Almost done)

A and A's baby is due on Friday. Seniors are done with finals on Friday. My grad school is over on Thursday night at 10 (practically Friday) I have 2 work happy hours to go to on Friday. And the last opera of the season, Madame Butterfly, is on Friday at 8:00. I fear writing my list of things I have to do again, last springs was quite a bit longer. But the main thing I should put on my list is that I have been procrastinating. I did make bread and popovers. I"m planning a blueberry coffeecake for tomorrow, and perhaps blueberry muffins to take to work friends on Monday. Have to finish two major grad school finals. Decided today was not the day for that and have spent today watching movies (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Bottle Rockets) and reading a bird book to identify the owl that wakes me up each morning. Well, it is not an owl, it is a Mourning Dove. Oops. And I always thought it was a morning dove, not mourning dove, but they both fit for my mourning mornings of late.
Spent the afternoon with A getting pre baby pedicures and shopping for last minute stuff. She left school on maternity leave yesterday. I got a little sad about babies and husbands perhaps a synonym in my world. Baby husbands. Invisible baby husbands.

You do such great work: getting pedicures and baking your own carbs. I hope you know that the way you write about things is so beautiful. I'm sorry that today was hard. Thanks for saying the hard stuff.

I haven't made one carb but have eaten plenty. You amaze me!
