Off to a Lovely Start

For those of you that are still in school, YOU CAN DO IT! Every time I see a post about library living quarters or how many finals you have left, I say a little prayer!

On my end, I'm trying to squeeze as much in as I can already!

Every year, my church has a cake auction which raises money for high school and middle school students, and this basically means that it gives senior citizens the chance to outbid each other. Love it! Of course, it's not all seniors - some lovely parents are sprinkled in there, but the old folks just rock it. I believe the highest bid was over $300 because they go crazy for anything with chocolate in it. Michael made a 6 layer Ger-MAN chocolate cake that got around $150, and he made it all on his own. Granted, he almost forgot to put eggs in it and it nearly fell over half a dozen times, but, like a true man, it weathered the storms and made it to the auction table. (Insert manly victory yell here).

Here's the lovely beaut (please say this with a Scottish accent, which I've been fond of lately):

I also made a new friend! I didn't get his name (or his number), but we had a splendid time together.
I call him Costco Bear.

I've also been doing some reading (I have a goal of 15 books by the end of the summer!), so Jane Austen and I have been pals.

AND LASTLY, the favorite parts of my day lately, I've brought out my daily inner-child by Drawing Something (so proud of my lil' elephant!) and finishing the day off with Pocahontas.

I'd say I'm off to a lovely start.
Ciao!
