Random Thoughts

I know, I know, I've been  terrible.  I'm telling you school has been keeping this girl busy.  BUT, while I finally finished my research paper (more or less) I thought I'd write a little something for my lovely readers.

First off, below is a picture of some delicious Quinoa Chili I made last night.  Kate, Nate's sis-in-law, passed on the recipe and it was delicious.  Thanks Kate!  Keep those recipes comin' :) (that really goes for anyone, seeing as how I just looooove me some cooking).

Okay secondly, once again I have to talk about the apple of my eye, Sofia.  So Sunday morning, the last thing I wanted to do was wake up and go straight to work.  I was feeling sluggish getting ready and stressed out thinking about my research paper.  Then, however, I got a picture sent to me from my dad while my family was all at the swap meet together..

I mean, how does that picture not turn your attitude around?

Finally yesterday, I was working on my paper all day...  I think I was about to start pulling my hair out when I decided to take a break and go through my usual blog circuit.  My sis has set up a Shutterfly for Sofia and to my delight there were some new pics on there.  This one, yet again, made me as happy as a lark.  

That's it for today. I'll try not to forget about you guys :)
