Day 7 - Sweet, Sweet Saturday

Oh Saturdays, how I adore the ease with which you come and go; the glory that is not having to do anything; how you encourage and allow me to relax and breathe...

Except for today, that is.

This has been a bittersweet Saturday for me. While I didn't appreciate the 70 degree weather, considering it's the freaking first week of January, it ended up growing on me. I spent the majority of my morning packing for the upcoming semester, my last, at school. This has been my last full day at home on Christmas/Winter break. Between packing, working on that blasted paper, and trying to spend some final quality time with my family, it's been a rather smooth day. I even ended up in a lovely IM conversation with my best friend, Liz. Oh how that child always brings a smile to my face and shines a radiant beacon of light into my day! I absolutely adore that girl.

Then to top it all off, I raided our pantry and ended up scrounging up just enough stuff to whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies*. A sweet topping to a lovely day.

*They aren't completely 'chocolate chip' cookies...I had to mix together whatever was left of a bag of regular chocolate chips with whatever was left of a bag of peanut butter chocolate chips. They were also Bisquick cookies...which were more cake-like that I normally prefer my cookies to be. But hey, these cookies weren't bad for a spur-of-the-moment cookie fix!
