Happy March 2008

It is March 1!  March is the best month of the year because it's my birthday month.  I won't be celebrating all month this year since this isn't a major birthday, but it's still good to acknowledge March.

Today I didn't have much planned, I did not have a class to teach this weekend so could be a little lazy.  I did not go to Jazzercise. I've gone three times this week so that was good for me.  I did a little work this morning getting some customer paperwork ready, then made breakfast, did a laundry load, swept the leaves off of the deck and made cupcakes. 

Cupcakes rule!  I used the cookbook Cupcakes! again and again they are wonderful.  I had to go with ingredients that were on hand so I chose Cinnamon Sugar Puff Cupcakes.  It's a yellow batter with freshly grated nutmeg, topped with cinnamon sugar.  Perfect!  You need to go and get this cookbook. 

Last night I put some edging on my quilt and pinned the batting and backing to it.  Today I marked it and now have to quilt it.  I'm going to quilt by hand so it looks less perfect and so I'm not tied to the sewing machine.  I may go quilt soon.  Or nap, you never know.

We're having shrimp tacos and black beans tonight for dinner.  This morning I made my grocery list and menu plan for next week, I'm still attempting to use some of the meat in the freezer so I have some sirloin for next week and ground beef.  The sirloin is a new recipe so if it's good I'll post it.  That's on the plan for tomorrow. 

I think that's it for today.  This is a beautiful day, I have the windows open and the door to the deck.  It's sunny and like spring.  Time to relax and maybe sew.  Maybe on the newly swept deck!
