having a proud moment.

i'm going to savor this moment.

yes, i know i haven't updated this blog in over a year. lots going on and i can become notoriously bag at blogging. i have ambitions and often so little time.

and, like all knowledge that isn't applied on the daily, i file it away in a bottomless drawer in the back of my mind - good luck retrieving it on a day, oh, say more than a year later, when i actually want to use it.

so, is my blog visual perfection?

hardly. BUT...this is a start.

some quick updates and then more later when i've done more blog construction.

listening: to random 80's music on my iTunes. very, VERY into my 80's at the moment.

baked: butterscotch + chocolate chip cookies with a smack of coconut. new recipe. not sure if i'm entirely pleased with the results. for the record, using crisco in a cookie recipe has never worked well for me. have no idea why. so, mine did not turn out pretty + chewy + delightfully flat-looking as the picture in the link. they were more like, browned on the outside, light-colored-to-well-done on the inside. i couldn't bring myself to photograph them. would like to test it again, with some tweaks, at another time. also made this. haven't tried it yet. looks fabulous. very excited. i may be moved to photograph it tomorrow and post about it later.

weekend plans: i may be shaking my fist at mother nature tomorrow as we're supposed to get a wintry mix (i would take snow over a mix. a mix just involves more of a colossal mess that isn't remotely pretty to look at.) i have a birthday party to take my son to in the morning. questionable attendance given the weather forecast, but we'll see...

would also like to do more work on my project life. i'm excited to post pictures of my album as i do more.

wishing: i had more time right now to tinker around with my blog tonight.

=)
