spring dreams come true

A picture story of why I haven't posted any outfits recently:

I wrote my first federal grant (with my co-workers). Have you ever written a federal grant? With a collaboration? It's a lot of work. A lot lot lot of work in very little time. There was a well deserved celebratory lunch out (Vietnamese soup & spring rolls) followed by cookies.

I accidentally made a whole pan of brownies, when I meant to make half a pan. 

So I had to spend a lot of time eating brownies:-)

Recipe (my mom's brownies are sooo good).

First bike ride of the spring today, and it was still light out at the end of the ride.

Gap: Slim Crop Pants

I started making a spring/summer wishlist and thinking about what I want to buy before my trip to Spain. Trip to Spain where it will be warm and lovely and my parents and I will finally see my sister (who's been abroad all semester). Daydreaming about the trip has been taking a lot of time.
