Happy Sunday friends! I had a very productive weekend and successfully moved out of my apartment. I miss it already. It's time to move on though. I am just so excited and nervous to see what comes next. Hopefully something good!
Since my final papers are due in a few days and final exams start this week, I have done my best to take necessary study breaks whenever possible. Earlier this week, I grabbed some coffee from my favorite restaurant in Dallas, Oddfellows. It's nice to get out of the house and away from the books for a little while. If I don't...the shadows on the wall become a little too interesting and cabin fever ensues. I've been going on long walks and jogs around the neighborhood to stretch my legs and refocus. Also, one afternoon this week I started on the Mollie Makes crochet flower, but didn't get very far. Hopefully, I can work on it a little bit at a time as I make my way through this week.
This afternoon, I decided to take a break from my paper and help my mom bake a blackberry crumb cake for a dinner she and my dad are going to this week. Hopefully I can steal a piece before they take it to their friends. ;) I always break for baking. Haha. I will share our beautiful-baked-blackberry goodness with you tomorrow!
P.S. - Thanks so much for all of the entries on the Dowdy Studio giveaway! Congratulations on winning Amanda! I will contact you about the details soon!
P.P.S - Two weeks until graduation. Oh my.
goregous pics! Yay for change. Embrace it!
ReplyDeleteYou need a bumper sticker that says, "I break for baking." haha! :) Good luck w/finals and the end-of-the-year craziness.
ReplyDeletei concurr. "i break for baking" would be the best bumper sticker.!
DeleteOh my gosh. I need that bumper sticker! Haha. So good. ;)
DeleteLovely pictures--and well done for having such a healthy work attitude! I'm also in the middle of finals (hand-in 2 weeks) and I need to get my act together. And berries are brain-food!
ReplyDeleteI baked your Earl grey chocolate cake yesterday (used rooibos tea instead) and my boys loved it. 8 yr old said he "wished everything was made of this chocolate cake". FIL took seconds even after being told it contained 3 eggs (he was allergic as a 3 yr old).
ReplyDeleteSo it will go into the permanent recipe book then :-)
Good luck with the finals! Do do as I - complained bitterly in the elevator when my final final final oral exam was postponed until after lunch...only to realise that my examiner's son was standing next to me...
Best of luck in your final exams - I'm sure you'll do amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing what that floral brooch will look like!

It sounds like you're doing great. It always takes me a little while to settle in after a move, especially if I'm moving back home with parents. It's nice to have such supportive family though, isn't it? I hope your last few classes treat you well and no one springs a surprise assignment in there that you weren't expecting... take lots of pictures (or have family do it) at graduation because it's going to be a blur and you'll want to look back at it later and absorb it all. Good work getting your education! I look forward to hearing about your next adventure. :)
ReplyDeleteLots of luck in your finals, you can do it!!! And also I have one off-topic question - how can you manage read all these books you posted there? Now I must read lot of it and I have only three week so any advice would help. Realy thanks and again good luck :)
