weekend notes #27

How quickly the weekend flew by!

The pretty girl pictured first is currently up for adoption at the animal shelter. Her name is Firefly, which suits her perfectly as she's tiny and bright-eyed. She's so sweet and friendly that I can't believe someone hasn't taken her home yet.

I read Mockingjay into the wee hours of Saturday morning but stopped halfway through because it's so intense. I'll definitely finish, but in the meantime I'm taking a breather, reading a beloved and comforting favorite novel by Lisa Kleypas.

My ballet teacher has received a wonderful professional opportunity that, sadly, requires she give up our Saturday class (happily, she'll still be teaching us on Tuesday evenings). This past Saturday, Celeste and I threw a little surprise party for her after class. Celeste brought a bottle of red wine, and I baked a devil's food cake with sour cream chocolate frosting. I forgot to snap a photo until I was on my way to class, so you see it here in the box I used to transport it.

Work will be busy over the next few weeks, so I'll be posting only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until things quiet down. I'll miss writing here and will be back full-time as soon as I can!
