Early close out this month since it’s the end of the quarter - hence the quiet here. Today is “push the button” day, but that won’t happen until something this afternoon.

We had delicious BBQ pulled pork from the new crockpot last night - on Beau’s handmade hamburger buns. Seriously - make your own buns. So much better than store bought.

Our babysitter skipped crew practice yesterday because of her homework load this week. So we benefitted by that since she arrived earlier than normal. Woo! It was nice to arrive at small group on time and to be able to enjoy the hang out time before we started our study. Our hostess made a wonderful chocolate cake for my birthday - from scratch and super chocolatey. Her birthday is in early April and I plan to return the favor. She wants a chocolate cake with caramel frosting so I’m on the hunt for a good recipe.

Beau is taking me to the movies tonight for my birthday. Marmie and Pop are watching Jesse, but that will be easy, since he goes to bed at 8pm. We’re going to see Vantage Point. Review tomorrow.

I finished both books in the At Bat section of the sidebar this week. Lost Light by Michael Connelly ended with a surprise that had me tearing up like a sentimental fool 4 stars out of 5. Blood Brothers by Nora Roberts is typical of her supernatural pulp. I’m sure I’ll read the other two to come for the trilogy, but only for closure. 3 stars out of 5.

I think I have another bride on the hook for her jewelry - a custom order. She’s been sending me messages via Etsy‘s internal mail and sounds like she’s ready to buy. That’s exciting. Meanwhile, Mom has opened her tea shop on Etsy as well.

And now I have to get back to work!
