Some people have goddaughters or godsons, as of today, my bff presented me a godcar. I must say, she’s beautiful.

Ps. I also became an aunt to twin preemies a few weeks ago. I have yet to seem ‘em. I’ll have to take my godcar for a visit. Ha!

its been an insane week to say the least.  its still going to be a busy weekend but at least it doesn’t involve work.

sometimes when something is overly hyped about, you can’t help but be disappointed or just “ok” with it in the end.

i finally got to try one these cupcakes that people and the media keeps talking about in town. Not sure what i was expecting, but it didn’t rock my world nor did it blow my mind. maybe because i don’t have a sweet tooth. either way, it was a good cupcake but it wasn’t any different from any other good cupcakes i’ve had in the past. so, for now i’m good with the hyped cupcakes.

i know tulips and daffodils are all out on full bloom but i’m always happy to see these two variety of spring flowers come into bloom.

in other news: Reconnected with my DSLR, which is the result of the fine photo you see above. I forget that you just can’t do certain things on a P&S.

 

who knew making matzo ball & chicken soup was so easy. I saw this article, which lead me to my concoction:


i made it not because of the passover holiday but it seemed like the most comforting meal i need for being under the weather at the moment.

Can't wait!
