A sweet touch
We were in a deep, dreamy sleep this morning when Mr. B kissed our forehead and whispered softly into our ear, “See you on Friday. We love you.”
{Even at 4am the man still knows how to melt our heart.} Mr. B is headed to New Mexico for work and won’t be back until the end of this week. We do hate when he leaves because we tend to not sleep well and find cooking for one a bit boring. However, we do manage to get a ton of stuff done when the husband is away. Why is that? Anyways, we are hoping to cross off a majority of our to-do list that specifically deals with reorganization/spring cleaning this week. We think if we stick to our rule of – “if it hasn’t been used or worn in a year, helloooo Goodwill”, we can make some serious progress. Also, can you believe that spring officially starts tomorrow? Whoa bessie. All we can say is bring on the Old Navy flip-flops, polka-dot sun dresses from Anthropologie, and fresh corn from the Farmers Market. Okay, before we completely bore you with our excitement for spring, let us show what our friend Tina made for her daughter’s first birthday party yesterday. Hold on to your sweets seats folks, it’s cupcake madness. Tina is a BAMF when it comes to cooking and baking. In our opinion, she blows Maratha Stewart out of the water. So we were not surprised when we arrived at their home yesterday and saw this culinary explosion of kitchen-made treats set up on the kitchen table. She made cherry, red velvet, strawberry, and oreo cupcakes. We can’t even describe how sinfully savory each one of these bad boys were, but if we had to choose a favorite, we would pick strawberry fo’sure.
If any of you want the recipes let us know. We're pretty sure we can try and bribe Tina. Does anyone have a $20 we can borrow? Since this weekend was bananas, we figured the only way to get back on the right track was to hit the pavement. We stopped by the park and ran five miles at a pretty descent pace. This may sound dumb, but sometimes we forget that we are running the Chicago Marathon in October. Clearly we need to get our tookus in order because training starts in June and we've been slacking BIG time in terms of speed work. Does anyone have any good tips on how to speed up your pace without dying?! Tonights dinner was all about detox. Salmon, check. Asparagus, check
Dandelion tea, check, check.
We can feel the St. Paddy’s bloat drifting away. Ahhhhh…… Now, it’s list time. See ya!
