humpday happy list.
i feel like you know what i'm about to say. work has been a struggle this week. yesterday my boss stopped by my desk, gave me a bag of cheese popcorn and said, "normally i don't condone stress eating, but i feel like you need this with how things are going for you lately." so there's that. but we are halfway to the weekend and we get to see this guy on friday and celebrate birthdays with my family on saturday, and i'm feeling itchy to do some baking. this weekend could get really productive.1) humpday pretty dress: green sequins.i have a thing for green dresses. and this dress is pretty amazing. i don't really go out to places or to events that would ever require me to wear something like this, but gosh darn it if i don't want to have it in my closet so i can look at it all the time!
2) humpday breakfast: avocado on toast.now this particular recipe from simple provisions looks amazing. i mean, adding goat cheese and lime? brilliant. i like mine on wheat toast, buttered, with the salted/mashed up avocado going on next, and then finishing it with some goat cheese. it's the best way to start your day. is it bad that i've had this three days running? please do not answer that.
3) humpday goal: finish our christmas stockings.i probably shouldn't be admitting this out loud, least of all in a public forum that people read, but who ever said i knew when to keep my mouth shut? (the answer to that is no one. i talk too much.) i have not finished the christmas stockings i started for Mister Man and i. they were meant to be a christmas surprise for him. now they may very well end up being an easter surprise. he's starting to give me ultimatums on when the sewing machine is getting put away, so the goal is to finish these by valentine's day. you guys should do an over/under on how close i get to meeting that goal.
4) humpday treat: strawberry chocolate chip cookies.i was browsing baked goods on pinterest the other day with the intention of finding something i could actually make (sidenote: one of the most common search terms that brings people to this here blog is "pinterest fail". i feel like this does not bode well for any type of foray into a craft blog). i love anything strawberry chocolate flavored, so when i saw these i said, "i don't care how complicated these are, i will be making these in february!" well, turns out that they are made with cake mix, how much of a win is that?
5) humpday happy birthday: my lovely little sisters, beedge and mugsy.two of my beautiful sisters turned 22 today. if you have bad eyesight and can't tell from that photo, they're identical twins. they also happen to be two of the most thoughtful, kindhearted and fun people i know. as we've all gotten older, they have become two of my closest friends, and i can't imagine the last 22 years without them. the world would be a quieter and much more boring place if these two weren't in it, so i think we should all give thanks that they were born 2 minutes apart 22 years ago and send them some birthday love! i love you two so much!
