I whipped these up real quick this evening to use the rest of the Cheese Danish filling from a few days ago. No sense letting it go to waste! As you can see it's a chocolate cupcake, but not overly sweet with a sweet creamy cheese filling. Little Mac offered to be the 'plate' in case you are wondering what that thing is underneath the wrapper.
Today I learned how to do two new things at the office today. I won't bore anyone with the details but I was excited to get to do something new. I think since it's basically the 'family' business I'm enjoying helping out whereas it wouldn't be so meaningful if it was for some faceless boss. Plus, I get to have lunch with my husband AND my best friend! What more can one ask for? Well--maybe a non-wireless mouse might be nice. ;) But I am getting used to it. Oh--and I got a package delivered that was addressed to me. Granted, it was the boring old forms I had ordered last week but it was almost--not quite!--as much fun as receiving a package at home.
Maia had a great dance class today. She came home very excited and wouldn't stop trying to do various things (splits, leg raises, etc.) that they had been working on in class. One of the girls can do all of the things and I could see Maia's determination to catch up. I don't think it will be long before she can too--I got the privilege of watching each and every practice move. Rick and Tristyn were spared---um, I mean in the other room!
Tristyn and I spent our time at Crazy Mocha. He mostly did his homework and drew pictures but he let me help him out with the horseshoe crab picture he was drawing from his 'Learn to draw' book. Hot chocolate and a mocha once again graced our table which unfortunately was a little too close to an open door. I was freezing and actually put on Tristyn's zip up sweatshirt. Except for the length of the sleeves being a little too short (they were like 3/4 length sleeves on me) it fit pretty well. Disturbing.
The last couple of dance classes I've talked a bit with the father of one of the girls a little bit. Turns out he writes too and also has a blog. He shared the link to his blog with me and I spent some time perusing it earlier this evening. A poem of his had a line in particular that I really, really liked of the 'I-now- have-it-stuck-in-my-head' variety:
"Like words were never necessary, but delicious all the same."
Words have such a strong power over me. Single words. Paired Words. A beautiful string of words.
I'm going to be letting that line tumble over my tongue for at least a couple of days. Thank you Brett~
