Deals. Recipes. APA book.

I know, I'm not good at this anymore. Anyhow, inspired to write (aka I'm procrastinating). This morning I went through five years worth of pictures because Walgreens is printing 8x10 for free, use the code TRULYFREE, thank you slickdeals. I got to relive lots of good memories from Illinois. Free things is good too. I'm grateful too for recipes that work. I lived with an amazing family for two years while in Illinois and the mom makes the most amazing pumpkin chocolate muffins. So I dug up the recipe yesterday because I can get my hands on canned pumpkins again because we're nearing Thanksgiving and made some. Delicious! And finally, as I am procrastinating on this conference paper, I am still doing a bit of work. I was in a near panic because I couldn't find my APA handbook (I thought perhaps it got lost during the move?), but located it just now-- I'm thankful for you, you silly painful annoying book, because you know the order my authors must go in and where the period versus the comma goes. Okay, maybe I'll post before the new year.

Emails. Food. Friends

The power of three, as my friend T.J. would say. I'm getting back to this blogging thing, so friends can follow along and we can stay friends even though we are physically far away. I'm thankful for emails, from friends, but today I'm especially thankful for an email from one institution to move along my research. I'm thankful for food-- the making of and the consumption process. I've been on a kick of making artisan bread (thanks Cam) and have made these onion herb rolls that I'm a fan of. It's nice that this apartment (as compared to our apartment last summer) stays cool enough to actually turn on the oven. And then friends to share the food with-- that's always a bonus. We are starting to meet some new friends which makes me feel like maybe I can start viewing this place as "home" soon.
