Happy Pi Day!

Yay for pi!  I may attempt to make a pie today.  Actually I'm going to try and do the cinnamon rolls again.  We'll hopefully make cinnamon rolls and not muffins this time.  Though I'm not entirely sure how upset I'd be with the muffins.

Well, we've got a week of school left before spring break.  Not much is new really.

We've gone on a spring cleaning extravaganza this weekend as it is finally warm enough to be called spring here.  We've been above freezing for over a week now!

Not really a lot is up with us.  I went to the doc on Friday and she said that I didn't have the plague, it was probably just allergies.  I asked her, "to what?" and she replied, "everything."  Apparently that was the report the allergist sent her -- that I was an allergic barge.  We will hopefully be starting allergy shots soon to see if that will help.  Maybe with the shots my immune system will stand a fighting chance and stop attacking anything and everything.

The fine art of spreading goo out on dough. 

The rolled up cinnamon rolls.  I need to make them tighter next time.  The goo was yummy though. :)

In like a lion

Well, March has started off with a bang.  We've had warmer weather here and it might be spring sometime soon.  This doesn't mean we won't be getting any more snow -- just not snow that will stick or pile up much.  We are forcasted to be in the 40s all of next week.  There may even be a night or two thrown in there that we don't freeze.  If we don't freeze, it will be the first night since November that we've stayed above freezing.  Winter seems to never have come this year -- the east and northeast got all of our snow.  It didn't even get super super cold -- most of the winter we were between 0 and 20.  I guess we'll count our blessings. 

This week at school has been interesting.  I had an exam on Tuesday and a quiz yesterday.  The exam went well -- I managed to get above average so that is good.  I'm also starting to apply for positions whenever I can find something.  I'm really willing to do just about whatever as long as I can use my masters of chem. 

Chris has been great this week as I returned from Tulsa with some nasty cold.  I've felt under the weather all week and haven't gotten to run.  I tried on Tuesday but it wiped me out thoroughly.  Now it is all sunny and warm out (we actually have hit 40 today) and I want to go for a run, but will stay in because I don't want to back track on this road to recovery.  There is always tomorrow. 

Not a lot has happened this week except that we are finally able to see the sun again.  Our days get significantly longer this time of year.  At 630 this morning the sun was up already!  It will be depressing again here in a week or so when daylight savings time starts, but that means summer is on the way.

Maegan's BDay Blitz

For the last weekend of February I went to Tulsa for a quick visit.  I mainly cooked/baked and hung out with family.  These are some of the better photos I was able to take throughout the weekend.  Most of them are of my neice, Nola Jane.  She's the baby and new.  It was also good to see everyone and be able to talk with everyone.  We even managed to get a family picture (minus Chris) because one of Maegan's friends volunteered to take it.  I think she did well, even if Maegan wanted to make a funny face at the camera.  It was the best of a few different shots taken.  Katie was also in town for a baby shower so it was fun to see the family I typically see at Christmas, especially because of our wicked weather last Christmas meant I didn't get to see them.  I also managed to get a shot of my brother's cooking.  I figured it was one for the books since they don't do that often, and definitely don't cook together in the same kitchen often.
