other day and noticed that Daylight savings time begins again one week from Sunday! I can't believe that it's basically spring time. I'm a little disappointed actually, I really like winter. The nice thing about spring though: BASEBALL. Can't wait for baseball season to begin again ( Read more... ) -
Timing is Everything.
It is a scary thought that a city I was in exactly one year ago was just hit about four hours ago by a very big earthquake.
The news report I read: www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/21/AR2011022104255.html mentions buildings that I not only saw but was in, such as the cathedral.
How absolutely awful for Christchurch, that ( Read more... ) -
Perpetual To-Do List finally gets some items crossed off
After almost two years of sitting rolled up collecting dust on my dresser I finally went to go and get my diploma framed so that it won't keep sitting around collecting dust ( Read more... ) -

Outside the window the snowflakes fall soft and white
Finally after a entire day of dismal gray skies and lots of rain, two claps of thunder and two bursts of lightening heralded the snow. It is falling steadily and beautifully. I don't expect that it will actually stick, but for now, it is a pretty sight out the window. -
Misplaced possesions-or a search for the "safe place"
I know that the last time I saw a cd case(with the cds inside) was on the little table I keep by my bed in my room at my parents' house. I remember putting it "somewhere safe" one day when anticipating that the room would be cleaned while I was away.
Now I can't remember where that "somewhere safe" was. I thought it was with my letter writing ( Read more... ) -
Leftovers!
There are Lots of leftover mashed potatoes from lunch today, so I was thinking, what would be a good way to make use of them? It occurred to me: pot pie/shepherd's pie(I don't know the difference). I think someone gave me a recipe before for a vegetarian shepherd's pie but I lost it, soooo...I am open to recipe ideas other than shepherd's pie. What ( Read more... ) -
Snow envy
I am incredibly jealous of the Northeast where they are under a blizzard watch(and perhaps it already started snowing up there?) and down here we've got a prediction of 1-3 inches at best. Someone remind me, why did I come back to the D.C. area and not just stay in Boston? -
Breeeeeead
Wednesday night I made some wheat/pumpkin bread but either must no't have had the oven hot enough(which is why I prefer baking bread on the grill, it gets VERY hot and contains the heat--too bad there's snow impeding the path to the bbq...) because the bread came out doughy and uncooked in the center. So, it is a bread baking two days: got up at ( Read more... ) -

I suddenly have a strong want to learn how to make croissants. Especially ones filled with chocolate.
