I am really excited about my big baking project that I will finish on Saturday, but more importantly I am excited about why I am doing it…I can’t wait to tell you all about this special occasion. The mint and ginger add such a unique flavor – I don’t even like sugar snap peas, but these I could eat all day. The farmer’s markets are overflowing with amazing produce, and these are so delicious. This time pickled sugar snap peas – I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. So, what did I do this weekend? I made more pickles from Food in Jars. In a different part of the circus, I am working on a big baking project this week, and I am not allowing myself any additional baking until it is done. Fortunately I was able to change the bulb, and all is well that ends well…that is until tonight when she cut her foot on a piece that we missed – but I got that one handled too – and I think we are done. My husband worked on cleaning up the room, while I worked on getting the base of the light bulb out of the light.

That was me last night – it was almost too calm. So last night was like the eye of the hurricane. I thrive on the last-minute push now, it excites me and almost energizes me. ![]() When I was in college, I was never one of those all-nighter type people – I had all my work done before the deadlines, and never crammed at the last-minute. I have to say, I am usually at my best during these times…and I am counting on that to be the case again this week. After hearing what I was thinking about, he agreed that I had a lot going on. Tonight my husband was trying to talk to me, and I was so deeply engrossed in thought, I didn’t even hear him, even though he was less than two feet away. Sometimes my life really does feel like a three-ring-circus, and this is definitely one of those times. I am a little pre-occupied this week, with a lot of different things.
