Today I woke up and felt a little stiff from yoga the day before so I decided to skip the gym and enjoy some “me time” at home. I baked two dozen red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for the USO's 70th birthday party on Friday.
While my cupcakes were cooling, I started on the homemade lasagna that I was making for dinner tonight. We were having our friend Mike over for a home cooked meal. We first met Mike at the hotel we lived in when we first moved here. He is also a Marine but he is here unaccompanied and he still lives in the hotel after all this time.

The lasagna takes about an hour in the oven so I decided to make some German coffee and catch up via Skype with one of my very best friends, Kristin who lives in Virginia.

Today was so productive, and I feel like I really took advantage of every moment. These are the days I cherish.

It's great that you're spending time doing productive things. I agree with you. It's good to live this way. Your pictures look terrific. They look very professional. That lasagna looks very good. I hope you have a lot of leftovers to enjoy more than 1 day. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I wish we were a closer growing up, now that we are 'grown' we should stay in touch more. I cant believe how great it all looks! Reminds me of the movie about the female cooks... grr.. I cant think of the name. Anyways Keep it up.
