Cinco de Twosday?

Published on May 5, 2015 By Emily. Updated on July 21, 2016

So, it’s Twosday, but it’s also Cinco de Mayo, so we’re going with 5 items per list today!

Reasons I haven’t been posting lately
1.  It’s the end of my second to last semester of grad school
2.  It’s also teacher evaluation time
3.  I’m working my full time and my summer job at the same time
4.  If the sun is out, I want to be out too
5.  Honestly, I’m not sure, but my afternoons and evenings have been way too full

Other, more fun, things I’ve been doing with my time
1. Playing Mice and Mystics with Brian
2. Running my first 5k of the season
3. Enjoying 70 degree+ weather and sunshine with lots of walks
4. Seeing Avengers: The Age of Ultron in theaters
5. Attending my sister’s baby shower!

Things, along with blogging, that I’ve done an excellent job of procrastinating
1. Putting away clean clothes
2. Trying new recipes
3. Finalizing summer plans
4. Cleaning the bathroom
5. Replying to emails

Things currently in my “to read” pile
1. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (I’m about halfway through this and it’s so good!)
2. The Martian by Andy Weir
3. Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God’s Work by Timothy Keller
4. Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking (I received this for Christmas, but I still haven’t made use of it and I need to read through all the introductory material.
5. So many blog posts.  It’s funny, I used to refuse to go to bed with unread items in my Reader (and I read a lot more blogs then!), but now I go days without getting the chance to read.  I’m mostly okay with that, but I’d like to do a little more blog reading.

Foods on my “to make” list
1. ice cream
2. granola
3. crackers
4. hummus
5. new cocktails

Warm weather thoughts I have had this week
1. I think it’s getting to be time to make ice cream
2. Maybe this summer I’ll sew a skirt
3. Yay for planting herbs!
4. I want another pair of Crocs , because I wear these all the time
5. Less than a month until CSA pick ups resume!

Things everyone seems to be talking about lately
1. Moving
2. Having babies
3. Standardized testing
4. Food labeling
5. The magic of tidying up

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
