(I am playing catch up after a week that has been a bit exhausting and a couple of weeks of not keeping track of what I’m doing, so I don’t remember anything unique about today.)

I took the day off work to bake 6 pies. I originally planned out the timing for all of them, but once I started, I threw the timing out the window and decided to wing it. And this, ladies and gentleman, is why I’ll never be able to be anything other than a home baker. I literally let my fancies take me wherever they want.

My oldest wanted to hang out with some friends tonight, so he asked if they could come back to the house and play Cards Against Humanity together. I told him it was fine, but his brother had just started a movie in the living room so he needed to let his brother finish the movie. After the movie was finished, the little one and I hung out in my room while the big boys played in the living room. They had a great time together and it was wonderful to hear their laughs through the walls. I know one day the house will be silent because the boys will be out on their own so I’m trying to cherish moments like this.

Since it’s Saturday, I spent some quality time reading my book. I’m really enjoying it, but I just know that as soon as I can sit down and devote time to it, I will devour it. All requests to do anything will be ignored and I will fall into a world of wonder. 

Tonight I hung out with some friends and played trivia to help support a band program in a neighboring town. We met up for a meal before and had a good time chatting before going to trivia. To say I killed it at trivia would be an understatement, but it’s always fun to field the question, “How do you know that?!?!” I don’t know. I just know it. I wish I had a better answer. We didn’t win, but I believe we finished in 4th place so that’s nothing to be ashamed about.

Two cherry, two peach, and two apple pies!
