Notes

:: We celebrated Easter on Saturday and had donuts. That probably doesn't sound like a very big news flash, but we normally have a pretty big Easter celebration and it was hard to admit that we just weren't going to be able to make it happen this year. Easter is the time for yeasted doughs. I always make homemade cinnamon rolls, and maybe a brioche or some monkey bread. We dye eggs and put together baskets. Sometimes I make peeps. By Friday afternoon of last week I was admitting to myself that it just wasn't going to happen. I've been working a lot and my sporadic insomnia has recently decided to go chronic for a while, leaving me hoping desperately for a measly four hours of sleep a night (after night, after night...). Something had to give. And this is perfectly fine, because everyone loves donuts and an entire day of sleeping on Sunday was what I needed most, but that doesn't make it easy to accept.

:: Circe loves donuts but rarely gets a taste. She stuck close to the table the whole morning. Unrelated - she got an intense haircut shortly after these pictures were taken (we were feeling a little bad about how patchy she was looking post surgery, since they shaved a couple large parts of her body).

:: I went to a really lovely bridal shower for one of my high school girlfriends. No more pictures because I was deep in concentration, making the ribbon bouquet. It is serious business.

:: I slept in on Sunday and then treated myself to a drink on the patio in the early evening. When the weather is like this, you really need to be outside.
