Will and Amy

Today I'm baking...

...chocolate cupcakes with a peanut butter cookie dough center, covered in dark chocolate ganache.
...sopapilla cheesecake minis (in a cupcake tin).

It's game night with two other couples, and I'm so looking forward to it!  Last time we had game night, Will was out of town, so I did not have a partner...it's so much more fun when he's able to come.  Here's hoping we dominate (he doesn't like to lose)!  ;-)

I'm crafting...

...key chains.
...coffee cozies.
...baby tag blankets.
...letters to spell Parker.

Good thing there is football on today - my husband won't even miss me.  Hopefully he'll be okay with making his own lunch (he already made his own breakfast).  It's rainy and cold and absolutely perfect for hunkering down with fabric, thread, my sewing machine, and a fresh cup of coffee.

Well, Christmas is all put away, and life is kicking back into full gear after a fantastic break. Now it's time to buckle down and edit my National Board entries (well, three of them - I still have one left to do) and start preparing for the tests in June. It's such a great process, but it is hard. It's time consuming, and I'd rather be working on sewing/knitting/craft/cooking projects in my spare time. But it's not going to last forever, and I'm ready to get a few of my entries wrapped up and ready to go. The entries are due on March 31st. Deadlines loom, but they sure do help me keep on track! If you need me, I'll be here, working on boards, when I'm not, well, working.

Hello, 2010. I think I'll like you a whole lot better come summer.
