Baking: My Outlet

Work has been busy lately. I've been working l...o...n...g...e...r hours & it Wears. Me. Out. At the beginning of the week I told myself "Self, no matter how tired you get, YOU are making cookies for co-workers/home teachers, decorating Easter Sugar Cookies and Cupcakes with Mom, & dying Easter Eggs to be used later in making Deviled Eggs!"
I've done it! My legs want to fall off, my feet are throbbing, & my hands are tired from squeezing piping bags, but I've done it.

I've even managed to squeeze some other super fun stuff into my week as well. On the night I made Ricotta Sugar Cookies for co-workers/home teachers we also watched The Princess & the Frog

Very cute & very amusing. (Like I always say, any movie is funny/better when you watch it with Jordan because he notices little things that really are funny, but you are too lame to notice yourself. Am I right everyone or am I right?)
The following night I got to dye eggs [thanks to my mother for purchasing the eggs + dye] so I could live my childhood again for an evening. It IS as fun as I remember.

Bethany called Saturday morning & invited Jordan & I to see How To Train Your Dragon in 3D. It was awesome! Very clever & entertaining.

After the movie, I headed to my parents' to decorate baked goods for the rest of the day. My kind of day right there. I should bake all day every day. It makes me happy. Who wouldn't be happy being around cupcakes all day?

And Sugar Cookies?

I love the little Sheepies.

Yep, I decorated ALL of these & enjoyed every minute of it.

Baking is my new escape after several long weeks of work. I always enjoy the [delectable] results & the accomplishment I feel when I've completed a job well done. Now all that is left to polish off my weekend is to make some more cupcakes & of course create some delicious deviled eggs out of my Dyed Easter Eggs before it's back to work on Monday. Bytheway, Happy Easter everyone.
