Yes, Back in Black, like the
AC/DC song, which I request on the jukebox at the
District every time my friends and I need to get out and drink off our issues. Some people hugs things out, we drink things out. At any rate, so I was not so thrilled with how my blog was looking, so I decided to change it up a bit. I took a small vacation from the world after school let out for the summer, been doing lots of yoga and pilates, and I feel rejuvenated and relaxed now. I even decided to make myself my own bag for my yoga mat.
I used an
Amy Butler pattern. I love her patterns because they are easy to follow and don't take too long to make.
Aside from being back in the blogging world, the summer rains are back in Tucson. I enjoy the water, because it means I don't have to water the yard everyday, BUT it also means humidity, which causes my hair to look like it got stuck in the wrong end of the blow dryer, and that just isn't pretty. There are also critters that come out to play. I decided to spend this weekend at my parents house and it was critter central!! First, there was a large toad in the pool with his toad girlfriend on his back.
Then, the tarantula. I found it odd that parents kept referring to the spider as "her". Very strange gender assignment, I thought.
I finished off the weekend by making some pistachio chocolate chip cookies. I have been meaning to make some pistachio cupckaes off the cupcake blog, but couldn't find the ingredients to finish off the frosting, so I used a recipe from the
pistachio paste manufacturer's.
The clouds just settled in again, so I am off to curl up with a good book and enjoy the rest of my Sunday before my Monday that has been chock full of meetings for school. At least Tuesday will be a light day.
xoxo-K
