Yeah - this was my Tuesday evening. Hand made and delicious. Spinach, feta and sun dried tomatoes. You can read more about it on the 1700milesofcooking.wordpress.com blog

Painting, cooking, planting, THIS is relaxation people

I have been busy this weekend - not busy like work, blah, blah busy. I planted my basil which is already about double in size and has me dreaming of pesto in the near future. I have cooked lots of good meals and have another one in the works tonight. I am making crab cakes and zucchini cakes - YUM; also some bread with boursin spread and the wine is chilling as I type. My big project for the weekend was painting my bedroom. The color - according to Behr - is grape leaves. I don't know about that, but its a nice tranquil color so it should help me make it through the remaining days of school.

The week is almost done and I managed to finally squeeze in a little fun going to an exhibition game between the Sand Gnats and the SCAD Bees - of course the best part of the game was the mascots going at it; still, its baseball and that means spring so it was great. It also happened to be a full moon and there was an awesome sunset, so that was a nice bonus. On top of that - I had jury duty this week and did not have to serve even though its the lowest number I or any of my friends had ever had, I managed to escape my civic duty this time around.

Friday will be a bit of a long day teaching, but I should be able to enjoy a few hours of perfect Savannah spring weather before I have to get cleaned up for Good Friday services.

Here's to all of you also having a great weekend!

Arts and Crafts

Just so you know; its not all work and no play around here: I did accomplish one fun task this weekend. I made these lamps - they are hanging candle holders which I converted to electric lamps. I put river rock in the bottom and lined the inside with parchment paper to which I glued sea grass...a pair of these hang beside a mirror over the couch :)



I am not quite finished with lectures, but getting there and this should be the last one I have to do from start to finish for the rest of the quarter. Off now to dinner at the folks house - they have been experimenting with new recipes in their retirement so its sure to be a very yummy dinner!

Wow - okay - so its April already??

I laughingly went through my photos and there was a nice sized folder for February Fun and an even larger one for March Fun...so, what about April? Good question. I have not taken any pictures this month. Since returning from spring break, my life has been packed just about every hour of the day. I don't know that its necessarily a bad thing, but it is for sure, a tiring thing. On top of my normally busy week of teaching, I also have jury duty next week because apparently the universe thinks I need one more thing to do - also this is holy week and if you're a singer - this means more church services - so...April fun is hiding well. I am not called for jury duty tomorrow so it will mean my "normal" day of teaching from 8am - 7:15 pm - whee! So I sit here on this Sunday of gathering clouds, writing lectures for class next week and wondering how I will make up the day(s) I end up missing if called to serve on a jury.

Making all of this stress seem doable is the promise of a new day - the opening of baseball starts tonight with a Braves v. Phillies match-up and our local single A team, the Sand Gnats, will be underway soon as well so I might just make it to summer after all and hopefully I can find some fun along the way.

Cheers!
