Blossom

Spring has treated me rather kindly since its arrival last week. Aside from enjoying the splendid weather we've been having lately, my days have consisted mainly of movie watching and filling my belly with seasonal foods like barbecue and cheeseburgers (what's new?), but they've also been mixed with productive things like spring cleaning, getting prepared for our move in May, starting a daily workout routine, and challenging myself with my new cooking endeavors, which included: my very first Quiche Lorraine made from scratch (pie crust and all), tomato, mozzarella, and basil bruschetta, and Dr. Pepper pork carnitas that Steven and I have eaten for lunch and dinner 3 days in a row. And, in between watching the Netflix DVDs that get sent to our loft every other day and eBay bidding/winning my tax refund away, I'm trying to get back into reading-- I mean, don't get me wrong, I have always loved reading; it's just everything else is competing for my attention these days. So, I'm setting some goals in hopes to increase my attention span and help myself become more self-sufficient. My springtime goals are simple: read at least one book a week and start crafting again. Too bad I only remember how to make pot holders.



































I'll leave you with the exquisite harmonies and syrupy, blended voices of the Lennon Sisters, who I cannot stop listening to on repeat. I haven't heard a rendition of "Unchained Melody" that I didn't like, but this version is by far my favorite!
