From my (very brief) hike to the lake yesterday after therapy.


I found a temporary way around my login issues with flickr/yahoo...was so excited to get into my flickr account from my computer...but uploading pictures isn't working out all that great.

My oldest ordered her wedding dress...but she hasn't quite made up her mind about what the bridesmaids are wearing. I tried out some different cupcakes over Thanksgiving; she did not like them at all. I was looking for maple cupcakes, cause I have a lot of maple syrup...well, googling maple cupcakes mostly resulted in bacon cupcakes. What I ended up making were some maple ones, some maple ones with bacon, and some dark chocolate ones with bacon. Those last ones were the best. I'm planning on trying that recipe without the bacon and adding mint.

I think the only way I'm going to have any real uninterrupted alone time is to turn off both phones. I hate to do that because what if there's an emergency? But some people just don't understand that when I say I'm looking forward to having a completely peaceful, quiet afternoon means don't call! I need the alone time for just me, and I need it so I can write. Feeling stifled without it. (And just a little clausterphobic.)
